Silent

I'm standing there,
My heart begins to pace,
I look down at my feet,
No, I cannot leave this place

You come over to me,
My mouth is bound,
You strip off my clothes,
Without a sound

I begin to cry,
I tried to beg,
But you didn't listen,
You just took off my underwear instead

Now I'm naked,
Bound and gagged,
You walk away,
I feel like I'm dead

You came back,
Two minutes later,
As you took off your clothes,
I began to swelter

What was happening,
What would you do?
I did not know,
Why did I ever trust you

You slide in your penis,
I begin to sweat,
I look back,
Now i regret the day we met

You move faster and faster,
Not making a sound,
I could not make one,
For i was gagged and bound

Eventually you begin to stop,
And i look up at you,
You looked up,
Your gaze went right through

I saw your eyes,
The hatred that lies,
Lurking beneath those slits,

Slowly, silently you left,
Slowly and silently I Faded away.

(P.s. I hope this poem isn't too explicit, if it is just say and I will change it, only I think this poem is very strong)!

I would love to enter...but I think 'rape' counts as 'explicit', would it not? If not, I will enter for one of my most emotional and best written poems is that. In my opinion...It made me cry, anyways.

sorry forgot it needed to be new

might have one in later

it has to be new, yes, but you can use rape to a certain degree

~Winter Nights Kiss~

The trees have been striped
No leaves to keep them warm
The bitter winds brings chill
To the bones.

Not snow but ice
Gleams on the streets
All living things
Curl up to their knees.
Try to keep warm
These hours will be deadly
These winter nights
Are not very friendly.

Your tears will freeze
Your breath will be short
No winter’s breeze
Will come with ease.

Bear with it
Keep your head down low
For winter nights kiss
Is something you will never miss.

Cannabalism {Double Ottava Rima}

Swimming around, everywhere, blood sets, displaced,
((Chunks)), indescribable matter on the ground,
With a difficult decision you are faced.
Push harder, deeper, more, let your heart resound.
Decide your fate quickly, enjoy the taste.
Listen gently to your screams fall to the ground.
Piece by piece, taste by taste, you'll eat your flesh,
Falling deep within a sleep; your final rest.

Feast upon flesh, so delicate and great,
Breaking skin by teeth - smell the smell so strong,
Cannibalism is your scrumptious fate.
Blood dripping down your face; this can't be wrong,
Looking up at victims with utter hate
For their flesh in your mouth is where it belongs.
Lying around you are skin and broken bones,
Laugh as you break the flesh; hear their final moan.

Black Roses
by Sarah Drew

Black roses sitting on my nightstand
Slowly wilting to nothing
Along with my heart

These black roses
Never knew they would be
My goodbye present

He left a note along side the bouquet
He told me our love was through
He was only playing a game

My poor heart meant nothing
Not to him, not to his hidden girlfriend
They kept their secret for so long

Sneaking around behind my back
They had their secret
They played their games

It is all over with us now
But still, he wants to be friends
I do not understand it all

He says he was playing a game
With my now broken heart
Yet, he still wants to remain close

He cheated on me, with my best friend
He says he still loves me
But I know it is just a lie

I do not care anymore
I will play along with this little charade
He can have his fun for now

In the end I will be victorious
He can play games, but I will play mine
Just wait and see what happens next

He broke my heart
I will break his neck
As I tell him thanks for the roses

Eternal life
by Silhouette, of something unimaginable

The crimson color
slowly flows
down the cheek
of a young pale girl
a cut below the eye
almost too deep
slowly he creeps closer
smelling the blood
she falls in love
their eyes meet
he supports her head
as he slowly goes closer
feeling he pulse
deep in her neck
he presses his lips to her neck
opening his mouth
revealing his fangs
she doesn\'t resist
for she got her with
she wished for death
now she has eternal life
but she is happy
for she is with him forever
in her
eternal life

like how new do u want it to be? like brand new?

Yeh, like made for the competition new...

... just has to be new hehehe and good :P

Shadows tracing trees of bloody leaves
Engulfing the Bright moon in brilliant red
Dripping gold from bags of thieves
Watching as bound young witnesses bled
To the night goddess their cry decieves
Who still lives and who will be dead
Oracles crumbled, shimmered and shattered
Pieces of evidence soaring and scattered

Past massacres and abandoned dread
Past serene castles where flowers bloomed
But traces of vain courting still shred
Any other joyful emotion that loomed
To darkness it's blissful smile is fed
It's old memories and future consumed
Till nothing but seeds hid in the ground
Afraid of thirsty demons coming around

Here lies photos revealing inner pain
Gathered from walks near and afar
Every glimmer of hope has been slain
Destroyed by the Idea of who we are
Cast into fire of this forbidding ordain
Burning tints of emotions raw
Mercy shows no pity on these days
Tangled together in decaying dismay

The Start of Something Evil
By: Twisted Heart

The Raven's grasped in greedy hands
Into it's eye, she stabs the needle
The witch's spell is almost done
It's the start of something evil.

The woman holds the witch's brew
Before her lies the raven dead
A bargain with the witch, she made
So once again, her obsession's fed.

With shaky hands, she tips the glass
And lets the liquid linger
There upon her rose red lips
Held once again, with porcelain fingers.

Such beauty, now reflects in grace
In shallow mist she sees
Gray ragged hair is now replaced
With waves of majesty.

Her wrinkled skin is soft and toned
With ivory colored hues
Against the barren wilderness
There is no substitute.

