Love by JHarrison:

A dog barks
eyes widen
sliding hand
between hand
between side
and sides
inhale
a door opens
choke stale air
staring eyes
between walls
between iris
and between irises
the water flows
toes clenched
electricity surges
between flesh
between water
and water
burns
the light shines
body silent
burnt smell
stifled gasps
distant lovers
dead body
water flows
burnt flesh
two hands
between
one hand
around the
exhale

Here's the one time posting someone else's work isn't in the context of 'plagiarism,' and everyone scatters. Weak.

These Pretty Little Things (song) By FavoriteMistake....

i really liked this poem/song.. it made so much sense and instead of sulking over loosing a boy, they wrote about the exact opposite. it gave me a new perspective. i loved it...

*****

I throw away whats left of my heart, dont need it anymore
I dont want something in my life, I just cant control.
Ive never fallen in love, only fallen out.
My lifes just another broken season
I loved you, did I need a reason?
Oh, your so damn picture perfect.

I think ill just sit back and watch you drown
In all your pathetic attempts and lies
You can die at my feet
And I would just stand back and watch
And then youd be the one asking me why

Its all so clear and black, my artificial night
Like an arrow on dreadful wings
Do you feel what there is to loose
Why did you lead me to another dead end promise...
To cry those lonely nights with unhappy tears
Bringing back, those forgotten fears.
Now its you thats going to lose

Two days happy,
The rest of the time sad,
So hard to let go,
Of something I never had.

These pretty little things,
these pretty little lies
The pretty things you are
is everything I despise
your just so little in my mind now.

And youll be asking me why

Feel the pain of my yesterday (let it bleed your blackened soul)
Can u feel what youve lost
Youve lost my forgotten heart
But ill find a way to yours
Ill shatter it, poison it
Watch it slowly die

And youll be asking me why

And you wont bring me down..
Ill be the memory you dread
The memory youll die to forget
(Just like I did)

These pretty little things,
these pretty little lies
The pretty things you are
is everything I despise
your just so little in my mind now.

Your smile is still calling out my name;
Even though it is only a picture inside a frame;
You meant so much to me but you'll never know;
You still mean the world but Ill never let it show

I didnt want to love you
I didnt want to care
why would u make me feel this
when I didnt want to

but ill find a way to your heart,
ill find a way to your heart.
Ill let it bleed a crimson red
I hate myself for staying so long,
Letting you screw around with my head

Ill be the memory you dread.
The memory youll die to forget
Now its you thats going to lose.
Your going to loose.

And youll be asking me why.
Do you feel what there is to loose

These pretty little things,
these pretty little lies
the pretty things you are
is everything I despise
your just so little in my mind now.

And youll be asking me why.
Like an arrow on dreadful wings
Do you feel what there is to lose?

Oh, your so damn picture perfect in my mind.
Did I really need a reason?
I loved u like the changing of a season
There really is no reason.

Those pretty little lies youd die for.
And Im stuck screaming asking you why.

These pretty little things,
these pretty little lies
the pretty things you are
is everything I despise
your just so little in my mind now.

And youll be asking me why.

Did u feel what there is to lose?
These pretty little things. These pretty little things

you practically forced me to post a poem for fear that I may be considered "weak" or selfish...haha

one I just read today,
Civilized People by Atomic

A violent act against racism,
That is not who I truly am.
I am the shepherd who will lead,
All my fellow sheep and lambs.

Follow my footsteps into,
A world of multi-colors,
Where there's no difference,
In who I call my brothers.

Don't fight back to nonsense,
Being who you are is strong.
If you rise your fist to them,
It is you who is dead wrong.

Show them you're not different,
You can be civilized people too.
Just because your skin is darker,
Doesn't mean they can harm you.

I have a dream that one day,
Black and white will be just colors.
It can't determine who we are,
To the Blacks, Whites, and others.

Dr. Martin Luther King Junior,
That is who I am and can be.
Your identity can be your name,
If you just join this march with me.

Don't sink your pride that low,
And follow what they have done.
If you just continue marching on,
You can stop what they've begun.

