Seven Deadly Sins

Here's a quick story,
Of the Seven Deadly Sins
Now pay attention mind you
Because it could help you in the end

So it begins,
Let us list them without doubt
One by one,
Singling none out

They are all equally dangerous,
In their own unique way
One being hazardous as the next,
If you're not careful, you just might dearly pay

Let's begin with Lust,
Overwhelming desire for bodily beauty
I personally know someone guilty of this,
And they are not going to end up being too happy

Next we have Envy,
Desire for something another person has
That's about all there is to it
But do not think it will just past

Here we have Gluttony,
The habit or act of eating or indulging too much
Usually what you'll end up doing,
Is giving your stomach a clutch

Are you with me so far?
Paying close attention?
I'd hope you are,
Because they are not yet all mentioned

Wrath isn't a good thing,
Intense anger and hatred
It can make you loose trust,
Something one should dread

This one not as serious,
As the other sins
Sloth this one's called,
Laziness is where it begins

A sad one this can be,
Greed it is named
Disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason,
Can result in villainous fame

At the end of the list
Only one remains
The one called Pride
A sin especially vain

Pride can be considered,
The sin the others derive from
It is a sin of desire to be more important or attractive than others
Something that bluntly is dumb

Failing to give compliments to others,
Though they may be deserving of them
Is not a fine thing to do,
You could end up condemned

Now you've heard a story,
Of the seven deadly sins
Take heed to this warning,
So that none of them shall begin

Gettng Away With Murder

I'm craving you, to see your dismembered parts
you were happy before, now the madness starts

I'm no psycho, just a hungry thriller
call me what you want, even killer

ghost face, myers, voorhees, nothing on me
Krueger, leather face, smaller than my spree

phones, computers, I'll use them all for a fright
"do you like scary movies?" echoed in the night

what creates my madness, it's people just like you
maybe i am crazy, i just love seeing bowels spew

so why have a holiday with Hannibal lector?
choose me, I'll overshadow any past specter

the time is up, the body count rising like cream
oh by the way, look behind you, time to scream

ASHES AND WINE

The perfect sound of her untamed violin
Sinking into the night's most direful silence,
A music meant to pierce the deepest whim,
Compositions to awake an unleashed vengeance...

The pure child playing couldn't be another...
But an innocent angel,with hair pinned butterflies,
Black curls that seemed to hide a chimeric water
That reflected in her cold blue aggrieved eyes...

A blast of wind has sent the music far and wide
And he, the blood-curdling creature of the shadows
Had felt the thrill within his heart long time denied;
The emotions flowed like a garden of echoes...

His white fangs reflected the pale moon light,
His immortality was his addictive burden...
But the violin choruses he heard were so bright
That attracted him to the house by music poisoned...

A couple of hours to dawn,he entered the mansion...
Charmed by the girl's music,entwined in her eyes,
The vampire listened and smiled with passion..
He had no choice but leave as he felt the sunrise...

The girl just couldn't let him go astray
And played the most grievous and cruel song,
As the vampire's blood tears couldn't fade away...
Memories about his human life,melancholy felt so strong..

Immortality,the loneliness he had locked within his soul
Was ended, as he left himself prey to the morning sun
Stricken by an appallingly divine music written is his eye holes...
Ashes to ashes for the vampire who felt undone...

His remnants are still impregnated in her heart
As the cruel girl plays her hell raising violin
While she pours wine on the ashes of her sweetheart
To reminisce the blood he drank to be his sin...

Holding On Is What I'd Like To Do, But It's Just Not For Me

The air's so clear, I can see your smile through the burning particles -
You can beg me to stay, but the heat is becoming uncomfortable to me.
These gases are burning my throat, and the air is fearfully testing my eyes.
The lamp lights are blinking a little too frighteningly for the first night and the air taste free.

Your lips are almost to mine, closer they lean, but should we shrug away (just encase)?
When my eyes can read the nitrogen in the air surrounding us, and I can no longer breathe -
These stars are prickling our imagination and they're casting us new beliefs;
You can beg me to stay, but the heat is becoming uncomfortable to me.

I could only hope there lays a lie - I couldn't stand to fall in love -
Something like warmth surrounds my shoulders, but I wasn't sure it was you.
Those elements sparkle like your hands dancing into mine - tricky, but oh so enjoyable,
And I'm frightened by what the blue neons are murmuring, "love is lost and time is few."

