New poetry contest

There is a blank page,
staring at me,
a blanck page with no words or pictures,
i have lost my opnly talent,
the words will not come,
the picture hides.

i could write so well,
my pictures showed feeling,
i could do a million things,
just with pen and paper,
but now the page is blank.

i need to forget my sorrows,
remember my joy,
do somehting to get it back,
i need my insperation,
it is the only thing keeping me safe.

without it i am nothing,
the words are my feelings,
the pictures my soul,
and i will search for them,
till they are back inside my heart.

i have lost my hope,
and i realsise this,
as the page stares up at me,
the page that is free of colour,
the blank page!

Addiction To Love

Shes Longing To Sink Into His Eyes
She Wants To Feel Comfort If She Cries
She Wants To Be Shield From All The Noise
Just By Means Of His Gentle Voice.

Shes Longing To Stroke Through His Hair
She Wants To Give All She Could Share
She Wants To Be Touched On Her Skin
As A Sign Of All The Hopes They Pin.

Shes Longing To Warm Up In His Arms
She Wants To Be Spared All The Harms
She Wants That He Cannot Get Enough
Because She Is Addicted To His Love.

Addressed To You, The Rich Man

by Matters

Dear to you, the rich man,
You know the truth I speak,
And when I die tonight,
You’ll see my tear bathed cheek.

I much loved you, the rich man,
And you knew it all along,
Affairs would come, friendship go,
As I’d hum to you a song.

My love was you, the rich man,
The song was sung of bliss,
We took our old time ritual,
And ended with a kiss.

I was caught by you, the rich man,
On your net of high emotions,
Yet little did I know,
I was the temporary ocean.

The times with you, the rich man,
Were ones I’d never trade,
But after all the memories,
Our love began to fade.

You said, “I am, the rich man,”
And I knew I had to go,
Eventually, you killed me,
The fault of death, you know.

I belonged to him, the rich man,
Just the poor girl on the right,
Disposable, again,
You extinguished love so bright.

So here’s to you, the rich man,
Of my secret suicide,
When you think of me, please know,
You’re the reason that I died.

(I'm not a girl, but this is through the perspective of one, f.y.i.)

(It's also 32 lines--I hope that doesn't matter)

here's my poem...i hope you like it.

Silent Suffering

Silently screaming
Nobody hears
Falling down my cheeks
Are unseen tears
I need your help
Nobody cares
This silent suffering
Is getting to be more than I can bear
Please help me now
Get rid of my fears
Please help me now
Sort through this despair
I may as well give it up
I've got nowhere to turn from here
I'm empty inside
And nobody knows or cares
Just go away now
Whether your here doesn't matter
This silent suffering has come again
And will remain here forever

You guys are doing great so far . I'm really enjoying reading all of your work . It's almost to hard to decide . Keep up the good work .

THE EMPIRE OF DARKNESS
***********************
LIFE NOW HAS FADED AWAY
IT'S WEAK LIGHT DEPLETED FROM MY VEIN
IT'S BEAUTY AND QUIETNESS NOW BECAME A SIN
AND MY DREAM OF DEATH WAS REBORN AGAIN
************************************
MANY DIRECTIONS IN FRONT OF MY EYES
,BUT NO ONE I CAN CHOOSE
NOTHING I CAN SEE CLEARLY AND NOTHING IS THERE TO LOSE
INSTEAD OF LIFE I SEE DEATH AND SADNESS
AS IF ALL OF MY LIFE I WAS LIVING IN DARKNESS
AN EMPIRE,YES, AVERY BIG WORLD OF MADNESS
THAT TURNED ALL MY LIFE INTO SOMETHING HOPELESS
************************************
I BEGAN TO SEE HOW THE SIN BECAME A VIRTUE
BUT DON'T WORRY MY DEAR I AIN'T GONNA HURT YOU
I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU WHERE THE LIGHT CAN BE
AND I SHALL DEPART AGAIN TO REVEAL MY DESTINY
*************************************
THE DESTINY THAT WAS FORCED UPON MY EYES
SO FULL OF PAIN , SO FULL OF SACRIFICE
AS IF I WAS LEADING THE WORLD TO IT'S DEMISE
************************************
NOW THE LIGHT RETURNED TO US AGAIN
TO REVEAL THE DARKNESS AND PURE THE SIN
BUT A GOOD LOOK AT THE END AND YOU CAN SEE INDEED
HATE AND BETRAYAL WERE BORN FROM A DARK SEED
**************************************
NOW THE LIGHT ISN'T PURE AT ALL
AND I JUST CAN'T RUN AND HIDE BEHIND THAT WALL
THE DARKNESS NOW IS MUCH BETTER FOR ME
AN EMPIRE OF DARKNESS WHERE I'M BLIND,I CAN'T EVEN SEE!
*************************************