If my life ended this very day,
No regrets would be on my part.
For I'll know I've done what's right.
By listening to my beating heart.

I had a dream to end this racism,
And my dreams did come true.
Now if you don't fight back,
You, my friend, can dream too.

(")-(") Arrivederci!

My life is now complete. =D

A Special World
by Josh

A special world a special place
Void of problems, time, and space
A place to be happy and never be sad
A place without anything driving you mad
A place that is reserved just for two
Reserved for the love between me and you
A place without worries, a place without pain
A place not to fancy, actually plain
A place where all that matters is love
Flying so free like an elegant dove
I wish so bad that that place could exist
With all of my heart, I don't ever jest
And just think if we could live in that one special world
Together, me and you giving it a twirl
Taking a risk, taking a chance
Almost as if in an embarrassing dance
Living in that place of perfection and right
I wish that we could with all of my might
To live in this place so good and so true
We'd never worry about what not to do
We wouldn't feel grief, or pain, or sorrow
All that would matter is your love on the morrow
And though this world seems so strong and so sure
Its actually fragile, soft, insecure
Easily broken by two main
It was you who chose to unleash the pain
You cannot destroy something so beautiful and pure
And so I'll wait in that one special place
Covering the tears that roll down my face
In that special world that has faded away
Leaving no trace of the tears on my face.......

Life is like a candle
by Dan

Life is like a candle
slowly burning away at the unseen
but when will the flame die out
and what will happen in between

wax drips like blood
and is forgotten when it meets the end
and it soon must die out
just like nature would intend

minutes pass like years
in the candles life and ours
whether it will be long or short
in seconds or in hours

when the candle is first lit
we are first born
how long will we live for
until we are burnt and torn

as we get old and weaker
the candle loses it strength
but one thing is unsure
the time or the length

but in some ways we are different
we first grow then deteriorate
the candle burns away when first lit
a flame to determine our fate

souls are like smoke
coming from deep within us both
they drift and wander
leaving no time for growth

life is like a candle
we all must die and fade away
the flame has burnt right through
and i have melted today

HOW COULD I FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO LOVES SOMEBODY ELSE
by Amanda

Love is a special thing between two people. So how could this happen to me?
How could I fall in love with someone who loves somebody else?
I know how I feel is just not right, you belong to her and I can't change that.
So why can't I let you go? Is it cause every time you touch my body I can't help but to fall deeper and deeper.
The thought of what we do makes me sick. So why can't I stop doing it?
Is it cause you say you care and that you will always be there.
Is that just a lie you tell me so I wont go.
In the moment I feel like we are two people in love, but when you leave and I know you go touch her the same way you touch me.
It makes me hate every moment I have with you.
The thought of you making love to her the same way you make love to me kills me deep inside.
To know that i'm not the one you love hurt like no other pain.
So why do I put myself through this pain?
Is it my heart playing games, making me want to believe that one day you will be mine.
My mind knows so different, you will never be mine.
Its like a fight I could never win. Like a storm that will never end.
I know I need to get out of this place I am in.
I try to run from it but I get no where but back into your arms.
When will this end. Will I ever stop loving you? Will you ever stop loving her?
I wish someone could tell me, how could I fall in love with someone who loves somebody else?

By Illuminati

My heart leads me to endure again the ghosts of yesterday
The reminder of seasons and years, the hosts of yesterday

Thoughts are riding out, blasting thunderbolts and lightning
Evoking what had been concealed, the boasts of yesterday

Wind raging, sorrows of clouds pouring down their misery
Ripping out memories anchored to the posts of yesterday

Lost love streams in all directions, flooding my dreams,
Waves of yearning beating against the coasts of yesterday

But darkness parts as the Sun rises from heaven's vault
Spreading mercy on my soul, onto the toasts of yesterday
--------------------------------------
It's about time someone brought out this idea. Hehe, tis great! Anyway, the poem above is written by a favourite of mine: Illuminati (I'm always forget how to spell it though, so I am definatley gonna check afterward) And that poem written above is a 'Ghazal'.

by apathetic soul

No one left and no one came,
All has changed yet all's the same.
Spinning in reverse we fall,
Caught in quicksand, one and all.

