So, Impress me and Post AWAY!

Against the Wall
By:Amanda Bee

I sit on this cold sidewalk
With my back against the wall
As people pass me by
They hardly look at me at all

I stick out my right hand
And I quietly plead
Praying someone will take the time
To help a poor man in need

Some people give me a few dollars
While others pitch me a nickel or dime
Some people have nothing to offer
Because I'm not even worth their time

My very presence seems to offend them
I’m just another pathetic being
Another miserable, lazy loser
Is what I am; is what they’re seeing

I never would have thought
That I would end up sitting here
What happened to my dreams?
A house? A family? A career?

While on the road of life
Some where I’ve taken a wrong path
Now I’m lost and terrified
Completely consumed in this angry wrath

So now I try to come up with a plan
For my social restitution
To rejoin society's ranks
And put an end to this destitution

I've reached a point of desperation
Enough to lie, to cheat, to steal
As my hunger pains increase and
I don't know where to find my next meal

Something has to give because
This is not the way it’s supposed to be
I’m frantically looking for an answer
A solution to this life of poverty

I doubt I’ll make it out
In fact, I hold little hope at all
As I sit on this cold sidewalk
With my back against the wall

The Elegy of the Lovers
by HansRik

I cannot say in words how much I've loved
For words help not t'express the lover's wish.
Canst thou not see the pain of being unloved?
Or more the languid dolence we anguish?

Now I have lost yon opportunity,
The fire of love has burned this heart of mine
Crying, waning, yonder atrocities
Committed for love, for this thought of thine.

But I shall make myself an oak that stands
Upon thy doors and howls thy name fore'er.
And nevermore this pain will understand,
The love I have for thee, my dear girl.

The hills that sing and dream about thy love
Think not that they shall be eroded, yea,
The willows chant their elegy forgone,
And rot in fetid, rancid ideals.

And walkest thou in vainest thoughts and lies,
Laughing at the trees and hills that, for you, died.
Waiting for mine heart to expire its last sighs.

How beautiful thou seem'st outside,
The sun is but a phantom by thy side.

But nay!

Thy soul is cruel and cold, like the darkest night.

Silent tears fall like black crystals
Rushing from the depths of polar eyes
Blood of deep purple glistens in puddles
Caused by the sorrows of navy skys

Shadow's desire to pull us down,
Consuming all noise that befalls.
A young maiden lies cold in frown,
Buried in Silence as the wolf calls...

The Reflecting of knives burn within;
Peircing a soul that will never rest.
Agony and strife forced her to give in
She says she's sorry, she shall'nt pass this test...

The demons now seek for purness,
She was not enough to please,
Hysterical laughter fills the darkness,
And will never think to seize.

Clock ticks by, far too slowly:
The waiting are restless for fear.
As the fiery angels hover cruelly
Awaiting to prowl the earth by spear

Cumbersome innocence is they're target,
With the crows by their side
Maybe occasionaly a dark poet;
Writing with far too much pride.

For you, my friend...
by ~Łost ₣airy~

Then again I feel so lonely,
Cause you're not by my side,
Talking and joking with me,
Although you're so annoying.

You're not the one I love,
Neither am I the one you love,
But I miss you so much,
For I'm not used of being alone.

You stay with me when I frown,
When it's you the one who has drown,
Into the world of love and hurt,
And get yourself covered up in dirt.

I can't stand seeing you being a fool,
Trying to deceive yourself that she loves you,
And keeps telling her you love her,
Is only making her feel nauseous of you.

I never see you like what others see,
That you're black and different from us,
I see a guy who's great at writing poems,
But never do get compliments but insults.

I want to be the one,
That you can tell everything,
And show me all your poems,
So that I can tell you what I think.

Nobody understands me,
As well as you does,
You don't have to wait for me to speak,
You always listen from your heart.

I don't know how you did it,
But you can read my mind,
You seem to know the right time,
To joke around or gives me advice.

You had been a great friend,
A big brother as well,
Always there to protect me,
From all those jerks in school.

I know you suffer a great deal,
In school and at home,
I wish I can help you,
Like how you've help me.

The reason I'm able to go through this,
Is all because of a friend like you,
So I hope I can help you too,
To drive away your misery and pain.

I know you can hear what I'm saying,
So promise me you'll continue to live,
Or I won't be happy the way I am now,
And please don't forget that I love you too.

I know it's kinda long...but it means a lot to me...

I want a Girl!!!