I HATE YOU

I hate you for the things you said,
and everything you did
I hate you coz you sold your soul
just for the highest bid

I hate it how you broke my heart
because you didn't see
just who you loved in this sick world
and what was good for me

I hate you when you're not yourself
and more still when you are
I hated how you cut yourself
and i received the scar

I hate the way you don't listen
when i tell you that it's true
I hate it how you cheat and lie
but that is nothing new

I hate it when you're not content
and go for the extreme
i hate it how you scream at me
and think that you're supreme

I hate you now you look at me
and wonder what's the matter
i smash my fist into you're face
and watch my mirror shatter.

I think that one from Dryed tears or something should win... The poem about the little girl...

Broken wings of destruction
by Tabby

Broken wings that hang wet from the rain
A beautiful angel weeping in the muddy ground
Crying in her hands from all of the pain
But gives off a glow that lights everything around

Trying to help the world from its hatred and pain
when she went to earth the people did not want her there
They attacked she escaped for she was to be slain
All she wanted was to help all she did was really care

But the world was so full of darkness and crime
That no help from an angel could even bring the good out
Not even a child of heaven so beautifully sublime
These people of this world no longer knew what love was about

Suddenly a voice called out to the angel "come its to late"
She looks up at the sky with her pretty, tear stained face
"what then"she asks the voice "what then will be there fate?"
"destruction"the voice replies" thats the fate of the human race"....

(an angel comes to earth to repair the things we have done and what did we do we didnt want it
so in other words this poem is the meaning of life and everything we have done to it wars crime etc.)

The night I died by Rach

The night I died

Where were you when I really needed you
I was lost,betrayed,confused I did not know what to do
I called you and ran away from my fears and ran for my life
know i now that you will never be there for me so I used the knife

I walk home everyday alone,miserable and always mad
you where never there when I was really happy and sad
as I walk home to my shaggy miserable front door
I stayed thinking would anyone miss me if i fell on the floor

or if i went to my muddy empty yard and slipped into the pool
would anyone miss me even the students at school
I jingled the keys in the pocket and decided to go ring the bell
as I was heading for the room my heart was aching so I fell

When I awoke the next morning i was in the blue gown
did not know where I was at first then I began to frown
I noticed i was at the hospital it must have been something bad
I looked towarda my right and saw my sleepy mom and dad

I wanted to talk to them say I'm sorry about everything i have done
but they walked to wards me saying I'm still there number one
I started to cry and realized that life is more then wanting death
and I told them that i really loved them and took my last breath

as my parents slowly watched me die it was time for me to go
when I was lifted up wards to heaven I was sad to look below
I had thirteen happy and depressing years with my folks
I'll aways remember the time when my dad could not tell jokes

and my mother always seemed happy with everything she had
even though there are days i can look in her eyes and there sad
but she always hides her sorrow and that why I love her so
I know it will be hard for her to let this tragic nightmare go

but I must tell you why and how I died that lonesome night
I know I would have been happier but things where not right
I dated a boy for a year who i thought I would love forever
then one Friday night I was at his house I'll always remember

He tied me to his bed and used and abused me for hours
I was ashamed I thought he loved me when he brought me flowers
I got fed up with the abusing and that my heart and mind now kills
so i decided i could not live any longer and so i swallowed lots of pills

So that lonesome night when I walked home alone i got the chills
because that night i was going to die as i walk toward the hills
up to my little house where i have lived since i was born
that night felt my heart was beating faster tell it was torn

Secret Addiction

Staring into a mirror of forgotten dreams
She's paralyzed with fear, watching the ripples
The flesh upon her bones deceiving her mind

The heavy set weight staring at her sorrowed eyes
What she doesn't see is the bones pointing out
The drastic change into unhealthy from normality

The disproportionate girl kneels upon the tiled floor
Hugging the porcelain throne as if it were a lost love
Emptying the days contents into the forgiving bowl

Another addiction goes unnoticed.

