Beauty in Wrath

In silence and confinement
resides his soul's merriment
upon the crescentic dunes
Where memories lay unsown

Balmy days and moonlit nights
watch falcons fly out of sight
while the waves of virgin sands
unfold the unknown at hand

Skyline's magic shade and hue
observing nights soaked with dew
be not the prophesied harms
but simple unstudied charms

Fifty years later...

Dressed up in brazen facades
of wrath amassed for decades
from cataclysmic bloodsheds,
and murders for mighty greed

Constant death with absent fear
Seeds of peace growing fainter
How many lives could be saved?
How many lies must you rave?

Grant this place an end to war
restore its legend and lore
we're the children of this zeal
our own land you shall not steal

Syllable counts: 7/7/7/7
Rhyme scheme: aabb, ccdd,eeff, and so on...

Ill try this one, this will be my first one I've ever done so I hope I do okay. I have nothing better to do but write poetry right now tell Jan anyway. I think I'll do Lust.

Okay here we go. I hope this is okay for the contest. As I said before, this is my first time doing one of these. I hope someone likes it.

"Monstrous Lust"

If you loved me,
Like you said you did,
Then why'd you strip me,
Of my innocence?

If I was precious,
The way I was,
Then why'd you scar me,
With your lustful claws?

If you promised,
It would be just one kiss,
Then why'd you stain my skin,
With all your wretchedness?

If I was so beautiful,
And all that you wanted,
Then why'd you leave me,
Now damaged and haunted?

If you weren't a monster,
Disguised as a sheep,
Then why'd you break me,
And leave me to weep?

If I was once a child,
She was left where I laid,
For he tore apart my soul,
And lust won that day,

Because no matter how hard,
I scrubbed my skin,
I was left tormented,
By one of the deadly sins,

I tried and I tried,
To wash it down the drain,
But there is no amount of soap, or forgetfulness,
To take away my pain,

So alas,
Lust,
Has won,
Once again.

Nice :) thank you ladies.

Keep them coming guys!!!

I have a poem called the seven deadly sins. could I use that. or does it have to be about one of them.

The poem has to be about one sin. Not all seven. Sorry dear

Well then

I did wrath. But from the point of view of someone who's being hurt by wrath :) If that makes any sense at all :P

Wrath Will Never Kill Me ~ Kimberley

Hit me, kick me, doesn't matter,
My soul's not going to shatter,
Beat me, bruise me, I don't care,
The pain won't always be there,
Shake me, break me, I'll be fine,
There's no chance I won't be mine,
Whack me, smack me, I'll say no,
I'll keep my rejection, it'll never go,
Hit me, kick me, I will not falter,
I'll fight you 'til your wrath halters,
Beat me, hate me,
Wrath will never break me,
Hurt me, still me,
Wrath will never kill me.

Okay so I also did lust (I've really got to start doing french during french instead of poetry :P) as well.

Lust Or Love ~ Kimberley

I saw you across the room,
And I couldn't stay away,
Something in you drew me,
And I regret it to this day.
I felt a pull and went with it,
When I should have run that instant.

We talked and you made me laugh,
(Always feeding the chemistry)
The air was thick with unknown tension,
You took my hand and danced with me.
I let you lead me onto the dance floor,
I let you lead me all the way to your door.

We didn't say a word, fell onto the bed,
I didn't know when things had progressed,
My mind was captured in a haze of lust,
I blinked and suddenly we were undressed.
I was in your arms, you were in mine,
I didn't feel it when we crossed the line.

Gave you my number and a steamy kiss,
You said I was the best you ever had,
Weeks went by and I thought of you,
No one word from you, I started feeling bad.
Now it's all I can ever think of,
The night I mistook lust for love.

it's a little PG but yeah :)

Lol thanks deary :) keep them coming guys

Shall Thee Expel Mercy?

O' Goddess of Jealousy,
must thee so heartily bequeath
thine eyes of flaming ice and frigid fire?

O' Mentor of Shadows,
must thee so cunningly seek
envy midst the aging wandering spirits?

O' Daughter of Thunder,
must thee so lustfully demand
extinction amongst all of thy fere's?

O' Creator of Wind,
must thee so forcefully strike
kindhearted judgement with thy mayhem?

O' Goddess of Jealousy,
release from thy wilting victims
the inclination to act resentfully.

Another long one... ;)

Glutton for Punishment.

We talked about this
since the longest time;
always creeping into
our thoughts -- a constant chime.

We're not afraid of it,
yet the craziness remains;
we're not escaping it,
our destiny, it reins.

Eleven years and counting
and our bond unbreakable,
we think of our future
the outrage unmistakable.

I've never had a sister
but what if something happened to you,
how would I react,
who would be my babu.

I think I may move on
too fast but I'd still thirst
your affection and presence --
what if the roles reversed.

You said you would change,
completely - anew.
Danger you would seek,
punishment the flu --

not contagious; just for you.
You'd give up and stop
caring, for you said I was
the most important -- stop!

Glutton for punishment
that would be your diagnosis;
you would've completely transformed,
but what about me, sis,

I think I may move on
too fast and I can't stand
that our memories may fade,
our love; our brand.

Because of me;
and you wouldn't ever
let that happen to us
you would let us live
forever with your trust.

Babu is like a form of endearment in hindi.
Often said to your child if used as a noun however if used as an adjective meaning beautiful, etc.

Yay :)

Loved that :)

One week left

Blind Lust

Words aren't often spoken.
cuz we both know,
by the graze of bare skin &
stumbling of trembling hands.
what we want.
clumsy kisses,
forgotten boundaries,
all such a blur
touchtastesmellsounds
clash together at a dangerous pace
we're running on this ultimate high
your to far gone to stop now.
you've become lost in the cloudy mist of emotions.
but still some how you manage to find your way to all the right spots.
there's no grace,
no control,
no regrets.
eyes meet briefly
nothing but a passing glance.
trails of kisses,
leading to muffled moans.
gentle bites,
turn into forceful lunges.
soft caresses,
traded for pleas of more.
silence has never been so...
l o u d.