The air's so clear, I can see your smile through the burning particles -
You can beg me to stay, but the heat is becoming uncomfortable to me.
These gases are burning my throat, and the air is fearfully testing my eyes.
The lamp lights are blinking a little too frighteningly for the first night and the air taste free.

If your skin touches mine, I might be okay with it - why don't you try,
Universes away red nova's are bursting just like our hearts are tending to do,
And the particles are whining as they burn into us, molding us into one;
I wonder if you're still there - by my side, beneath the stars - even though I'm touching you.

All the universe gathers around - perhaps their jealous of our communication
With a morality of being a little less proper and a bit more . . .
You'll have to lean a little closer - I'd kiss your ear and the more you heard.

If you whisper into my ear, with crisp lights between our cheeks, I'll want to shudder closer,
But the light burns brighter to say, "It's too dangerous! Now is your chance to flee."
The air's so clear, I can see your eyes through the burning particles;
I'll admit, "Holding on is what I'd like to do, but it just isn't for me."

Sweetest kiss in the rain
by Nikki

When I first met my husband
I knew right from the start
That he was the one for me
And we would never fall apart

We went for a walk
I remember one night
We were holding hands
And our love felt so right

It started to sprinkle
Then turned to heavy rain
By we did not turn back
It was nothing we could not sustain

We stopped at the river
And sat under a tree on the ground
I sat in the coldness
And my love I had found

He held me close
And kept me warm
I knew he would keep me safe
From every storm

We stayed for a while
But it turned cold as ice
My body was frozen
By my heart he did entice

Even though I was cold
I did not want to go
He started walking me home
But in my heart I did know

That with him I wanted to stay
Just to say I love him
But I thought chances of us;
Staying together were very slim

We got to my driveway
He looked at me
When I looked in his eyes
All I could see

Was the love that I could feel?
And how happy I felt
I felt as if my heart was burning
And that it started to melt

Soaking wet we stood there
My body could not feel the cold pain
But he lent in and kissed me
And I had the sweetest kiss in the rain

Ventriloquist (Acrostic/Rondel Hybrid)
Bryan

Violins play in the background sweet melodies
Everyone dances, not a sad soul in sight
No sorrow lingers, happiness fills the night
Times stands still, everyone is in tranquility
Reminiscing on these enchanting memories
In-secluded love fills the room tonight
Laughing and talking, so easy to see
Over the disguise for-shown in the light
Questions still linger, no guarantees
Unanswered heartaches giving a fight
Instantly the clouds begin to recite
Showing the magic under the mist
This is the sorrowed life of a ventriloquist

a style that i thought would be cool, it uses the rondel rhyme scheme ABBAABABABBAA, and spells out a word or sentence like the acrostic style, hope yall like it!!!

The Death Of Those Who Starve

Empty stomachs growl in silent quivering pain,
To steal one loaf of bread, Forever to live in vein,
Emptiness of salvation lost through children's eyes,
Crying out into the night, Hidden behind disguise,
Does death be the outcome of those who do steal,
And life being lost as another soul begins to escape,
As the destiny of children slowly begin to take shape.

Brightness is lost behind the colors of shadowed grays,
Starvation brought upon while a child lives her final days,
No money for medicine so heaven is what she will seek,
As tears fall from her eyes and land on delicate cheek,
All beauty that once was, is lost in the sorrow of pain,
And upon her demise, God opened up heavens skies,
As he cried the melody of his aching hearts song.

As she laid her tiny body upon a bed of withered dirt,
The pain she came to feel, No longer shall this child hurt,
As the tears from the lords eyes hit the world around,
A storm is placed as rain hits gently without a sound,
Innocence became lost behind a life of cruelness,
All because no one could help a child in starving need,
God has came to realize what he created lives in greed.

Altered

Days of youth spent in steady storm,
On occasion a vision of glorious sun,
But the tempest had much to accomplish,
And my blooms were seldom beautiful,
Season after season has passed,
Water has all but decayed my landscape,
I have trimmed and nourished,
Reconstructed my nature,
The flowers of my mind,
Feeding upon my soul,
Escaping this dark besieger,
Who once took pleasure,
Feasting upon my heart,
Smiling as my essence,
Red as blood,
Dripped from his sadistic smile.

