Quiet on a River Front
AND
Sweet Desire.

(:

Quiet on a River Front.

Anguish screaming " let me out",
holding in semi-trucks of doubt.
Let me free, then let me be.
With words of wisdom lost at sea.

Cherished hearts no longer live,
forgotten hearts, no longer give.
Shiners and lips so oversized,
make it hard to see what's realized.

Nothing to explain harsh reality,
it's like your forte, " set me free",
but words can't dull the pain,
they only drive you so insane.

Quiet on a River Front,
seems so lost, all too blunt.
Raised to believe a certain way,
means " set me free" is all you say.

**

Sweet Desire

Sweet Desire, hold me in.
Sweet Desire, forward my sin;
hold me back from this world,
save my life, save my soul.

Sweet Desire, raise the sky.
Sweet Desire, tell me why;
raise my tears for answers above,
count my fears, count my fears
- then set me free.

Sweet Desire, clamp my skin.
Sweet Desire, scorch me within;
make me want this world and more,
save my life, save my soul.

Sweet Desire, stop the pain.
Sweet Desire, refine the vain;
stop the pain to keep me strong,
count my fears, count my fears
- then set me free.

In the rules it states 2 titles per poet. Is that maximum or must take? I only see one title I would like, if it is maximum of 2 per poet, can I reserve "Dying To Feel Again" please.

If it is that each poet must take 2 titles cancel my reserve please.

~Pete.

Dying To Feel Again

Tears pooling...pooling in those aqua coloured eyes...

And it's ironic...so ironic that you can cry but you find it so hard to feel
Each and every day has now just become a gesture of try fail and repeat
Obviously this life was meant for someone better, someone who isn't you
Close your tired eyes darling, maybe you should finally take your bow

No don't want to give up just yet? Then time to rise, day is approaching
Make a move, it's time for that irritating task of try and fail, over and over
Oh isn't it a shame no-one knows, if they did they might be able to help
But don't wish for that darling, for you know that you're all alone now

And the tears keep on running...messing up those pretty eyes...

Take a look around, what are you so determined to keep fighting for?
Do you truthfully really believe that anyone even gives a damn anymore?
Didn't think so honey, tired of watching you try and fail, try and fail
Don't know who you are, if you don't recognize yourself, how can they?

It's getting old, now like a broken record; how terribly cliche of you
Let's do it again, seems you're trying hard to win but you always fail
Remember those years way back, mummy's hugs fixed everything?
When things seemed so simple, believed fairy tales really did come true?

It's not so simple anymore, when did your world become so harsh?
Funny how tears run down your face yet you're completely numb inside
There's too much to handle now, if only you could be five years old again
When you laughed, smiled, giggled, cried...when you truly felt something

Close your tired eyes darling, maybe you should finally take your bow

Into the Sea please and thank you

Into the Sea

by DragonRebornedInBrokenMirror

Dreadful is my hollow utopia
and it cries on my shoulders,
wetting my shoes somehow.
Confusion follows imagination
falling from my pathetic eyes
on my ghostlike soul.

Canards go into the sea
and his misery belongs to me
when the canards go,
oh, when the canards go
into the sea.

My life is ruined under the bricks
of this burning proportions
- I'm drowning within pools of half blood
shedding poisons,
after all, she is my {PRINCE}.
This gong ain't a piano anymore, darling.

Canards go into the sea
and his misery belongs to me
when the canards go,
oh, when the canards go
into the sea.

Can I have: it would be so simple?
thanx

xx

It Would Be So Simple.

It would be so simple
To tell you to your face
It would be so simple
to say you're a disgrace

It would be so simple
to tell you to forget it
It would be so simple
To say you would regret it

It would be so simple
To tell you "I told you so!"
It would be so simple
To say not do it though

Loneliness regiens... i want to do that one. my style will be rhyming.

Life alone

Waking up to this life alone
a sad story so many times told
without a lover without a care
but you wish you had a love there
taking a hot shower but cold inside
waiting for your baby to enter but no one comes by
getting dress was the good part
she always took it off later
now its just a burden to yourself
missing your baby who always played the host
now you turn and kiss the air goodbye
forgetting she not there and apart of you dies
you continue on the whole day just going for the ride
get home hoping to change the tides
you listen to your messages no one has left
missing the voice that your warm heart felt
getting ready for bed is next in line
go to your room no woman to find
under your covers you lie at night
and wait til the sun shed light
only to relive this dreadful life all over again
till something or someone brings change

-Living to Die, Dying to Live-

Without a voice the preditor aproaches.
Naturally, the high continues to raise.
Giggly, giggly, giggly; He laughs her humor.

Closer it comes; the preditor lingers.
Naturally, the high continues to raise.
Unintentionally, yet expectingly...the fall.
Reaching out, the preditor attacks.
Naturally, the victim falls.
Confessing confessions so secret.

The preditor's venom brings her down.
Naturally, she calls for help.
Circling, circling, spiralling out of reach.
Abruptivly the preditor in sucessful.
Naturally, the victim falls.
Still alive, but weaker for the next attack.

