(:
Yay!

I Won`t See You Tonight, please.

Hahahaa, Britt..Ironically, I put that
one on there just for you or Sheena;
I expected one of you two to take it.

Seize The Day please

Well, you can take more than
one title, Jordan Dear. *hint hint*
LOL.

Forgotten faces

There is a girl on the corner who begs for some change,
I dig in my pocket and begin the exchange,
I hold a small bit of money and lay in her hand,
What we take for granted as we breathe through the sand,
For our heads have been buried, we prefer not to see,
This girl on the corner, lost in debris.

But I think of her story, from where she did come,
What was so sad, that to this, she succumbs?
Was there no one to love her or show her the way?
Was there no one to hold her and say it's okay?

Did she decide just to run, eventhough they did care,
Do they wonder about her and cry in despair?
Does it make her feel empty to stand on this street?
To be scoffed at and stared at, upon this concrete,

Does she sleep somewhere warm or shiver in frost?
Does she dream of the family, she once had, but lost?
I dont really know but my heart must be gracious,
To this girl on the corner even if she's predaceous....

Burn It Down please

Beast and the Harlot for me please...

Thanx.. :)

Burn It Down

Burn it down to the ground,
All is lost,
No hope is found.

The world is but an empty shell,
Lost to greed,
Where death does dwell.

Tarnished soul, broken mind,
Hearts are shattered,
Hope resigned.

Drink of death my mortal friend,
All we know,
Is at an end.

Destiny won't be denied,
We cannot run,
We cannot hide.

Start the fire, coax the flame,
Until there's no one,
Left to blame.

Sacrifice all you know,
For all you have,
Is all you sow.

09. Waking the Fallen for me :)
Good idea for a contest!

Lips of Deceit and Strength of the World

PLZ!
*ME*

Turn The Other Way please

I'll have betrayed... :)

Poetic, Lips of Deceit was reserved before you..but because I am in a good mood, I will let it slide. From now on, everyone please read what other people are reserving.

I won`t see you tonight.

Tall tales of feeble minds falling in love forever,
with happy endings and moonlit walks galore.
Promises are kept and minds never change -
it's what we call a fairy tale; they always end the same,
With smiles, laughs, and joyful smirks rubbing it all in. . .
knowing we can't find it all, even if we tried and tried again.

We're stuck here with only fantasies to keep alive our dreams.
The dreams we hold of love and faith, along with happy endings.
And, we still can't figure out what it takes to love; we're lost.
We're lost in this world of hatred, wars, and bloody battles
ruining our lives. . . they're the reason we're left unloved. . .
Lending excuses to the broken hearted and killing those who aren't.

You can see it in the eyes glistening within this darkened night,
a bit of fear with overwhelming joy; we know it's going to end too soon.
And, with widened smiles and joyful laughs I can say this proudly -
" I won`t see you tonight, it's a promise kept forever.
For, reality is soaring in, with thoughts entering the depths
(And, shall I mention. . . )
Depths are not but a reflection of reality, breaking up our fantasies."

Betrayed

Queer eyes,
sleeps in distress.
A cursed tongue,
forced to confessed.
Bared.
Impured.

Lips with stitches,
forced to silence.
Your morose eyes,
a false ambience.
Muted.
Impaled.

Deplore my trust,
masked with smiles.
Serpentine swirls,
of ethereal deceit.
Broken.
Divine.

Dance of pretence,
releasing hysteria.
Ballad of a liar,
curtains fall.
Phobic.
Ended.

You taint my beliefs with fictions,
breaking the fragile string of my credence so frayed.
Stranded in your words.
Betrayed.

"Blinded in Chains," but only if I can do a prose on it. The titles that are left don't scream "POEM!" to me, so if it's okay to do a prose, I'll definately try that one.
If you don't want a prose, though, it's completely fine, I'd definately understand.
Just let me know asap whether I should write it or not. ^^

Lips of Deceit

He smiles at me devilishly
How does he affect me that way?
Sinful chills race upon my spine
I know I need to turn away.

