Cocaine Angel
By: Jordan

Take her
Away

Lead her
Astray

Make her soar
Above the clouds

Take pain
Away

Lead pain
Astray

Darken it within your
Loveless shrouds

Enter
Her soul -
Bloodstream
Make her whole
Lovely dream
A reality
Enter

Missing From The Picture
by ♥ Jєѕѕу ♥

Staring softly at the family picture
Glittery tears form in tender eyes
Slowly running down pale cheeks
On that dark night she silently cries..

The brother she once loved is gone
His gentle smile no longer glows
Now lying peacefully underground
Clutching but a single ruby rose..

Absent from this sparkly picture
The love left so empty, so alone
A jigsaw puzzle missing a piece
A king without a golden throne..

Their connection of love was broken
Locked up hastily and hidden was the key
Over the years it has slowly repaired itself
And brother and sister they will always be..

Pathetic Wish of a Writer

How pathetic is it
That I sit with emotion?
And instead of facing
My firing pain
I write it down
And wish it away.

My excuses are plenty
I reason with myself
That I need to express
My anger in
A healthy way
But is this so?

I hide away writing
Through my damned lack of esteem
Too afraid to conquer
My tiring,
Withering,
Wishes.

So writers lock away,
Just for a while
What's keeping you hidden
Making you frown
Don't write for acceptance
For forgiveness and pity
Speak for these things
You seek in your dreams.

Heart burning, tears pouring out fast,
The darkness around is controlling, vast.
Emptiness inside, no point to survive,
I've lost the only thing keeping me alive.

The darkness is here because you're gone,
Although I know you'll be back before long.
Sitting here thinking of how we once were
Yet our lives have been messed up, stirred.

I miss you, aching to see your lips again,
Hearing you say my name as a friend.
Feeling your touch, though it's been a while,
I'm madly in love with you; I fell for your smile.

I hope someday we can have what we once did,
But it disintegrated like being put in acid.
The emptiness was once filled up,
But now you're traveling around Europe.

I just hope we can fill the void,
I'm sorry for what I did; I know you're annoyed.
I'll hide my feelings if you talk to me again,
Because I miss you AJ. You were my friend.

~*Who Cares?*~

Screw convention. Humbly here is a poem of mine just to show my style and what I may be looking for. That's not to say I'm not open to all kinda of poetry, just that I personally like abstract, solid and succinct writing [it's what I strive for but always fall short and land in my couch of recycled emotion ;)]

You tiptoe through my dreams
stampeding as I wake

a rush of wind then rises
freezing solid, it does stay

a block within my center
that perfect yesterday

a static pulse of thought
this waiting satellite

stopped along its orbit
spreads out into a web

catches dreams, devours
your every signal sent

a lingering transmission:
silence chewing silence

~ will not be counted in the results.
Show me diversity

I Am

A shattered cough,
Lost breath,
Broken skin,
I am Death.

A single look,
A glance above,
A glimmering eye,
I am Love.

A touch that lied,
Broken Trust,
Lost Love,
I am Lust.

Wondering alone,
Lost Fate,
Never Love,
I am Hate.

A gracious smile,
A golden key,
A gate of Trust,
I am Destiny.

Unbroken lies,
Not left in dust,
An open arch,
I am Trust.

A broken smile,
I do defy,
What is truth?
I am a Lie.

A happy time,
Everyone's strife,
You'll never forget,
That I am Life

By My Side
by ([-untitled-])

I want to be,
next to you.
I miss you when,
you're far away.
being with you,
makes my day.

I need you to be near,
when you're here,
I have no fear.
but when you leave,
when you're gone,
I'm forgotten.
abandoned.
left out,
in the cold.

I cry,
I die,
Inside,
it kills me.
I can't survive,
without you.
I can't deny,
I need you..

I need you to,
be by my side,
for me to hide,
sheltered behind.
this burning desire,
like gasoline,
on fire
ecstasy-
only higher,
but then I learn...
you're a liar

a cheat
a sneak
a crook
like, a coded book..

a story consisting,
of torn pages.
and forgotten,
lies.
i forgot to read,
between the
broken lines.

now I see,
how you're a fake.
it's like finally,
I've begun to wake.
from a clouded dream,
an incubus
of screams.
a nightmare,
of lies,
atleast,
that's what it seems.

now everything,
is back,
to the way
it used to be.
nothing is right,
there is no more light,
the world is
covered,
smoldered in night.
the eyes of the people,
are shadowed,
in fright.

I can't look you
in the eyes.
can't face,
your demonic lies.
I can never,
bear the sight.
because of you,
I will never
be alright.
your lies show the fact,
that you never feel contrite.
this spark of hatre
is what,
you ignite.

your lies,
they kill me,
burn me inside.
make me feel,
a desperate
need to hide.
can't you tell?
that it's you
I despise?

please leave me.
just forget me.
I desperately need,
for you to regret me.

just find,
someone else.
to torment.
to torture.
to curse.

and to make their lives
miserably worse

please find,
another girl,
to kill,
with your lies.
because no more tears,
will fall
from these eyes.
these cheeks,
shall be dry.
I will never again cry...