Fleeing on a rounded track,
Running though we still come back.
Circles wind us back through space,
Unaware, our shadows race.

Memoirs chase us through the past:
Futile dreams that didn't last.
Loneliness, greed, love, and guilt
Flashing by the lives we've built.

Emptiness is all we know,
Memories of long ago.
Giant hourglasses spin:
Time reverses, we begin.

Caged in history's remorse,
It's too late to change its course.
Circles ever small we make,
Drowning in an echo's wake.

No one left and no one came,
All has changed yet all's the same.
Spinning in reverse we fall,
Caught in quicksand, one and all.

^ always liked that one..

The Boy Who Loved
by Tortured Soul

There was once a boy who loved
He was happy and joyful
He had everything he wanted
He was in love with the most beautiful girl

But one day that all changed
She got into a car accident
She died because she got hit by drunk drivers

After that day the boy stopped loving
He had no feeling of happiness
He started to see everything as wicked

He began to hate everyone
Life didn't feel like living anymore
And so, the boy who loved
Took his own life

Attack
by Devin

They come in numbers
Spreading everywhere
Killing all they see

Burning and destroying
Everything in their path

In the dark of the night
They begin with a new village
Taking apart everything

Burning down the homes
With the families still inside

As they take it all apart
They grin dark smiles
Across their faces

They feel so powerful
Knowing nothing can defeat them

The demons move to the last house
When they walk in the door
They see a little girl
Curled up in the corner

One walks over to the little girl
They demon looks into her soul
Seeing her darkest secrets

Seeing how she is beaten and abused
And how she prays to die every night
The demon picked the girl up
And sucked the life out of her

All the demons left and burned the house
They left the village

Now they are waiting
For the next time to go and kill
With no mercy

Can I post song lyrics? (Not from P&Q)

Well SOOOOOORRYY lol. ummmmm howabout.....
Candle of Death by Lady Vengeance

Burn the candle to the wick
fleeting demons make me sick
Why do they ignore his rule?
to do right can be so cruel

i see this hollow, dark abuse
don't try and make up an excuse
the candle flickers, almost goes out
this fear i can do without

screams unheard will go ignored
"save me" i now begged my lord
the shimmering surface breaks
dragged down by all of my mistakes

lying at the oceans base
i can clearly see your face
i watch your smile begin to crack
walk away and don't look back

clawing at my last chance
above me drops of moonlight dance
if only i could lift my arms
i can't, the surface remains calm

i now will cry my last tear
and slowly watch it disappear
as it merges into my grave
i realise, i was your slave

surely now my flame has died
the candles wet from tears I've cried
never again will it light
candle of death, you've won this fight

JHarrison - Wooden Horse

Today I saw a horse
In the woods,
Leaf mane
Rustling
In a closed
Window
Breeze—
How free, how free
I thought
To be
A horse
In the trees

When then
The horse
Began to
Neigh
And
Biliously
Proclaim
That to be
A horse
Of the trees
Is to
Be a horse
Continually
Lame

Then
I looked
With dismay
At his
Hoofs
Slowly decayed
And felt
Coldness
From inside
Pulled out a gun,
Shot
And watched
Till he died
And all the
Sap ran from
His veins
For as free as it is
It is no fun
To be a wood horse
With nowhere to
Run.

Story of a Girl
by Sarah Drew

Let me tell you a story
It's about a girl
Who is afraid to feel

She is scared to use her emotions
They make her feel weak
She wonders what people would think of her

He would laugh at her
He would not want to be friends anymore
She feels so lost inside

She wants all these feeling to stop
She doesn't want this hurt any longer
What is wrong with this poor girl

She is now like a rock
Numb, mechanical, and uncaring
She has lost all her feelings

Next time you see this girl
Staring out into the blue
Remember, he did this to her

I nominate my sis, Layla!