Troubled Water

I'm leaving tomorrow
And I don't know why?
There's something wrong with my soul,
For now all I can do is sigh

There's something I told you
But you don't know
That now it is true -
I'm sorry, but I must go

I'm leaving troubled water
I'm leaving all my dreams of you
I cannot be Mrs Walker
I'm sorry, but we're through

I just can't go on
I want to run away
Soon I'll be gone
I think I'll go today

Because tomorrow
Won't help me at all
I have no goal
I'm beginning to fall

I apologise profusely for what I have done
But I can no longer live a lie
I'll always love you, John
I'm sorry, but this is goodbye.

Quiet fiction

by NyellMoonlight

Replay it, all over again, your fake honesty;
amount of butterflies died in front of my eyes.
Share it with me, misdirected sympathy
in this shattered moment of broken lies.

Aftermath, oh, all minor conclusions,
through the lands of tomorrows illusive and pail;
Thoughts behind the faces, I can't recall all names...
Don't look at me, casting the shame.

Acrobats in the heart leave me speechless,
to find a cure for extended bitterness;
theories connected with entwined sighs
were shaped like skeletons and dragon- flies.

My creams are polite, highlighting contradictions.
Ultimate search for magic formula ends now;
I'm mixing potions with words and blood,
creating this down of quiet fiction.

Demonic Frailty

by My Decadent

I could drown into the deep sea of her eyes,
And enchanted by her sweet voice of sorrow
I could just close my feeble heart of cries
Only to open it again upon the dawn of tomorrow.
...
..
.
For a black heart will only find beauty in darkness
Where the shadows of death may lie;
For under the cold breath of sickness
Only the weak shall die.

For the silent cries of the purest heart
Will only fall upon putrid skin;
For a love so strong can't be torn apart -
You aren't weak if you don't give in.
.
..
...
I could stand here all day mezmerized by thee;
Infatuated by the sheer bliss of your presence,
Hidden beneath thy wings protecting me
As I fade into the void of calming silence.

My love, come! And let us reign upon this land!
If our souls and hearts are sown together
No god, nor devil would ever dare stand
In front of our love - not now, not ever!
...
..
.
For a black heart is said to be evil and cruel,
But oh, how ignorant this is!
For under the coldness of this ashen ghoul
Is but a great desire for your kiss.

For a demon is said to feel nothing at all -
Never love; Never care; Never cry.
For a monster such as I is bound to enthrall
Only the weak which desire to die.
.
..
...
The world can't understand what truly lies within
This demon shedding tears upon a face so pale;
They'll never know that my only true sin
Is loving you so much that it makes me frail...

With love,
Your Decadent.

A place in Heaven for the Fallen

by Ilinca Milosan

The night embraced the sleepy city yet again,
The moon shines silvery upon this world of men.
He kneeled before the cross of God - praying
For his disease to go away, but he was not complaining.

His fever was up high and he had hallucinations
All the shadows in the room seemed like devilish temptations
And the air was harder to breathe, his heart was racing,
But he was heroically fighting with the sickness he was facing.

The wind was blowing cold putting out the shimmer candle light
As a mistress's silhouette walked in his room making him fright.
"Who are you?" he said - his voice trembling with insecurity,
But the woman didn't answer mesmerized by his untouched purity.

Suddenly the room went cold and he felt shivers down his spine
"I have come to release you from your pain and make you mine"
The mistress now replied and within a second she was standing by his bed
"Go away! Leave me alone!" was all that he could have said.

She paid no attention to his words and she got closer to his face
"Have trust in me, my dear, and let us share eternity's grace"
And she gently kissed his neck searching cautiously for a vein
To push her fangs within it quickly so there'll be no pain.

Before he knew what was going on his heart had stopped beating,
She turned him into her kind and prepared him for fleeting
Away from that place where sickness seemed at home -
He was now in the arms of the undead thrown...

Many days had passed since his sudden transformation
He was now unwillingly darkness's creation.
He did not want to live forever in the gloomy night
And his mistress's presence was not wanted in his sight.

Feeding with the blood of the humans that were once his kind
Was something outrageous that could not be assimilated by his mind,
From the start, he did not want to be part of this so called life;
This was not as the woman had planned - she was now in strife.

One night he ran away finding shelter underneath a tree
"I do not wish to be undead - this is not the real me!
God where are you? Please release me from all of this
And may that fiendish woman burn in Hell along with her mortal kiss!"

His body was weak for he didn't feed since he was made
As he hoped that hunger will help him faster to fade
And when he felt like he was left alone, abandoned by all
Exquisite white angels surrounded him for they heard his desperate call.

