Until next time, Lady V.

Transfixed by the movements, the musical vibrance,
We move to the tune of invisible sirens.
Reality reposes with the closing of eyelids,
Then lies change to truth and peace transforms violence.
As the colors fade from blue, all noise turns to silence.

Upon awakening, I feel an icy hand capture me;
Pulling me down, closer to insanity.
Vertigo sets in, but the dizzying gravity
Helps to realize the hand is my own, that I’m actually
Standing stock-still, alone, blinded while I atrophy.

With our head down and eyes dripping wet,
Feeling hasn’t slipped from us yet.
Silence is a burden we grow to regret,
But still a reminder of that which is set:
The music of a past we’ll never forget.

A distant drone, or a heartfelt beating,
Omnipresent and ever-repeating.
Tongue tipped with malice, the devil is feeding
And tightening the noose which constricts our dreaming.
While robbed of our fruits we lie quiet,.. selfish and bleeding.

As we sit cradled by cold, grim hands,
Choice is beckoning, it calls, it demands
To face the music and to take a stance.
And as the echo lives on through our second chance,
We’re helplessly drawn into this wreckless dance.

Immortal

Mislead by the world
She follows the night
Creates her own path,
Creates her own sight.
Spirit so dim,
Bruised and broken.
Heart as cold,
As hatred's token.
Bitter and tired,
She wishes not to feel.
Bitter and tired,
She's too torn to heal.

"Bring me to the darkness,
Where the living are dead.
Blind me of mortal fate,
That lie ahead.
Make my heart beat stop,
Let the blood run cold.
Oh demon who take over me,
Let the blood run cold."

With every footstep, on the ground,
She holds no fear, hears no sound.
Veins are bursting, a surge through her spine.
Her lungs fill with oxygen, one last time.

"Bring me to the darkness,
Where the living are dead...
Let the blood run cold."

The Pain Of Death

Lest the pain take me,
I will give to it an end,
Lest the pain take me,
I will take myself

Dawn the light of endless sleep,
I wish of nothing more,
Dusk the night of endless sleep,
To see you at my door

Runaway from me my dear,
Runaway for good,
Stayaway from me my dear,
As I think you should

Die again because of you,
I know it could be worse,
Rise again becuase of you,
After I leave the hearse

In My World
By: Sarah Drew

Nothing is fair
Nobody will care
Reality is twisted
In my world

It's cold and dark
Will you dare to disembark
Try to find your way
In my world

All you see when you look around
Is death and decay on the ground
It's full of evil
In my world

Can you get out of my world alive
Only the strong can survive
What will happen to you
In my world

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

I'm Now Immortal
by Alyson

White faces surround me
Forever frozen in their eerie light
Darkness is around me
This is the path they walk in the night

Their thirst for blood controls them
They know not what they do
It drives them to do horrible things
And not always follow whats true

As they come upon me
I do not shed a tear
For they can't see through me
I won't show them my fear

They hold me in their tight embrace
Then give my the kiss of death
They whisper secrets in my ear
As I'm getting ready to take my last breath

But what they do next surprises me
They give me the gift of life
I am now immortal
No longer dealing with my strife

The next night I walk with them
Travel this ending land
For now I am one of them
Sitting at their right hand

powerless

Bound to a table
Her body stripped bare
Her screams ringing in her ears
No one seems to care

Knifes cut and graze her
Her body bruised and broke
Her scarred mind in tatters
With sobs she starts to choke

Although people surround her
And she recognizes each face
No-one will move to save her
She has fallen from their grace

Tormented with pain
As loved ones coldly stare
Her wrists bleed from pulling
At the bonds which keep her there

//////////////////////////////////////

In her asylum bed she pulls against her restraints
For it is now that we find
Her loved ones are powerless to help her
For she is locked inside her mind

THE LIGHT INSIDE OF ME ..
***********************
LOOK AT THIS WORLD AND TELL ME WHAT Y0U CAN SEE
IS IT BAD OR GOOD OR IT IS AS IT SHOULD BE
LOOK AT THE SKY , STARS AND THE SEA
I THINK IT'S NOT HOW IT USED TO BE
-------------------------------------
MANY YEARS AGO THIS WORLD WAS BRIGHT
WITH NO DARKNESS THAT COULD SHADE THE LIGHT
OUR FEELINGS WAS PURE LIKE THE SUN OR THE MOON
OUR HEARTS FULL OF LOVE BUT IT CHANGED AWAY TOO SOON
---------------------------------------
THESE DAYS EVERYONE IS LIVING FOR HIS OWN
WITH HEARTS THAT COULD EVEN BE HARDER THAN STONE
FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE .. NOW THEY ARE RARE
BUT TO HOLD ON TO THE RIGHT WAY IS AN OPTION THAT WAS ALWAYS THERE
----------------------------------------
BUT TO WHOM YOU ARE TALKING , IT'S JUST TOO LATE
NO ONE IS LISTENING , NO ONE WANTS TO CHANGE HIS FATE
TO LEAVE THE DARKNESS AND RETURN TO THE LIGHT AGAIN
IT'S LIKE PULLING A TREE WITH ROOTS FULL OF SIN
-----------------------------------
IT'S HARD , I DIDN'T SAY IT'S AN EASY WAY
TO STAND STILL WHILE THE SEA DRIFT YOUR FRIENDS AWAY
BUT IF YOU LOOKED AND SAW WHAT YOU WILL GAIN IN THE END
IT'S SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL MORE THAN YOU HAVE EVER IMAGINED
---------------------------------
IT'S LIKE MAGIC , THE END OF YOUR ENDLESS FEAR
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I DIE AND DISAPPEAR
YOU'LL FEEL THE ANGEL INSIDE OF YOU TOO
IF YOU TRIED TO FIND THE LIGHT INSIDE OF YOU
---------------------------------------

