Song Poem Contest

OK so all you have to do is take one of these titles of a song and write a poem. It doesn't necessarily have to be about the same thing as the actual song but if it is along the lines of it then that would be better. The dead line is September 8th. Two people per title. New or old poems. Winner gets three comments, one of their choosing. 2nd place gets two comments, one of their choosing and 3rd gets one comment. Have fun guys!!

Twilight.

Lemon drop rays
smile upon cerulean
creased waters;
it's rainbow-like
reflection--
bestowed.

Beauty sprinkles
from it's saffron
silhouette--as it
descends behind
sponge trees of
jade green.

A pearl moon
awakens with a
yawn; it's scarlet
moonlight wrapped
around two lovers
nestled upon
khaki sands.

Waiting On an Angel

His hands are clouded
shrouded
in ink of pens and paint of brushes
and drawing of paper. I smile,
he doesn't understand me,
I don't understand him,
angel. Angel... angel.

My inspirational Godsend I thank
God to be able to meet him,
to know him,
because not all sweet
or mysterious
or amazing things look that
way to every person...

And to look at You, it scares me,
oh you marvelous dark and shrouded angel.
Your dreams are haunting and you hear the same
psychotic sounds I hear.
Your creation is beautiful, horrible, terrifying
but an addiction I can't replicate.

Angel I see, I wait on you to love me,
although our languages are different.
I can't decipher your mind;
I smile,
wait,
if angels live so long.
Then.
I want you,
I want to remember your heart's song.

I want to remember your icy blond hair,
your eyes.
I feel you,
I am amazed by you.
To me, you were always
the portrait that came to life...

You slip away into the future and the past.
I cannot find you,
yet I discover you again;;
from concrete downtown heaven to distant old-friend places
only our memories will recognize such faces.
The art I could never replicate.
The artist I could never deface,
The mind I struggle to comprehend
The image I cannot erase.
I wait on an angel, a divine, undecipherable angel...

Solitude

Hey there, honest people
Stop living a lie today
Hey there, honest people
Stop erasing society

Like frozen air
Close off the lungs
Like crows who stare
Bite off your tongue
Unknown to most
Not near enough
We hurt the most
The ones we love

Hey there, honest people
Stop living a lie today
Hey there, honest people
Stop leading the wrong way

On rust stained fingers
On blood stained regrets
We will hold on 'til our memories forget
Our vanities
Our selfish needs
Oh please God, let me breathe
Please God, honestly

We try so hard
But work so slow
It falls apart
But now we know
Like evil smiles
We're double edged
Kind awhile
Then we poison

Hey there, honest people
Stop living a lie today
Hey there, honest people
Stop acting like zombies

On rust stained fingers
On blood stained regrets
We will hold on 'til our memories forget
Our vanities
Our selfish needs
Oh please God, let me breathe
Please God, honestly

You never know
What people are
Until they show
Their fallen stars
Like lone wolves
Destined to be
All alone
That's honesty

Please God
Honestly

(RKD)

Unspoken

If only to touch you

to gently trace your lips

to lightly caress you body

with my fingertips

if only to hear you

to listen to your voice

for you to call my name

by your own choice

if only to love you

up close rather than afar

to brighten the dark night

love shines brighter than a star

if only to reach you

to put the pieces in place

do you see how much i love you

when you look at my face

if only to be with you

to be in your embrace

knowing well be togetyher

for the rest of our days.

Hey, I'd like "Don't Tell Me It's Over."

I'd like waiting on an angel. Please and Thank You.

Don't Tell Me It's Over

I'm not hearing the
goodbye
that you swear is on your
lips.
Though I'm sure
it'll present itself
soon enough.

And when you wrap
your arms around me,
there's no sense
of finality.
Maybe you should learn
to break it off better.
If that's what you really want.

When your lips
touch down on mine,
there's no bittersweet
taste; no signs
that this will be the last time
we kiss.

So don't tell me goodbye
if you're going to stick around.
Don't tell me you're leaving
just to show up at my door.
And don't tell me it's over
if you can't follow through.