Their faces bared no signs of hate; their eyes were filled with love
Amidst doves and divine rays of the purest light sent "Come, child, don't be afraid! Father sent us to bring you in our paradise"
"But I am a fallen one..." he said with crimson tears in his eyes.

"You did not cope with the creature in which you were transformed,
You still strived to be human and you wanted your heart adorned
With the purity that you still keep buried deep inside your core
And so you are now as welcomed to our Heaven as you were before."

He remained astonished by the angel's words and so
He got up from the muddy ground and felt ready to go.
The angles took him in their arms and they rose in God's empire
Where darkness never reigns and peace burns bright like fire.

Lingering Love
By: Somber Esprit

Burning pain in my chest
Sharp ice in my gut
Cool tears welling forth
Through eyes tightly shut

With a ghost from the past
I cannot compete
Her name is a blow
Knocks me from my feet

I curl in a ball
All anguish and tears
You loved her first
For so many years

I put on a mask
And say it's alright
Pain buried deep down
Greets my pillow at night

I can't find the words
To say how I feel
The wounds you have caused
Will eventually heal

Whatever you do
I will forgive you
The past or the present,
Whoever you choose

We'll Never Know (You and Me) [Lyrics]

Verse 1:
You tied me up with a string, just to keep me holding on,
You spun such lies and sugar-coated life, but I knew all along.
I played your game, but I held the ace, and look at who has won -
So continue to think you have the royal flush, I'll be having the fun.
The web of lies you decided to spin are oh, so intricate,
And I don't think you'll ever come clean; I don't think you'll ever admit.
Give up, you lose, pack up and go home -
'Cause if I must be lonely, I'd much rather be alone.
You thought that Id' be different, but how right, you did not know;
I hid my heart up my sleave, where no one dared to go.

Chorus:
We'll never know what we could've been -
Now I've learned how, how not to give in.
You'll never show someone all you can be.
I guess we'll never know about, you and me.

Verse 2:
Dangling, I spun, but I did it just for fun -
You didn't know all along that I was already done.
No more holding onto hopes and to empty dreams,
Because my life is so much more than it seems.
Cliches are just that; broken hearts aren't for me -
I can do better and be all I can be.
Someone will love me for just who I am;
Someone will care and they will understand.
But for now, I'll leave you with just one thought:
Don't let me be the one that you somehow forgot.

Chorus:
We'll never know what we could've been -
Now I've learned how, how not to give in.
You'll never show someone all you can be.
I guess we'll never know about, you and me.

Bridge:
Broken-down hearts in need of something more -
Gradually learning it's too much to just ignore.

Chorus:
We'll never know what we could've been -
Now I've learned how, how not to give in.
You'll never show someone all you can be.
I guess we'll never know about, you and me.

We'll never know what we could've been -
Now I've learned how, how not to give in.
You'll never show someone all you can be.
I guess we'll never know about, you and me.

The White Dot

I am just a single white dot
And my heart and soul scream.
I shout at all the beautiful colors
But no one seems to see me

What did I do to become... this.
I wish I were blue, but I'm not
Or the hottest red, or light pink?
But I'm just a single white dot.

I try to be perfect, still no cigar.
Ignored, alone, I'm so sad.
Why didn't anyone tell me
That being white was so bad?

I am invisible to everyone
Who would have thought
That it all would be like this.
I am just a stupid white dot.

Falling into the swirl of beauty
I lay there hopeless, trembling
Wishing for more than white.
"Please someone just see me..."

Despair hits me between the eyes.
In the middle, I am here to rot.
I am nothing more than just me.
Simply: a single tiny white dot.

Near the colors I start to fade
My senses begin to drawback
"I'm sorry, I can't be more."
The White falls into the black.

Abandoned Blood~

Please don't make me
Please let me stay
I can't go back yet
Just one more day?