But I look into those blue, blue eyes
And take a seat next to him.
Inside my mind is saying "RUN!"
And danger's on the brim.

So I try to make conversation
But his lips of deceit spill out
Words that require my attention
Leave my thoughts all about.

Hanging on every syllable
I crave whatever he will give.
Suddenly I'm like a slave
And he decides if I'll live.

So each breath waits for his ok
I dare not exhale without consent.
If only I had walked away
I would not feel this torment.

Breaking these chains of his
Has become my life long goal
For if I let him keep taking me
I will lose my life, my soul.

I put in the ear plugs I had
And pulled down the shades on my eyes
I cannot be affected by him
If I can't hear his sin-sweet lies.

By: *ME*

Can I reserve "Streets"?

Beast and the Harlot

A lonely ambience in austere eyes,
reflected on his sinister beauty.
The canine gaze of a sorrowful beast,
seeking refuge in life of solitary.

Sodomizing her hallowed purity,
they left a scar in her aching pride.
Nights of practicing shadowed blasphemy,
she trades her soul just to stay alive.

Cursed to seek defeat in solitude,
he sang the bane of blackened melody.
Forced to resort to something so crude,
she masticate her heart of elegy.

Amongst the coldly familiar moonlight,
crucified by their memories so tainted.
A lover's sacred requiem at sight,
betroth declared between beast and the harlot.

I want this to end, so anyone can take the last titles, no matter how many you`ve already done.

Whens the official end date because my poem is almost done, it's just not on this comp.

Lol erm, I was waiting for all of the titles to be taken and reserved first, and then I was going to send out remainders of the due date and what not. I`ll give it a few more days, if all of the titles aren`t taken yet then I`ll just have to change the contest around a tad.

I've just found no inspiration for the title Strength of the World and need to unreserve it. I am SOO SOOO SOO sorry about that!

Waking the Fallen

by NyellMoonlight

I'm welcomed to see the world crashing down,
cause of odysseys through the deepest ebony
and flirting with demons; my hand is guided
by purified obscurity, yet the eyes stayed shut.

Forgive me, I still don't know your name
(does it counts that I tried to remember?);
carousels in the heart keep spinning
with reminiscent melody that eternally haunts.

Save me, please, wake me up,
(I can't recall all faces that I've seen on the edge);
staring into the red, bloody moon with closed eyes
I'm welcomed to see the world crashing down.

Alrighty, this is closed now .

Sorry sorry sorry! I totally thought I had already entered this!!!

Streets

A lamppost burns like heaven's delight
Beacon for calm on a busy night
Clicking of heels sounds all alone
Drowning out embers of the silent drone

A flicking of light, a drop of some ash
On cold city streets, they fuse and they clash
The man sits quiet, maybe live, maybe dead
A visionary walks, with nightmares in head

A swift, silent breeze
Graces begging leaves
Falling to the corner
Next to home of the coroner

It is a beautiful night
No noise and no plight
On the cold city streets
No melody, no beats

Alright, this wasn`t easy . Since not all of the poems were entered, I had to cut it down to eight going on . From the next round, there will be either five or four going on . I have put this list in specific order so you know where you stand as of now . If your name appears twice, you will be taking on two in the next round .

1) Britt: Breaking Their Hold
2) Jordan: Shattered By Broken Dreams
3) Teria: I Won`t See You Tonight
4) Queen: Streets
5) Nyell: Waking the Fallen
6) Carrie: Forgotten Faces
7) Decay: Beat and the Harlot
8) Britt: The Art of Subconcious Illusion

Round two will be up in a few minutes, watch for it .

Poems & Quotes has been down a lot for me lately.. I did write the poem though. I'm slightly disappointed you won't be judging it; I think you'd really, really like it..

It`s been down a lot for me, too . But Sheena, I will still read your poem, I love reading your poems .