Shooting Star
by ~*Weeping Wolf*~

So many memories
Of a friendship shared
So many ways
You showed you cared

Old friend, I miss you dearly
And wonder where you are now
Our last words were forgotten
For I don't know why you left or how

We used to play make-believe
Together every remembered day
But now the memories have faded
into the past of yesterday

How long has it been now?
I can't even remember
The last time I saw your face
Before you left forever

Your smile welcomed me in
As I reminisce on when we met
Your eyes, so young and sweet
You the friend I won't forget

I've tried to contact you
But you would never call back
I hope you still remember me
For your friendship I still lack.

I wonder if your dead, or alive
Another friend gone and past
Sometimes I fear the worst
Wish at least one memory could last

I cry and think of you
A friend that I once knew
Shot through me life like a Shooting Star
But sadly, it seems you've soared too far

I look up to the sky still hoping
I will see you again some day
But in my heart I know it true
That you are gone and away

Like a shooting star, though me life you flew
Over and in my life, Too fast you went by
I will forget you and your dreams never
But we never had a last hug or last goodbye

Ya, you shot through my life like a shooting star....

haha todays FRIDAY hahaha

I don't know if it's accepted if I post this now but anyway, I really enjoyed it so I wanted you to
enjoy it too.

A Sonnet of Heartache
by Roh

A dream, a dream, it was only a dream
So vivid, so false, so real it seemed
A place and a time where all was still
A though in mind, for her to fill
She, a mystery, yet so knowing
Let me close, and thus exploring
The love for her I thought I had
A love, who those think is mad
Sitting side by side, yet sigh away
An hour or so, then part our ways
And leave me here in different Hells
To remind my love has done me well
Under an ocean; sinking while breathless
Lost in a desert; searching while endless
Embalmed in flames; burning while knowing
Freezing in snow; sleeping while hoping
That mine angel wouldst appear
In this, mine dark winter-fear
And then she comes, with things on back
Graceful she flies, on wings of black
And she carries my soul away from me
Away, away, for all to see
She has her prize, she has her claim
She has my heart, she has it tamed
And while this angel took my soul
She turned her head and looked me so
In her eyes, did this I see
A love of which cannot be
Then I woke from painful hells
And only then did I tell myself:
A dream, a dream, it was only a dream
So vivid, so false, so real it seemed
A place and time where all was still
A heart of mine, for her to fill

this is a poem by Rusted x Heart

Xiomara

Watch as the folding surface
Bends the lonely light,
A vanishing emotion,
Out of mind and out of sight.

A drowning cloud in its reflection,
Where the dead mermaids lay,
Never altogether,
Always one, it goes astray.

The ripples of redemption,
Born from but a tear,
Amidst this sea of solitude,
Fate has brought her here.

The nymph of seven waters,
Collecting liquid pain,
She tidal-waves emotion,
For there's nothing left to gain.

i love this poem!!!!!!

How about this?
I'm not a fan of love poems. but I liked this one.

Life is Sweet
by Josh

Let me not say that I love you,
Although you know it is true.
That phrase has been so much aboused,
Misunderstood and over-used.

Let me say rather "I think you,
Breath you, taste you, feel you, dream you"
That you make each day complete,
And life has never been so sweet.

ive anouther! is that ok? well here it is!!!

graffiti skys
by Wings of Flames

The tension upon the faces part,
The scarce beauty and twinkling lights,
The tide is in and the hearts are sharp,
The stars burning upon the nights,

The waves ripple time a graceful saint,
The laughter behind the cosmetic masks,
A friendship holds the popular taint,
The liquid dined on captured in casks,

The bottles of courage are drunk at the local pub,
The grotesque hide in their houses of wax,
The enemies are coming in their lethal sub,
"You're going to die" is sent by fax,

March us unto our suicidal grunge,
Rip us to our stand and let the bombs fly,
Into the shallow we start to plunge,
Salute the Captain when the end is nigh,

We have to respect the ones who rape the young,
Deprive us of our future with agression,
The deranged are imagining the old songs that were sung,
It won't matter, those who survive will die of deppression,

The gown of the young maiden stripped from her frame,
Graduation was so long ago,
But of course they feel no shame,
He gives her one last sacrifical blow.

Congratulations Winners!!! :)