I begged her so often
To keep me there
She shut her eyes and shook her head
As if she didn't care

You see my sister was older
And out on her own
But instead of taking me in
She left me alone

She knew what went on there
She knew what he did
He did it to her too
When she was a kid

So I pray she'll understand
And empathize with me
But she only throws me back
Instead of setting me free

I squeeze her hand tighter
As we walk through my door
But I knew I was in for it
When I saw blood on the floor

She ran from the scene quickly
And I screamed for her to come back
Now I have no where to turn...
Right then my future turned black

That night was the worst
He beat me like never before
From then on I blamed her
For all of my horror

Seven years have gone by now
He still beats us every night
But I'm sixteen now
And I won't put up with the fight

I will run away forever
But I'm leaving you this
So you'll remember the happiness
You made me miss

Dear Sister,

Why did you leave me
Leave me here to die
My life with you
Is drowning in lies

I didn't want to go home
Yet you always took me back
You are the reason
My future turned black

I will now leave you
And you'll forever know
That you caused my pain
And made my tears flow

.....Your abandoned blood

Sweet Surrender
______________

Bridled passion
fervent desire
rapidly becoming
a frenzied fire
destined to
devour my soul
frantically warring
self control
sultry motive
extreme need
certain destruction
forsaken creed
vicious burning
intense emotion
caustic to
self devotion
long awaited
sweet surrender
relishing in
passion's splendor

A Young Killers Mind

By Ashlee Nicole

Dark, and Cold.
Your blood on the floor.
The knife in my hand,
As I stand at the door.

I reach for the towel,
To wipe off my face.
We have to get out of here,
Far away from this place.

Your eyes still open,
Staring deep into my soul.
Your breathing slowing down now,
This is way out of control.

We've always just laid there,
While you beat us down.
No one ever believed us,
Not in this little town.

We fought back this time,
Much to your surprise.
We showed you how it feels,
With the horror in your eyes.

Stabbed you once,
Then Stabbed you twice.
Right through your heart,
That my father is the price.

To hurt us all,
And make us cry.
Your own children,
Now we say Good Bye.

I grabbed the knife,
From Lilly's hand.
They'll never believe,
This wasn't planned.

She's only nine,
Yet killed you with ease.
Then stabbed you again,
As you fell to your knees.

You never saw it coming,
As she ran from behind.
The knife in her hand,
A young killers mind.

She was protecting us,
That's what I'll say.
Cause it's the truth,
It happened that way.

The bruises will show,
The truth that we speak.
On all five of us,
Just from this week.

She showed him how,
The five of us feel.
The inside of our hearts,
Which shall never heal.

If I Could
by Kristi H.

If I could, I would,
Stare deep into your eyes.
If I could, I'd tell you,
I don't want to say goodbye.

If I could, I'd say,
Don't ever go away.
If I could, I'd say I love you,
Every single day.

If I could, I'd say I'm sorry,
For everything I've done.
I'll hug you and kiss you,
You'll be my number one.

If I could, I'd give you,
All the love in the world.
But right now, all I can offer
Is a chance to be your girl.

Curiosity

On a beautiful, sun kissed, autumn morn',
Tracks of others seen on soft dewy lawn.
Jolted movement seen through fallen leaves.
The thrill of a hunt was enough just to please.

Head says to wait, heart wanting to charge,
Destiny defined you'd be a predator at large.
Unsure on approach; you take one tentative pause.
You've razor sharp teeth and ten surgical claws.

Super sharp senses, now approaching your prey.
You're stalking your quarry so it won't run away.
Wanting. No. Needing to know what's through there.
Heightened hearing mixed with a steely stare.

Sneaky stealth courses through speedy feet.
Knowing full well your enemy will be beat.
Only yards away your anticipation rises.
You and you alone are the king of surprises.

Muscles tense up, ready for the imminent kill,
This type of precision attack is your ancestral skill.
Decisions click into place. It's time for the rush.
One almighty pounce, you push through the bush.

You claw nothing but air as you land on your feet.
Stuck, stranded in the middle of the street.
There's nothing to kill and nothing to chase.
Just huge, metal animals engaged in a race.

Hissing loudly as you collide with the beast,
No more anticipation, this hunt has now ceased.
At the "snap" of bone, you know that you're beat.
Pain caresses your carcass like a deep soulful heat.

You hear your name called, not knowing where.
She softly strokes your thick blood matted hair.
You see masters face, feel her hand and her breath.
You're purring away as you give in to your death.

~Pete.

Gambling love

You cheat me twice
rolling those dice
gambling on chance
simply playing romance.

Deal the cards
of my hearts shards
toy with me
to get what you see.

Treasures and gold
are the things you wish to behold
Stabbing my heart
is only the start.

Playing the slots
Lucky 777 was what you got
riches pour
and my heart grows so sore.

Your close to the grand prize
as I die
gambling it all
my heart is about to fall.

I mourn
from being torn
love becoming dust
as Im ripped apart.

