The Queen's Poetry Contest: Part 1 (of 3)

In this contest series, I will be exploring the spectrum of human emotions. I'm only going to be doing 3 parts, but the final conclusion will have a twist.

Rules:
1) Maximum: 2 poems per person
2) Poem must be new, but can be any style and most definitely does not have to rhyme
3) Of course, all your own work, no taking song lyrics as your own inspiration
4) Every poem must be done by deadline and with its theme.
5) No more than 2 people to 1 title

Everyone MUST pick a specific theme for their poems and tell me what it is. The theme can be any sort of human emotion: greed, anger, sadness, etc.

Deadline: December 8th

I'll take angel with the Scabbed Wings and I'm using rejection/anger as my theme. Thanks!

I'd like to reserve: "Tainted Love" & "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)" and both with the emotion of LOVE please.

Thanks!

Disposable Teens
and
The Red Carpet Grave .

Do they both have to be the same emotion ?

In The Shadow of the Valley of Death

The Minute of Decay

please and thanks, I will let you know when I write what my emotional theme is.

^No they don't have to be the same emotion at all
&
It's okay if you tell me the theme now but make sure to put the theme with your poem, like tell me before or after unless its clearly in the title

thanks!

Tainted Love

You make me feel special,
You make me feel right.
You know when I'm wrong,
You know when I'm right.

Nobody knows me better,
Than the way you know me.
I wanna thank you for everything,
For making me happy.

I've known you for as long as I can remember,
And you've been my best friend ever since.
Look at us now,
We're together with a son to care for.

Your tainted love is like no other,
Because you'll never break my heart.
I'll never leave your side,
Because I'll love you 'till our ending days.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)

You came to light up my life,
And I get sweet dreams from it all.
When you give me those happy moments,
I remember them in my dreams.

It makes me happy to know,
That I see you when I'm awake and asleep.
Everything that I am now,
I owe it all to you.

The sweet dreams I have,
Are made up of your wonders.
Only you have the power to give them to me,
And I thanks you for that.

With you I never get nightmares,
Because your handsome face is too beautiful.
I always wonder if you'll give them to me,
For the rest of our lives.

I want to thank you for the dreams,
That are so beautiful.
I'll love you for the rest of my life,
My husband to be.

The Minute of Decay

The moment that you faltered,
I lost myself to hate,
I swore that I would break you,
My bittersweet soul mate.

No care, just disregard,
Indifference turned my soul,
Tell me how you love me,
Or how I make you whole.

Spin your web sweet spider,
You won't catch me today,
The flames inside my mind,
Your first step to decay.

Much more bitter is the poison,
When it comes from your own bloom,
It's amazing how it spreads,
Its sickly sweet perfume.

The anger eats my beating heart,
My veins fill with disdain,
For everything you gave to me,
For everything you've slain.

Oo! i want "Beautiful People" and i'm going to write about jealousy. is that how this works? idk.

Beautiful People

There are beautiful people everywhere.
Walking down Blanco Road,
Conversing in the Coffee Spot,
Mulling 'round the mall...
Everywhere, they're everywhere,
Everywhere but my mirror.

They, The Beautiful, they call me,
But I cannot, will not, should not pick up.
Because I'm crying,
And I'm screaming,
I'm trying to become them.
Because they're everywhere, everywhere,
Everywhere but my mirror.

Two beautiful people,
They look at me, and talk to me.
They talk about this thing called love,
How it's oh so hard to find,
As if I haven't realized that,
Seeing as they've got it,
And they're everywhere,
Couples of them,
They're everywhere, everywhere,
Everywhere but my mirror.

A Beautiful, she looks at me,
At my little nose,
My too-big eyes,
My messy hair,
My lack of figure,
And I know that they are everywhere,
They're everywhere, everywhere,
Everywhere but my mirror.

Sweet dreams are made of these please