I want a girl, who’s confident and strong,
A woman who knows she just has it going on,
One with Beauty, Grace, Style, and Personality,
A Bewitching woman, who absolutely, Enthralls me,
A woman of Charm, Charisma, Intellect, and Substance,
A Beautiful Angel, sent down, from heaven,
A Goddess, of incredible lure,
Overflowing, Beauty, from her every pore,
A Breath-taking woman, who Befuddles and Beguiles,
Full of Fervor, Fancy, and Feminine wiles,
A Rapturous, Witching Wonder,
A woman, who’s Spell I can’t resist being under,
A woman, of Class, Sophistication, and Elegance, Genteel,
With such a pleasant temperament, she just seems, surreal,
A woman, who defines irresistible,
A Beautiful woman, who Extols, my Soul,
And gives my stomach Butterflies,
One I can fall for, each time I look in her eyes,
And yes, those eyes, they’d be, beautiful,
A sea, of serenity, I couldn’t wait to fall, into,
Time after time after time.
No doubt about it, she’d be, a beauty, Divine,
Her Face, most perfect, aesthetically,
Her facial features, all, in symmetry,
She’d have, a Smile, Radiant and Lovely,
With neither too small nor large, straight, white teeth.
Her Nose, would be, dainty and delicate, subtle, in its décor,
Aesthetically pleasing, in its every contour.
Her Lips, they’d be, Soft, Lush, Luscious, and Full,
Sensuously Appealing and All So Kissable.
She’d have, Milky, Silky, Soft, Smooth skin,
With a complexion, of a, most, lovely tint,
Her Hair, like the finest, of woven silk,
Like a magic plant that never seems to wilt,
Her Body, it’d be, Stunningly Statuesque,
With a Body, Beautiful, she would be Blessed.
She’d be, attractively well-proportioned, slim, toned, and fit,
With a shapelier built, in her leg, buttocks, thighs, and hips.
She’d be, Coquettish, Coy, and somewhat Narcissistic.
Playfully Flirtatious and Alluringly Seductive,
Vivacious, Vibrant, and all so Venerable,
Everything about her, simply, remarkable,
Mind, Body, and Soul.
She’d be, the quintessential woman, in all of its roles,
Enchanting, in all, of her essence,
A woman, of Splendor, an Angel, from heaven!!!

Keep on going guys! I'm reading EVERYTHING and ANYTHING!

Static Disembodiment..

Not many are able to stand still and watch as change decays their beloved portrait of a moment, but the select few seldom withstand the energy displaced, and fall, twisting and gripping.. those who turn their backs - denying the crippling, disfiguring phenomenon of similarities that wither away - these are the ones framed in wrought iron, wielding deflections and self-promises - all in vain, for superficial self-contentment.

those who face the music head-on, music blasting, and only wince - these are the true soldiers. for in every sigh, every tick of their eye - within every unshrouded thought, there awakens a dormant suffering,.. the longing that not only accompanies you, but stays too long and never wants to leave.

if one were to change the ebb and flow of time, were they to eliminate what is so frighteningly real and true - change - and infuse the void of longing with the deep, rich fulfillment of what's needed, moments could never last. time would be the embodiment of ephemeral, and gravity would reverse. happiness would invert to a secular moment of perpetual discontent, loathed by those same who wanted the change.

what's proposed, a static utopia, where euphoria exists between, is nothing but a dream. some could even call it a nightmare... what do you do when you want to change but fear changing will freeze a moment in dysphoria?

what do you do when you cant slip between the cracks of beaten cement that cascade your life's walkway,
when you're unable to surround yourself with the blanket of blissful ignorance, blindness, and indifference?

Plagued with Sin

Plagued with Sin
In the most hollow hour
As light falls
And dark rises
Shunned by life
And death alike
Stuck in limbo
For all of time
Groping endlessly
But nothing to touch
Nothing to love
Too much
As endless encounters
Make you weary
And fake happiness
Makes you cry
But you can't leave
If your position is the morbid sinner
So just sit around
For the show
Bow low as we cut off your head
And blood pipes from your neck
Yet you are not dead
This is the vision of limbo
Not dead nor alive
And still crying out for mercy or choice
Plagued as a sinner
In a longward strife

Let me hold you....

Let me hold you one more time before you go to sleep,
Let me rock and tuck you in gently while i tell you of little Bo peep.

Let me twirl your golden brown curls,
While you get hypnotized in your own little world.

Let me love and embrace you from the day,
nothing could ever get in the way.

Let me have just another moment to rub your ears, count your fingers and toes,
I won't ever let this moment go.

My heart was blessed with wings to wrap around your tiny little soul,
Mommy will be here waiting for her turn up to heaven is where you go.

Now I play patty cake to the sky,
I pretend the stars looking down at me are your eyes.

The cool breeze is you soft touch,
Oh my dear little one how I Love You so much.

The warm sun is your bright smile,
I can still hear the echo of your giggles for miles.

The moon is how you say I LOVE YOU and kiss me goodnight,
I gaze at the stars one last time before i turn out the light.

Its time your rest and go to sleep, mommy just wanted to hold you one last time before you count your sheep.

(this poem is of a mothers lost)

Christina Chavez© Copyright 2005

This is more a grim and dark poem, nevertheless, I felt pain and wrote about it.