But I want,
you to know,
that I still
need you...
by my side.

Teenage Anthem

When you wake up early,
And your already fukin late for work.
Your bound to get a promotion surely.
Your a far better than some supid store clerk.
When you go to grab your weed,
And you realized you have none and your going beserk.
When all your friends are addicted to speed,
And your the only one that doesn't feel like a jerk.

Then this is your TEENAGE ANTHEM!
Tear the power from your mindless leaders!
But don't forget to not to bite the hand of your feaders!
Anhilate the power.
Pull out the ak-47 and watch there bitch ass skower.
If you like stayin up all night and sleeping all day,
If you have spent your whole life lookin for the perfect lay.
Then this is your TEENAGE ANTHEM!

Break from your last plea, take my hand to guide you.
Take whats free, even if you are a jew.
Crooked smiles agree, that we should all stop sniffing glue.
Hidden in the shadows like a banshee, we still deny that we screw.

Push your fingers one more time into my mind.
Take them out and see what you will find.
My army of heretic youths will rob you and leave you blind.
And if your sick of listening to old people and being kind.

Then this is your TEENAGE ANTHEM!
Tear the power from your mindless leaders!
But don't forget to not to bite the hand of your feaders!
Anhilate the power.
Pull out the ak-47 and watch there bitch ass skower.
If you like stayin up all night and sleeping all day,
If you have spent your whole life lookin for the perfect lay.
Then this is your TEENAGE ANTHEM!

Changes From Day To Night

Sunshine,
Joy spreads throughout the land.
Hope once more is mine,
I can again understand.

Little children come out to play,
As the sun is shining bright.
People everywhere embrace the day,
Happiness is everywhere in sight.

And then, behold!
The sun does set.
Heat turns to cold,
Evil is about to be met.

Night,
Everything fades to black.
Gone is the sense of right,
Safety we now lack.

People hover in fear,
Dread settles in.
Wishes to disappear,
Are thought of again and again.

Then a single ray of light,
Promises the beginning of day.
It penetrates the night,
Driving fear away.

We again are free to hope,
Again are free to play.
No longer will we mope,
Until the end of day.

For when it comes night,
The fear starts again.
And only till it's light,
Will the fear finally end.

Killing fables
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

Jack and Jill
a pale of water
up the hill
Jill was cute
but Jack thought Mary was hotter
Jack fell down
broke his crown
just before he fell
Jill stabbed him
teach you to look at Mary,
think twice next time.
Jill cries after him
then silently walks away

I Never Stopped Loving You

Why did you leave me after all we had...
Why did you push me away...
Did you want me with you at all...
Why did leave me for another woman after i gave you everything..
Why did you get married to her when i told you how i felt....
Why did you forget about me...
I turned a teacher....
And i saw your kids everyday...
I was their favorite teacher....
I wish they were ours....
our kids...
Do you really love her??
Did you feel anything for me??
In my soul i am dead hoping to come back to life to see you once more.....
But now you notice me..
at Back to school night...
You started to talk to me more..
I loved it...
But your wife made you move...
I can't see your beautiful kids anymore...
nor you..
But why do you say that you truly loved me when I lay dying in your arms..
I couldn't handle it anymore....
You just not With me in my soul...
Why are you holding me saying that you care with all your heart..
But all i can say to you is that....
before i am gone from this world..
*whispers* i never stopped loving you....

Lonely Sleeper

With the glow of his soul waning at each moment's breath, he stood alone in front his mirror and muttered aloud,

"I am but a man. How can she, but a woman, wound me so deeply? I must be in love!"

And, with that said, he dragged his body, now cumbersome with feelings of morose and anguish, to his bed. Solitary and confined by the walls of his mind, he lived; solitary and confined by the walls of his room, he slept.

Daunted by Truth

Languishing memories wandering,
With many distant solitude thoughts,
Painted pictures freezing over time,
Compelling lips to tie double knots.

Should I speak of truth?

No, I can't.

Carnage words forsaking emotions,
Immersing dilemmas beyond sight,
Daunted by truth in need of repairing,
Battling a constant contagious fight.

Should I just give up?

No, I can't.

Baffling days seem to be hopeless,
Mistakes carve into walls built around,
Scorching all pure, innocent beauty,
Framed portraits stay left on the ground.

Should I show my pain?

No, I can't.

Distracted faces turn and walk away,
Ashamed from unworthy familiar lies,
Rivalry's between false and honesty,
Go unheard along with tears she cries.

......I think I'm afraid of telling the truth.

1st place Illuminati - Watching you
Very nice writing, so emotive and light and poetic.

2nd place Bob Schank
what i believe this poem is lacking in imagery more than makes up for it in the wisdom of the message.

"follow the inner peace
of the deceased"
-- my favorite line of any on this page.

3rd place Natalie
for me he flow was a bit stumbly at times and syntax is a bit weird in a few places, but other than that I liked the imagery and truth of this piece.
