Broken Dreams Belong To Me [Glosa Verse]

Hotel California ~ Eagles
``````````````````````````
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz.
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends.
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

Stuck inside a world that few, she'd ever show -
And yet, she wishes, somehow, that everyone could know.
"All those broken dreams belong to me," she sadly sighs;
Her mascara hides any traces her plastic appearance cries.
Crowded around her are all her so-called "friends";
She wishes that all the promises she broke she could somehow amend.
She cries black tears in the vulnerable, dead of night,
Wishing for someone to just come back and make it right.
But it always winds up hurting more in the end -
"...Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz."

Perfection is what she wanted, it was the only thing she craved,
So she took her mind out of the game and she put her heart on save.
Feelings don't matter, who really cares about those?
So hold you head up high Baby - strike a deadly pose.
Yet all those broken dreams can never really end,
Reminding her that deep down, she's still just playing pretend.
The only thing to fix it would be for all the nightmares to shatter -
Leaving her with only the friends who really, truly matter.
But for now, the only ones are the fakes she could happen to befriend.
"...She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends."

She has the hot boyfriend - she thought she had it all;
Once she hit rock bottom, there was no where else to fall.
Reality is just a word that means nothing to her -
Like a disease, she thought perfection was the cure.
Those broken dreams keep her life in check;
Causing this havoc and creating this wreck.
Broken inside, but she dares not show it -
Wishing that at least one of her "friends" could know it.
All the fake memories, oh how could she forget?
"...How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat."

Hidden behind lies, lip gloss and black
Is a heart with a hole, showing all she lacks.
Broken dreams belong to her - that's all she ever was;
There's no way to fix it, it's useless because -
She's living her life on perfection and regret.
A crumpled up doll the world just forgets.
So life's her favorite game; her heart's on save.
Dancing like a marionette, becoming her own slave.
It's all those broken dreams she will always fully regret.
"...Some dance to remember, some dance to forget."

Soul gazer

by NyellMoonlight

Azure shadows filled the head,
on the moon's top, we danced,
smiling with the shiniest stars
in the orbits of this liquid world.

Guarding some unsaid thoughts
lyrical motions locked inside,
melody of the silver bells cringed
in front of our alluring masks.

Whole picture's framed with waves,
ebbs and tides of the entwined auras,
beckoning a few lost pieces colored
in whole spectrum of dream's hues.

Patchwork moments tainted souls,
complex yet fragile, cosmically defined;
I see all that as I gaze into your eyes,
the reality's not enough, so blank and gray.

The fall of the bloody world

by DarkSpirit

Apocalyptic melody echoed threatening,
fibers of the world, created for so long, filled with shadows.
Too little time left, the countdown has begun.
Shall we dance for the last time?

Protect your sanguinary memories from oblivion.
The hall is fraught with tragic rhythm that slows down,
settled with cruel rules of life, the penance is uttered.
Shall we dance for the last time?

While death soaks the edges of the world
whole imaginary yet real divine choir dies,
but for the final whispers of the creations the time will remain
Shall we dance for the last time?

Reserve please. :]

Reserve!
Charisma*

Reserve please.

Hawksong
By: Sweet Fragility

Inspired by the book, "Hawksong" by Amelia Atwater Rhodes.

Invoke the air's seductive melody --
Listen to the beautiful, rising notes.
A lullaby soothes her patchwork heart,
The change begins to its sacred song.

The exchange of human vulnerability
For feathers of down and plumage
Has become her escape from reality.
Soft crunch of spine brings nonchalance,
Change to hollow bone brings tranquility.
Her grief and strife quickly forgotten --
As she is cloaked with newfound freedom.

The change ends to a wondrous hawksong --
Spread powerful, golden brown wings,
To feel the hidden glory of flight
And the sweet release from humanity.

Tomorrow's Mystery

There's nothing here to do
And I can't go outside.
The rain is pouring down
Like all the tears I cried.

I'm trapped within this house
Memories closing in.
The pain is rushing back
And trickles down my chin.

Why must it hurt this way?
I wish the months would pass
But they only go slower
As if to make it last.

Each second I wonder
About what could have been
If we had known of this
And done it all again.

Of course, you'd be here
You never would have left.
I wouldn't have to remind
Myself to take each breath.

I miss your face always
Every minute, every day.
And nothing that is said
Makes the hurt go away.

But the future's unknown
Neither of us could see
That by tomorrow's light
You wouldn't be with me.

9/11

Six years have passed
But the memeories remain
No one will ever forget
What happened that horrible day

Hundreds of people dead
Even more are mourning
All because some guy
Wanted all the power

One, two, tree planes
All crashed into buildings
Who saw this coming?
The answer is no one

Now they are fighting
Fighting for what?
Love or Peace?
No one will know

It will never end
And we will never have peace
Never will we be safe
In this horrible world

Only waiting on one person and I can judge

That one person I am assuming is me lol...I was just coming to ask when today this is going to end but I guess I got my answer lol...I have 2 more projects to do on this module in comm class and then I will get it done, it will be in within the next hour. :]

Just realized I wrote a bunch yesterday so I`ll just submit one of those so you don`t have to keep waiting. :]

Unbreak My Heart [Trijan Refrain]

Unbreak my heart, give it back now;
You`ve done enough damage,
I can see from the sweat on your brow --
You`re sinking with the bridge,
Falling slowly -- into the flames,
You`re breaking hearts and taking names.
...........................Falling slowly;
...........................Falling slowly --
Into your lies and pathetic games.

Unbreak my heart, give it back now;
Fill in the cracks you broke,
Take a step back and take a bow;
Try to act cool for your folk;
You`re all the same -- in mind and heart,
Taking hearts and ripping them apart,
........................You`re all the same,
........................You`re all the same --
Reciting lines from the start.

Unbreak my heart, give it back now;
I`m sick of all this pain,
When we try to make it work, somehow --
We both have nothing to gain.
So far gone now, into the dust;
`Cuz you mistook love for lust,
...................So far gone now,
...................So far gone now --
Held down by these chains turned to rust.

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines. Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas. The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8. The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:
Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c
Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8

I have r/c everyone's poem except the 3 below I could not find it on your list, so here ya go lol

The Tasteless~The Heart

I am not sure I like the word "bitersweetness" I think you could have left off the "ness" part and just left it bittersweet.

The message is both beautiful and true, I think too many people don't appreciate that those who are different still feel and hurt the same as the rest of us. If you don't see it it does not matter. Very nice write.

7.5/10

Sluvious~Nevermore

I always love reading your poetry Bob, you don't overdo it, the lines are not overinflated and you always make a statement. You make me want to improve my own writing and clean up my line work. I really cannot say anything negative, I loved it.

Infected with His Deadly Love~9/11

Very nice and I agree, the world will never be at peace, someone will always want the power or the infamy. Memories has an extra e in it. When I first started reading it, it started to flow like it was going to rhyme, but it didn't lol It kinda threw me off a bit. All in all a nice job.

7.5/10