You lost your riches
and I have to get stiches
all for your cheating wants
and I pay the price.

I work to heal my heart
but you dont care the cost
grabbing another guys fate
only to leave them with hate.

Wish That I Were

Wish that I were the moon
To softly kiss your sleep
To lie in love beside you
Caress your slumber deep

Wish that I were the stars
To light your darkest night
To hold your heart inside me
A beacon shining bright

Wish that I were the sun
To wash your every day
To color all your sunsets
Warmth that never goes away

Wish that I were the wind
To whisper breaths of love
To send a sigh of ecstasy
Enraptured from above

Wish that I were time
To give back what has passed
To ask for all and nothing
Just to be with you at last

Beauty in his eyes

So beautiful was my sunrise
the dusty color of your eyes
but soon they turned to shards of glass
misery in their melodious laugh
why do I now feel betrayed?

Fallen i have on the side of the street
the bubbles of blood for each heartbeat
iridescent rainbows floating high
I can only yearn for the sky
even my wings leave me behind

My mouth nothing but a whispered thought
laughter is forgotten as well as for what I fought
from this battle there has been no gain
oh why does it hurt, this pain?
I thought love was like a song

Why can't I hear the call of birds?
the only relief from your words
like a harsh wind in the silence
how can you hurt me without violence?
a puppet on a string

A neverending fence of barbed wire
surrounds me, burning red with fire
I've trapped myself in my own mind
or was it you? memory I cannot find
all I know is that I cry

Insanity of broken smiles
the bliss of darkness for awhile
eternal game of hide and seek
please don't find me, do not peek
I hide in my own shadow

A flowing beauty of dark brown
in your eyes only I can drown
my tortured mind immune to lies
how beautiful is the sunrise
a dark hole in the sky

How many can we enter??

As many as you wish.

Ohh
thank you.
:)

Flying

A tear brighter than a star,
comes shimmering down from afar,
a wing of gold,
a tongue of flame,
yet this can only lead to shame.

A fear now thrown away,
joyfully welcoming the day,
so impossibly alive.
Four paws of stone,
now running home.

A dream now come to life,
by teeth sharper than a knife,
tail streaming out beneath.
As it screams in it's exalted state,
yet happiness is always too late.

Muscles tired from standing,
wings too sore for landing,
it all was just a dream.
Too long standing on a pedestal,
for this, even god can fall.

Even the darkness sparkles in his majesty,
king of honor and honesty,
yet unseen by all.
And a lion stands alone,
on his golden throne.

And a tear brighter than a star,
can only fly so far,
before it hits the ground.
A feather floating down,
to settle on his crown.

Xx Thorned Beauty xX

Red velvet petals, soft to the touch
Never has one rose inspired so much
A scent so calming, beautiful and true
Enriched by the sparkling diamonds of dew

Yet underneath the gentle exterior waits
A warrior protecting these heavenly gates
Sharp thorns run up this slim stem of green
Proving not everything is as it seems

This thorned beauty teaches a lesson, take heed
How something so gorgeous evolves from a seed
Standing so tall, so delicate yet strong
Standing for love, for whats right and wrong

Rich ruby reds, glistening with tears
A fragile masterpiece, matured over years
Beauty and strength come together as one
Inspiring more hearts as this life goes on

A Flower Paperweight

Behold!
My crystal crypt
Lavender blooms rejoice
In eternal beauty
Yet
Within this cold embrace
I live not
This vision of perfection
Holds not my soul
Nor my quickening heart
In fragrant Spring's rebirth
Death bathes my petals

A Poet's Pen Is False Release

A poet's pen with dexterous hand
Ink to paper often can
Woo a heart, bring on a tear
Soothe a soul or beckon fear
A harbinger of ecstasy
Written word but fantasy

A poet's pen cannot replace
Feelings held when face to face
Two hearts beating skin to skin
As passions fan the fire within
Eyes and lips light gaze to blaze
These can't be captured on a page

A poet's pen is false release
The ink and paper outlet brief
Though poem penned will time withstand
It traces not a lover's hand
As writer's splendid bounty falls
Know loneliness eclipses all

Violin Strings Of Sorrow

The darkest of all violin stings,
Etched upon a souls depth,
Words echo throughout time,
As cries collapse sweet lungs.

Melodic tunes hold no beauty,
Guitar strings suddenly fray
Piano keys lose all sound,
As distant weeps begin to wake.

