Okay I'll stop it. Here is my poem! ;P

Sweet Lullabies

Since you, I and the sound of rain
were the rise of an
emerald morning, the sky started to fall off the
edges of a nonchalant God
to paint a haiku in our kiss.

Lonely moons; our hearts decided to
unbosom. I grew up to believe that you are a
lyrical, queer creature-
lost between Autumn
and the hugs of a mother who's never
been to my daydreams.
I never harked to a lullaby, I never
even slumbered in my life without the
sounds of you dying again.

--

Tada!

Saccharine, as if honey dripped from her lips,
While her babe lay wreary from the day;
Enunciating fictional stories of heroes,
Entering battles, rescuing the damsel.
Tales of lore before sleep takes it course,
Lulling the young down the path of slumber.
Under the security of her blankets,
Love from a mother drifts in the air,
Like the scent from a lit candle in the night.
Ambrosial words drift off the mother's lips;
Beauty in the words, beauty in the imagination
Insistent,eyes close, flying to the castle in the air.
Entering her dreams, she hears her mother speak.
Sacharrine, as if honey dripped from her lips.

Everyone is doing an excellent job. Inspirations came quick. lol These are very good. Keep them coming. :)

She has always blossomed like the rose of Juliet,
waiting for the night echoes to love her once more and
endlessly approach her lips, with the sound of music.
each lullaby her children sought is here
tonight- and there is no regret when she dreams.

Losing sleep over dancing with the wind,
uttering no more than whispers to keep the
lucid touch of his name, the silk beauty none but her see.
laying across dew of dawn and memory's feel
at the mouth of sunshine- she will not let day end
by running on oily breaths like a tear stained painting.
it's never too late to call upon him and wish
eloquence to live on through him- where
she will sing and dance with her beloved, forever.

My attempt:

Sin painted a
Wilting flower in your eyes,
Echoing
Everything you did
To her.

Last season will never be forgotten.
Utter all your pray'rs-
Loudly scream;
Level your voice with the stars
And still, you will never
Be forgiven; you will never be heard.
I'll never hear your lullaby
Even if the sun stops rising; please, just
Stop trying...

Wow! That was really good. @ moonlit candles, I'm still trying to come up with something. Lol

Here is my attempt

Sweet lullabies

Sing me ethereal dreams
Whenever I go to sleep,
Empyrean cherubim,
Enchant my reveries and
Torture all immortal sins.

Light up your celestial wings,
Unwind the heavens on me
Let the rainbow be my soul,
Legendary seraphim,
Armor my bare heart with love
Before and after a fall
Ignite my somber days with
Empyreal hopes, but don't
Set asunder my free will.

MarryAnne's one is the best. Announce the winner already, MC.

Great job everyone. Your doing a wonderful job. If needed please pm me and let me know if you need more time. I can extend the date a little longer. Lovely work.

Sweet Lullabies

Drifting to sleep,
I eagerly close my eyes,
All thanks to my love's
Sweet lullabies.

The thought of my love,
His beautiful voice slipping between his lips,
Always gives me peaceful rest,
As I see an angel behind my closed lids.

His voice like none else,
His blonde hair and blue eyes,
Bring me sweet rest,
These are my sweet lullabies.

Even more than all of this,
His love forever promised.
Ever the sweetest lullaby,
He is my eternal bliss.

I will let that slide but this contest involves acrostic writing style. :)

Here is my attempt. :p

Serenate me with your song
Whisper it quietly into my ear
Every word my anticipation lingers
Enticing me into joining the melody
Tuning out everything except you and me

Lasting memories our melody will create
Undescribable feelings it illuminates
Lovely notes we both desire to share
Listening to our hearts without a care
Abounding with joy the both of us are
Belief in our song will take us far
Igniting a light to our path together
Each waking moment we'll cherish forever
Such a sweet lullaby we've given to each other.

Okay everyone. I will be looking things over throughout the day. Submissions must be by 6pm. And I will announce the winner around 8pm. Thank you everyone for your fantastic and intricate works. Wonderful jobs. :)

Well I have to say everyone done an amazing job. All the poems were well written. A round of applause for everyone. But unfortunately I have to choose one. The one I liked best is.....