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

I love creating Competitions. Wanna know why? It's coz of poeple like you guys who submit your poems to my critical judgement.

I LOVE THEM ALL!!

Confessions of a Prostitute

Walking in the frigid night
Inaudible whispers drowning me
Of things and that were, without success
And things that could never have been

Scarlet dress, ripped at the seams
And toxic, cheap cologne
The endless wait for some one to come
And pick me up tonight

Tonight’s the night
I’ll show the others who said I could never succeed
Young or old, weak or bold
As long as they’ll pay the fee

He comes that night
I am transported to a world away from mine
Heartless passion,
An emotionless bond that pays the bills

Walking in the frigid night
Inaudible whispers drowning me
Of things and that were, without success
And things that could never have been

Her last words
by Just-take-my-heart-i-want-you-to-have-it

He lifts his eyes
as she runs to him
she is crying
but why he isn't sure
the he sees another person
chasing her, why?
she reaches him
holding her, she begs him to save her
"just wait, he won't hurt you"
"oh but he will," she cries
"the one you should run from is me"
opening his mouth
revealing his fangs
she gives out a scream
"oh please someone help me!"
it rings through the forest
for those are truly
her last words

Broken Watch Works Like A Compass
by Tony

Taking pills behind locked doors
To get near the crest of every sole
In this mass grave we dig for ourselves
And we are up in arms pressing onwards
Into a night that is pressing down
But it won't get us this time

With barbed wire webbing around homes
The screams were taken as laughter
Feeling so sensual with misconceptions
Enthralling the repulsing verity away

Allowing ourselves get lost in black outs
Do you hear shattered voices?

Lids of coffins propel downwards
Crushing caps off of gasoline cans
And it's transpiring into our shells
Nauseating repercussions take over our senses

Letting ourselves get lost in black outs
Do you hear shattered voices?

Static fluxes through the sky
Pushing down into each persons basement
News reports fade away
The last words the clearest in their minds,
"We had hoped to end conflicts here,
in a conflict of our own..."

Crashing straight into crimson doors
Flooding forth into hallways charred black
Ghosts crying at every corner

And we are letting ourselves get lost in this black out
Do you hear the shattered voices carrying down the stairs?
Paling into a afflictive cry screaming to be entwined
...
Everyone here is going down alone
Like the building their bodies are littered in

Blood

By David Marshall

Blood on the streets,
Blood on the blades.
For every heart that beats,
another life fades.

How much blood must pour,
until death is satisfied?
All this blood on the floor,
From all of those who died.

Flames from hell,
Lights from heaven,
Most of them fell,
Some went to eden.

Death will go on,
Until theres no one left.
From all the evil that spawn,
that took our lives with theft.

the sad water....

Dip my finger into the sea
desperate to break the wild night
cold and smooth
form a glee
stay,linger , and die
immature torrents
crawling high, sobbing
brought the voice of..
reason.....
from the past
purple dream
the speecless eye
killing lonely
soundless movement
a cup of gloom
hiding peacefully
the dark sad water...
it just not enough
to make me
cry......

i'm a tad busy today adn maybe tomorow, so the ~CONTEST ENDS NOW~ but i won't be able to judge it for a couple of days.... if anyone shoudl submit a poem by sheer fluke b4 i start judging, it will be counted as a worthy participant in this contest. Have fun!

Our Little Secret

"No one has to know
what happens in here today.
It'll be our little secret.
Let's keep it that way."

He would always tell her that,
and she would always keep quiet.
No one had to know what daddy did.
Besides, she didn't want to get hit.

She knew better than to anger her daddy.
That wouldn't be very smart.
He would only hurt her more,
making sure he left his mark.

So she would lie on her bed, softly weeping,
while her daddy did bad things to her.
And when at last he left her alone
she'd watch the wall become a blur.

Then one day her mind snapped
and a knife she did take.
Into her daddy's chest she did plunge it
and left him lying in a blood lake.

"Daddy, no one has to know
what happened in here today.
It'll be our little secret.
I promise to keep it that way."