Lost throughout eerie mist,
A shadow falls to the ground,
Trapped within delicate eyes,
A child drowned in song.

Haha!! Here's one of my prized!!

For Kyo
By Yuna

I remember that day,
When I came home at last,
I was training in the mountains,
Time went by so fast.

I saw you for the first time,
You were a stranger to me,
But my mind was on that Yuki,
He was the one I had to beat.

That very same day,
I lost a fight to him again;
To that damn rat named Yuki,
I hate him like the rain.

As the days went by,
I was forced to go to school,
I should`ve flunked the entrance exams,
But I came out as the fool.

So many things have happened,
So many things have changed.
My whole world is not the same,
It really is quite strange.

I reunited with many cousins,
All of which were healed.
By the hand of your heart,
And the warmth of your kind soul.

My life has been a road block,
I don`t know where to go.
So much pain and agony,
That much I do know.

Many secrets I did keep,
Many stories left untold,
There`s no way I could share them,
There`s no way I`d be that bold.

I kept seeing your face,
As bright as the early sun.
My life became less violent,
You made it seem like fun.

But then that fateful day
When my shishou did arive,
The fear came crawling back,
I did not want to be alive.

You saw what I kept secret,
You saw my ugly self.
My true form may it be
Taken off a dusty shelf.

I thought that is was over,
I thought I had no chance,
But then you came toward me,
And offered me a glance.

Your face showed sadness;
Your eyes showed fear.
I felt so guilty
When you came near.

I couldn`t blame you,
As the rain came down.
But I was surprised,
When you came around.

I never thought it possible,
That I the cursed cat,
Could be healed by this person,
Just like that.

You told me something,
I shall never forget.
Let`s be together.
I don`t want to leave you yet.

That is when I realized,
My life no longer worthless.
I had someone who understood,
My pain, stress and loneliness.

I want to live with you forever,
That is my final vow,
To protect you with all my might,
Tohru, I shall.

|'ll love you always.
That`s the final truth.
Together forever.

Solitary death

Burn my soul,
above the hands of death.
My heart is sold,
there's nothing in me left.

Tie my hands with thorns,
and let them bleed.
I won't feel the pain,
when I finally fall asleep.

kiss my grave,
at the solitary cemetery.
No one will be there,
it's only you and me.

The view is dead,
it's only mist and stone.
The words are read,
from the carvings on my bone.

Don't mourn for me,
or I'll show my wrath.
I'm happy to be dead,
with my solitary death.

Destruction (after death)

The vice kills the sun,
on twilight's shadow it feeds.
Fall into despair,
paper dancer bleeds.
Morbid.
Surreal.

The corpses are awake,
leaving traces of death.
They have reached here,
I hold my breath.
Feared.
Frightened.

Your soul drenched in blood,
I help you drown.
Glass in your eyes,
can you see me?
Blinded.
Sightless.

I sleep to die,
hunger for pain.
Scream the sacred vows,
evil will rise again.
Stoned.
Silent.

Walk on the grounds of sorrow,
the blood of self satisfaction.
All hail the master.
Destruction.

Where the Shadows Meet

In the darkest place where the shadows meet,
we hide intent with perfect deceit.
Masks conceal the true hearts beat,
with sugary lip and smiles so sweet.

Knowing not the masks true name,
in perfect sync we play the game.
Small deeds receive highest acclaim...
Mask of loves' alight and insane.

One hundred percent sure this love is true.
Shadows hide the true face of you.
Years will pass as love we pursue,
until slowly the mask is brought to view.

Surprised to see what the mask became,
unsatisfied we lay the blame.
Beauty becomes a mask of shame
Shadows now show their hidden name...

Finally, the heart admits defeat...
hopes and dreams now incomplete,
leave broken hearts with not a beat,
in the darkest place where the shadows meet...