Living to Die, Dying to Live

She swallowed bitter shards of electric sensations,
elected manipulations etched within burning veins,
gliding digits painted across passionate cadences-
she'll have to rearrange this crusade, a battle
designed to distress already mutilated consolation.

Devotions cut heart, piercing its bleeding surface,
ornamenting emotions with ecliptic addictions.
These dualities mark crossroads of sacred scars
replaying hymns of remarkable yet lacerated misery.
Intertwined sentiments suffocate distant whispers.

Quiet on a River Front

I close my eyes and drift away starting to think of u,
Going to a place i don't often get to.

Far from where i really am
I float into a calm quiet

A little voice inside my head
says let it go don't fight it

A tiny thin smile gradually grows onto my face
beginning to enjoy the peacefulness why let it go to wast

The smell of rain and distant sound of water drops swiftly comes to mind
Going back to the simpleness to which we all are bind

Letting the past vanish as it simply disappears
floating far away from all of it, getting rid of all my fears

The weightlessness i feel as i go deeper i start to feel my best
a tickling sweet sensation as laughter fills my chest

Surrendering to the openness giving in to what i feel
knowing that in the end nothing matters this is what is real

shedding all the layers that clutter up my soul
breathing in the beauty as i strive to become whole

starting to realize that everything has a meaning
as my conciseness struggles and slightly starts leaving

i don't know how long its been since i haven't made a peep
going to my peacefully place Ive drifted off to sleep

Into the Sea

A silhouette against the horizon,
Black against a screen of blood red,
Bare feet on the sand,
Broken heart in her hand,
Shattered by words left unsaid.

Once a princess surrounded by glory,
On the edge of a cliff she just stands,
Now fallen from grace,
As her hair whips her face,
She says her goodbyes to the land.

Gulls up above her are screeching,
Daring her to take the big jump,
She looks down at the waves,
To her watery grave,
And her heart begins failing to thump.

Feeling her life force ebbing away,
Her will to live is now diminished,
How did she get here?
What went so wrong?
She gets ready for her big finish.

Nothing can stop her she's made up her mind,
Though this is not a path that she chose,
Over the edge,
She falls off her ledge,
And into the sea she goes.

Sweet Desires

She strolls serenely along the peaceful and striking shore
Beautiful sounds of the tranquil waves linger in her ear
While gently crashing against the ragged rocks of the sea
The crisp, fresh air delights her nose tickling with pleasure
While the refreshing ocean water softly kiss her bare feet
She blissfully smiles at the view of such sparkling scenery

Joyful eyes gleam with sweet delight as she reminisces
Of his genuinely warm touch and comforting words
Mind filled with satisfied promises and innocent desires
Forever longing to intertwine her delicate fingers with his
To feel the kindness of true love seep through his heart
She yearns for his voice while remembering his smile

Those eyes captured her when they first crossed paths
Attempting to erase thoughts consumed by his image
Each echo of a distant love song triggered memories
Tattered notes remained in her old shoe box of sentiments
His strong yet sweet voice effortlessly entered her heart
Finally she surrendered; their souls were meant to merge

Although his love is no longer visible, she still radiates
The warm tears silently travel down her soft cheeks
Yet she pays them no attention while gazing beyond
The lovely ocean seems to effortlessly call out for her
Feet remain planted in the sand ... her eyes mesmerized
The infinite magic of the sea slowly fills the void he left

As she turns to gradually leave this divinely stunning scene
Her sweet desires remain whispered in the summers breeze

Falling into Your Arms Again

Confusion whispers to jagged senses
embedding into paragraphs of chain catastrophes;
waking up to the effigy of wine
breaks crystal spirit of self-created illusion.

I can't find your face
nor shards of distant voice;
memories play out of tune
within my heart's glassy tomb.

Cravings morph into devotion...
oh, so engulfing sight-
watching the seconds as they pass by
colored with blood of fallen angels.

Serenity detune inner harps
carving lust into broken halo-
New visions are sinking to dance,
dancing to sink
inside of imagined picture.

Falling Into Your Arms ... Again.
by AblissfulDREAMER

"Once burned; twice shy" echoes the lyrics in her mind
Appealing grin spreads across her lips as she reminisces
Vacant significance behind such sympathetic expression
Young girl stung by passionate love by an innocent heart
Since that entrancing moment thoughts remain occupied
Eyes pierced in her memory; passion engraved in her heart

Friend's wise words softly linger ... "If you can't get him
Out of your head ... maybe they're meant to be there"
Four erratically blissful years filled with sweet daydreams
Falling for his charming words and masculine physique
His image established a dwelling in her desiring heart
Not a soul comes even close to the happiness he instills

"He makes me melt like a popsicle on the 4th of July,"
Resonates the line from a childhood beloved movie
The utter infatuation he triggers with a simple smile
Blows even cynical pessimists away with sheer surprise
Innocent love flourished softly in her affectionate heart
Clasping frantically to blissful emotions; she will not set free

"Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about,"
Dream boy, can you blame my heart for falling into your arms again?