You Lied

If you really loved me you'd;

Let me take this razor
And bleed my pain away
Let me release the agony
From the hell I've had to pay
let my body eternally rest
And wake up nevermore
Make me realize life just hurts
And it's not worth living for
Let the blood just drip
Do not wipe the tears I cry
Watch the blade as it cuts
Just let me slowly die
Do not clean my wounds
Nor dry my blood at all
If you loved me, you'd stand there
And watch me slowly fall
Listen to the pain I'm in
Just watch my body bleed
Do not try to pull me in
This death is what I need
Listen to the sound my tears make
As they fall onto the ground
Watch my lifeless body
As I slowly start to drown
Instead, I know you never loved me
Like I loved you in vain
because if you did, you'd have kept your promise
"To not cause me any pain"

"Last First Kiss"

Never in my life,
Had I felt as good as this
it was a love short lived,
What ill forever miss.

For a moment in time
The world had stopped moving
I was caught in the best
What then, was I proving?

It was all so cliche,
How fast he had my heart,
But things dont last forever
How soon, it was torn apart.

I just dont understand what happened
It seemed so perfect, or so I thought,
We kissed that night ,
It just seemed so right,
To me, it really meant a lot.

After that night, I waited so long
To hear his voice once more,
But he avoided me, and forgot I could feel
It was his last walk out of my door.

When we used to hang out,
Hed tell me how shy I would be
And to just say what I was feeling inside
But its not me, its him
That needs to grow up and see
That his silence just makes me cry

I just want him to say, why he left me this way
Without a single word of goodbye
His truthful words would of caused hurt feelings
But his silence hurts more than a lie.

I just long for the day to see him again
To show him the hurt hes endured to my soul
To make him realize, what hes done to my heart
The piece ill never get back, which he stole.

When I see him around I Hope he realizes
He lost the best thing he could have had,
But I want him so much,
despite how he broke my heart,
for eternity, ill forever be sad.

But I wont say a word
I will just let him slip away
What I thought I had, I have lost
Hes gone from my life,
Its something Ill forever miss
Ill always remember him.
And our Last, first kiss.

I cry every night
I live in fright
What if he comes in my room again
I can't act like this is pretend
He hurt me so bad
It seems as though I can never be glad
He took my life away
Now I have to live in grief everyday
I was only fourteen
How could you be so mean
You raped me
Are you happy
Now all I can be is sappy
I feel as though I can't anymore
You destroyed my life hardcore
I hope you know what you have done
How could this be fun?
You sick minded freak
Thanks to you i can barely speak
I only have one choice to heal the pain
The pain that hurts so much that I can't even explain
Well good-bye mom
Good-bye dad
Good-bye sis
Please don't be sad
This is for the better
That is why I'm writing you this letter
Every word of this feeling is true
All I can say now is that...
I love you

The Lie That Swallows The Tainted Truth

A darkened shadow over the door,
The shadow soars forevermore.

A broken promise lies inside,
The second end was never tied.

A rose began to wither away,
For a heart that was led astray.

An undying truth,
Wanes the dieing youth.

The lie that hides in the dark,
It mysteriously leaves its mark

Upon the puppets that dance,
Forced by the strings of chance.

The loathsome voice inside her head,
It leaves her lips with nothing said.

Her wings of gold are as a shield,
Protecting her from the darkness.

But her wings are burnt and shimmer little,
She fears the day that the last feather falls from her wings.

The taint within her is generally mild,
But it steadily grows in the form of a child.

The harm brought upon this angel
Keeps her once bold self fragile.

When looked upon she turns away,
Her eyes of sadness show the way.

of course its accepted, i said, you can write ANYTHING for this contest.

CHILDREN NEED OUR LOVE

Children are a special gift
from The Lord above
He's trusted us to care for them
and shelter them with love
we need to hug them
and tell them we love them
each and every day
let them know we're there for them
and listen to what they say
We need to make time for them
maybe put them before something else
What do parents think now days?
That children can raise themselves?
What could be more important
than raising our children right
what we instill in them right now
will remain with them for life.
so many children are reaching out
just longing to be loved
while their parents are out partying
or somewhere strung out on drugs
I can't explain how my heart breaks
when I hear these children's prayers
all they want is their parents love
they need to know they care
Parents please love your children
and make time for them each day
Don't leave any room for regrets
when they are grown and gone away.

I'm Tired
by †Anthony†

This anger needs to be released,
This is all I know how to do,
The screaming inside my head,
Here for everyone to see.
I'm tired of the tears!
Too many seen and shed for my lifetime,
16 years on a planet,
And your tears could fill a lake.
I'm tired the pain!
Everyday filled with aching memories,
Everyday, longing to die.
Giving up, no longer trying.
I'm tired of feeling!
Wishing, Praying, Hoping, Longing,
Just to go numb and forget,
Just to be free of these chains.
I'm alone, and I'm scared,
I'm hurt, and I'm weak,
I'm still crying, and there's
Still no one to hug me.
No one can break my heart anymore.
It's in pieces too small to divide.
I'm tired of being afraid,
Afraid to be alone,
Afraid to live,
Afraid to die,
Afraid to say "I love you"
I'm tired of feeling like I don't belong,
But still, these feelings are trapped,
Trapped inside me.
No matter how much I write,
They won't go away.
For the first time I wish...
Someone would stay,
And I can lie in their arms,
And feel... Like I'm safe.

Sorry I'm late guys- this contest is CLOSED