An adu about nothing

i found patience passed out on the basement couch
with a quilt woven of something for somebody's sake.
and i wished it was you who was calm and collected
because assurance keeps me from laying awake.
despite the brutality i've done to my lip, i'm sure that
i never really knew the things i wanted from you.
with thick lines of blackmail, i'm at my wits end now;
you've got this arguement gagged and sealed for two.
this something for somebody is growing so very tiresome,
so you can slip your adues through the mail slot out front.
i have so less of nothing that i feel the glass is a quarter
full of what it ever really seemed to be, shards of glass so blunt.

i've slipped in the middle of circles
with gag rags made to rope.
i've touched difference with my fingertips
just to figure in a form of hope.
i have shirtsleeves full of sweet nothings,
lies and lyrics laced with, it'll all be okay's.
while circles have no beginnings you'll find
neither did we on these road soaked days.

to be quite honest, your biased opinons are burning up
with ashes laid out to surrender to the rain stained air.
and your book smarts wont help you with what i am;
the man that lost his breath inside a whisp of your hair.
i feel everything and anything, i wish you knew that,
maybe then you could have believed what i felt was real.
i never tasted anything like your incentive on a tuesday
and your insight at three am with the looks you left to steal.
but with bitten back one liners, and a heavy held heart
i couldn't hold onto all of the things you've given to me.
so i'll drink my drink, without you knowing some things;
sorts of things you always knew were important to me.

i've slipped in the middle of circles
with gag rags made to rope.
i've touched difference with my fingertips
just to figure in a form of hope.
i have shirtsleeves full of sweet nothings,
lies and lyrics laced with, it'll all be okay's.
while circles have no beginnings you'll find
neither did we on these road soaked days.

Tick Tock

Intricate stories of lustful love
are winding their spindly fingers
around the hands of time,
each hour passing by without a chime.
Not a whisper, not a sound;
unheard is the soft voice of emotions never found.
Tender hearts and saddened eyes
remain fragile from the lies;
wounds and bruises spot the skin,
scarring the shell she takes refuge in.
Hiding from the world outside,
the Truth she just cannot abide.
She allows this stopping of the clock,
knowing that the pieces of her life are always kept in stock.
The ticks of the second hand come to a halt,
while she tries to convince herself that there are no faults.
Says she: 'His character is strong'
but the hurt will come before too long.
The mother-of-pearl face crashes onto the floor,
and of time: there is no more.
She must hurry, and erase the pain he's caused,
because slowly, the minutes will become unpaused.

Sorry!! I saw this one, and it's also one of my prized ones! ^_^ Thank-you!!

The Feeling of Love
By: Yuna

It is the feeling
of being in love
it captures the soul
it flies like a dove.

Such a fantasy
cannot exist
but maybe it can
Just like this.

So many things,
I wish I could do,
but right at the top,
is to just be with you.

So may the waves crash
into the sands of time
and may I love you
will you always be mine?

I cry out for thee
hoping for a hand
for the sweet touch of an angel
of this bright and sacred land.

My love goes higher,
and my love goes deeper
for you...,
and only you.

I know that I don't have any chance but why not!

Exile of dreams

by DarkSpirit

He kissed her bones
even now he was a soul-eater.
She was quiet, lost forever,
burned down in twisted love.

His heart was mute projector,
playing her compressing emotions;
-a coffin is well of senselessness-
walking backwards on her death body he stumbled.

Trapped in performance of bloody smiles;
Statues on the balcony battled above the sky
with the energy of tears sedimented over embraces,
while the spiders made an electric fence.

Window of memories looked on stone bridges-
in the highest tower built with existence
a black-winged rabbit arched over
wounded, proud owl.

He was exiled of dreams,
walked on embody of hopes,
got the curse wrapped like a gift,
conflicted with the system, he lost.

To hide priceless, rived charms of the ending
on the most logical place; to steal the pain of losses.
Every pink table has a knife on it's surface
and next to it- forgotten rose.

From every petal a flame rises in the air,
building a red vortex that represents
a mirror; whispers scratch the walls,
slowly. He declaims the last hymn.

Truly beautiful place,
white clouds sing with smiling sun.
Behind the veil in the miracles of his I wandered;
truly beautiful place for death.

Little Black Dress (acrostic)

Lovely velvet eyes, with gold powder enlightening her smile,
Innocent natural beauty, makes life worthwhile.
Tied little gold ribbon in her strawberry blond hair,
Taking her first steps in heels, high on fresh air.
Looking beautiful and young, pink rosy cheeks,
Enjoying each moment, month, day and week.

Blue eyes like the ocean a natural sight,
Looking forward to the rest of tonight.
A sparkle of glee as she leaves with her date.
Carefully planning her time as not to be late.
Keeping her cool, her posture as she walks through the door,

Dominating the looks as she heads for the dance floor.
Remember this day she shall for the rest of her life
Everyone watching her dress float with each stride.
Singing to herself, this night is her best,
Stealing the evening in her little black dress.
