So Judgemental ~ Kimberley

Tell me why do you have to be so,
So damn judmental?
If you had asked for it, you know,
I would have given you the world.
So don't sit there and point fingers,
Don't you critisize,
And don't you dare try to lie to me,
Because I see the truth in your eyes.
Today I learned my worst nightmare,
It's your sweetest dream,
And secrectly you're laughing at me,
While I'm just trying not to scream.
And you just said that you're always,
Wishing I'd just die,
I guess it's all about honesty right now,
So secretly I always wanna see you cry.
Tell me why do you have to be so,
So damn judmental?
And why can't you just believe me,
I really did spend days waiting for your call.

So that's it. :) P.S. I absolutley LOVE this song. I'm glad you had it as part of the contest.

The scene is dead plz

Great Job, Autumn Breeze. (:

6 more places left. (:

The Scene Is Dead

Blood stains on the ground
The nightingale makes no sound
Nature weeps the loss of its own
Her cold heart turns to stone

Scenery painted no more
Beauty has only death in store
Be still tonight, my nightingale
For our lives are so frail

No pack to bury my loved ones
Alive only in my fictions
In the end, you are always here
I remember you with a lonely tear

My World

Held up so high
not even air reaches his lips.
Blushed but not bruised.
Red but still pale.
A natural beauty to behold

Such a rare phenomenon
that I hold so close to my being.
Reflected upon bold waters
lies the face of this boy
One look and worlds collide
just one... is all it takes.

I looked once--
my world has never been the same.

His face outlines the simple
dreams I have. Flashbacks from
past views create such
promising memories for
my mind. He smiles and
that's enough to make
me snatch the heart
from my chest
wrap it with eternal love
for him to keep.
The brightness cascading
fom his perfect smile
would take the place of my
beating heart.

Our love is a special one
not even death can break the
bond we have, There is
no heaven or hell. Evil or good.
Just me and him. Him and me.
Today, tomorrow, forever.

I spent so many arctic nights
locked inside myself, afraid to live,
to love, to exist. Until he said
"roll down your window
the world's out there."
Such a meaningless statement
at the time. A blank verse--
now harmony has formed
and profoundness has surfaced.

I understand the meaning of
"the world's out there"
now that I have him, I see the world.
I have the world. My window will
never stay rolled up now.

Concealed Madness.

Somewhere over the rainbow --

Unbelievable
how they twist reality,
allowing us to succumb
into this fictitious mind frame.

Breathtaking,
that simple phrase assumed
for the sake of concealment;
forever reminding these humans
of the illusion we cannot live in.

Somewhere over the rainbow --

Astounding
how in this world
trouble really does melt
like lemon drops as we try
to rid of reality with our drugs.

Crazy
how I see no pot o' gold or
leprechauns dancing by
my feet as I beg to escape
this madness.

Just a few more guys! Keep up the great work. (:

Wow. I was listening to that song by the Beatles when I wrote this poem. And i just happened to use that exact phrase. So I guess i'll enter it lol. Here it is:

One Last Goodbye

I'm finished. I'm done. I have nothing left to give.
I cant sleep. Cant eat. I've lost my will to live.
They say talk is cheap, so I bought every word she said.
All the promises she made, just turned out lies instead.
Forever and for Always, that's what I always told her.
But I find myself alone as these winter nights grow colder.
I tried to move on, time and time again.
But her sweet seduction continually drew me in.
Exactly how she felt, I never really knew.
I thought I read the signs, I guess they just weren't true.
I loved her so much, even more than I can say,
But to her, Love was such an easy game to play.
I know I've said goodbye, a couple times before.
But I have to say, I have just one more.
It wont be a letter, nor a poem made of prose.
My last goodbye, will be a single tear-stained rose.
A beautiful white rose, It's what she'll always be.
A symbol of my love, and what she meant to me.

C'mon people.
Ain't nice to keep the others waiting. ;)

I'll enter, but first a question: is it one person per song? Or can we write a poem on something that somebody else has already done?

EDIT: nevermind, I just saw the "taken" next to some of them.

I'll take "Girl With One Eye" - Florence and the Machine. :)

Tainted
by dollwithafrown

Woke up one day; just didn't feel the same,
coal on my shoulders mixed with buckets of pain,
for the first time in my life, yellow didn't look so pretty
vodka doesn't stain, y'know; let's get drunk in this city.

Woke up next to a smoky breath looker,
on my chest, lipstick paints the word: "hooker",
reflecting in the mirror, it's hard not to hurt;
my reputation's getting clouded with dirt.

Making a vow to sort myself out,
sure I can do it, no room for self-doubt,
but stories don't end the way you want them to;
you can wish on a star but it won't come true.

It's a Wednesday night, everyone is in bed,
but I head into town; rather party instead,
paint my lips rosy, blush my cheeks pink,
and can't forget the powder lying by the sink.

--

The night is ending badly, how do I get home?
I decide to walk the streets, this city I will roam,
but nothing is familiar, I don't know anything I see,
everything is blemished and ruined, everything and me.

I am doing "love is a time machine", if that is alright.

I almost have it done, thanks!

EDIT: I am just thinking of a title and editting, I have it done though..

An Action of Salvation

Love is a time machine
that entangles around your mind
bringing the past into full view;
when golden sunflowers sang
and we would dance swiftly upon
their silk and able shoulders.

I remember the winter nights
that never extinguished our passion
though cold winds raged on;
darkness didn't dare enter
for our two souls combined
ignited into blissful ecstasy.

Love is a time machine
that chokes your will to live
showing you the formidable future;
where dead roses dwindle
and death is heard everywhere
calling out your names.

I see happiness drifting
into piles of empty promises
that never acquired value;
dissatisfaction develops
and clogs our mute throats
warning us of the inevitable.

Love is a time machine
that reveals provocative secrets
for the better or for the worse;
don't let this gift be wasted
by deceiving and coveting
forgive and live in present times.

Written For A Contest.

I have been wanting to write a poem about this for a long time, at first people say that love is an emotion when indeed it is not. Love is an action, doing what is best for your beloved. I also wanted to convey the message that although at first your past might be haunting and your future look cloudy, have hope, stay strong and practice forgiveness. Thank you for taking the time to read, I hope you have enjoyed this piece.

I'll try to join. But I cant guarantee it, since I'm really busy at this time. But if I do enter, I think I'd like to do number 1) The Beatles. I'll try to get one in if I can and hopefully soon.

I'm assuming that this contest has ended as no one has repsponded in months and the winner has yet to be chosen...
so do we have a winner?

... I guess she did.

Sorry it took sooooosooo long.

Lady Nik - 1st place.
Awing Ashes - 2nd.