-Mother-

You lay passed out on the floor
From all of the alcohol you have consumed
You pass out wishing you could have just one more
Day in and day out
You continue this deadly cycle
That not only harms you
But it affects everyone who is close to you
That is something you know nothing about
Because it's always about you and your pain
Your so blind to everything around you
You don't even notice the scars
The many deep painful scars that fill your daughter's arms
Day in and day out
She watches in silence as you ruin your life
You've never been there for her
So she has turned to the knife
To help take away her pain
So please mother
Just go ahead and drink another
Each day you get closer to death
Closer to taking your last breath
And every day your daughter slips farther into a state of depression
And relies more on her deadly obsession

Lonely park in September

A lonely leaf was caught by wind,
In autumn's grey September.
It flowed like silent cherubim,
for as long as I remember.

A single drop of tear I shed,
As leaf was in joyful stride -
The day was dismal, when the words I read
Of my lover's passing by.

Engraved in my soul, thy words are still
Deepening my blue
Now void remains that can't be filled,
I'm lost and so are you.

So I found myself being caught by wind
In early grey September.
And lost my little cherubim,
To things I can't remember.

First Sight
By: Naydeen

When I First Saw You,
You Were Standing Nice And Tall.
Skin The Color Of Sand,
Eyes As Blue As The Sky,
Lips As Soft As Silk.

One Sight Of You And I Was Taken,
Taken By Your Sense Of Carefree,
Taken By Your Beauty.

To Kiss Your Soft Lips,
To Touch Your Delicate Skin,
To Look Deep Into Your Beautiful Eyes
Has Been A Dream Of Mine,
And When That Dream Comes True,
I, Then, Will Know I'm In Heaven.

Runaway
by Tara Kay

Sometimes I feel like I wanna runaway,
Pack my things and make a quick getaway.
I need some time to get away from the problems in my life,
To relieve my mind and put aside all of this shit attacking me inside.
Memories no one can take away
The pain that I feel each and everyday
But I am not a weak little girl,
And my feelings make me wanna hurl.
I know that deep down I am really strong,
And I believe I can't ever do wrong.
So many nights so many tears I've cried ,
With no one to be by my side.
But now I am thinking harder than ever,
And I won't give up, not ever.
Sometimes I feel like I wanna Runaway,
But believe me I know for sure that it won't be today.

My Reason To Cry
By:: †Nella†

Watch it tear
Watch it rip
Watch and laugh
As the blood slowly drips

I know its sad to say
I could see it in your eyes
You've always wanted to do this
You're sick of all the lies

So stop my breathing
And slit my throat
Stab me once
And burn the note

I loved you
But you threw me away
I gave you my heart
You gave me a grave

And when you are done
Tearing me apart
Take this razor
Sign your name in my heart

Now smile and walk away
As I writhe in pain
Your love's killed me
My loss, your gain.

I'll never forget you
No matter how hard I try
You'll always be with me
My reason to cry

The Rose

Id put my life one the line
Just not to see you sad
I will always call you mine
I just love to see you glad

If you ever had an ounce of hurt
Id have a 100pnds of pain
If you ever feel lower then dirt
id be your shoulder to cry in the rain

I will be your forever healing
I'll be there when your in need
And I know Love is what I'm feeling,
Cause you wipe my pain when i bleed

Baby I'm yours forever
I'll make sure you never forget
This relationship is forever
Your the best I've ever met

Ill send you a beautiful red flower
and it has a deeper thought
The Green for moments that were sour,
Red for the battles we fought

But in the end the rose looks great
Because in the end were still Together
Just goes to show you're my fate
cause the rose stands tall,
no matter the weather

Your eyes shine brighter then the sun,
and sometimes i stare and get lost,
Thats how i know your the one,
This relationship has never lost

I love you so much baby,
and i know i can get demanding
but only you can save me...
Remember..That rose is still Standing....

I love you Christina....

by Randy East

Nows my chance to let you
know exactly how I feel
With fiery words of love and care
that warm a winters chill

You mean to me a river
Of endless flowing love
Who's waters are as pure
As the whitest country dove

I need you like
I need to breathe
Important as
a growing seed

Who's life depends
On love and light
And shelter on
A stormy night

You are my love
You are my light
You are my shelter
On that night

That night when I am lost at sea
And cannot find my way
You are the lighthouse of my
life With a perfect shinning ray

Our love will last forever
Or is Eternity defined?
For those two words are trapped
Encased in the spans of time

Yet what we have together
Is not etched in chalk
Our love is far more infinite
It completely stops the clock

The tenderness of your kiss
Creates a sudden stop in time
As if your perfect body hourglass
Gently landed on its side.