The witch's screech now heralds her
"What have you for me,"
"My last child, my favorite one,
I've given you my other three."

The witch, now cackles with delight
As she rips the child of breath
And takes the girl, who's lifeless
Into the realms of death.

good so far... come on gimme more :)

15 more days till end of competition...

Reflection

Here I lay and I still am awake
Trying to cover my latest mistake
That I loved her but her love was never encountered
Now I lie in my dreams and she's still haunting me
Everywhere that I look she is all that I see
No matter how far I have wandered.

For I met her that day, and it all seemed so right
We were together the whole day and the whole night.
And the fire just seemed to keep burning.
She said she loved me and I said it too.
She said that this strange feeling was new.
And I never thought that I'd be crying.

I lay here in the dark just recalling it all.
Wondering what I did just to make it all fall.
And my sleep just seems so far away.
Walked all around looking at a happy photo
Now my life is just filled up with sorrow and woe.
And it seems things just never go my way.

I look in the mirror but don't see myself
What did she do to me; I'm like the only sad elf.
And it hurts that she just wanted to move on.
The mirror tricks my mind, it makes me go insane.
My reflection is so dark as if I'm caught in rain
And I now feel like what I have done is real wrong.

My reflection shows me as I'm seen by the world
But it cannot show me that I feel like I've hurled
And I feel like I might drop and die.
Since she left me I'm dying.
Before her I was lying.
And now I am just asking why.

So it's all over now, enough time has gone by
Now I'll try to sleep on it, I'll say my good bye
And now I will forget all that I've done.
So I now get her body and take it outside.
I dig up the hole it's the end of the ride.
And now that she's gone, I have won.

12 days left

Rose In The Dust

Stop all your lying
Cease your heartless cries
I know you care not
For I see it in your eyes

That same callous glimpse
That glare that never leaves
The glance that says it hates me
The look embedded in my dreams

Such a chilled gaze you have
I wonder why it chose me
What have I done to you
To make you despise my being

Now just a rose in the dust
Robbed of beauty and worth
Color faded away to black
Death is my new birth

My heart blackened to coal
Your wish has come true
You've destroyed who I was
Now what will become of you

Satan's Anarchy

The room is dim and barely lit
The night is shady and remote
Sinister laughter engulfs my soul
And empties clearly in my throat

I swallow back and look around
The house is empty as it seems
Beads of sweat form on my head
As my nightmares eat my dreams

The sky's formation is changing
The world crumbles below my feet
I step back in with Satin's choir
As my heart skips one more beat

I witness how the room is spinning
Yet I am unsure of where to turn
My heart falls out, I leave it there
And I watch it shrink and burn

I clutch my chest with plenty blood
Yet the pain makes me feel whole
The tears they fall and freeze in air
As Satan bargains for my soul

His promises are most convincing
Quickly in suffering state I agree
The path he follows is malevolent
The road we are pursuing: anarchy

These are sosososo great!

*******Tomorrow will be the last day******

and like i've said if you haven't recieved your r/r/c please tell me... :) keep it up!

Vampires Victem

She walks through the night
Stalking him
He looks behind and sees her
She smiles, and he falters
She draws closer
Her eyes burn in her skull
Piercing him through

Her arm snakes out
And loops around him
Her lips caress his face,
His neck
She bares her teeth
Two incisors slide out
She administers a vampire's kiss

The man sighs
Not yet aware of his fate
She draws in the first mouthful
Of his hot life force
It rushes through her
Like liquid fire
Like molten love

She draws back a moment
A scarlet drop slides over her lips
The man sees
And horror fills his eyes
The stories his mother told him
Of monsters and ghouls
Come flooding back

She feels him stiffen
And tightens her grip
With one hand
She presses him to her
And the other muffles his screams
Checking they are alone still
She returns to her meal

As his life blood runs out
The man pales
He no longer resites
But lolls back in her embrace
She draws mouthful after mouthful
Feeling the fire it lights in her veins
Feeling the joy, the ecstasy

She feels his heartbeat
As it quickens
Fluttering in his chest
She draws deep a final time
And lets him slide out of her arms
He lies there, white as a sheet
Not dead yet
But no longer fully alive

She drops down beside him
And kisses him softly
Her brother
Her lover
Her victim
Before rising once more
And disappearing into the night.

sorry but i don't believe i have gotten my commet/rate thingy

oky doky ill get right on it :P

********CLOSED***********I shall determine my verdict soon :P

This poem is called "Story of Life" Its one of my best poems.

The Story of Life

1) Sitting all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence

2) They'll never know
The way they hurt me
Oblivious to what I had felt
And still felt

3) They'll never know
What I did, my effort
To ignore them, to completely
Shut them out

4) But now they say they're sorry
But sorry is not good enough
It will never be
It will never overcome my hurt

5) It will never satisfy my vengeance
My vengeance against them
For what they did hurt me
Hurt me bad

6) Sitting there in the shadows
Overcome with fear
Never realizing the life around me
Or the friend that stood by me

7) Always ignoring her
Like she never existed
Even though she had always
And still does stand by me

8) She never looked down on me
But always as an equal
Although I did not
I knew, just knew

9) I knew that she had always
Always been my friend
But I had never noticed
Never, until now

10) Now, I notice, and I realize
That she had always cared
Cared about my feelings
And how I live my life, and now..

11) Sitting out in the open
The sunlight shining down
Releasing the fear
That had held me back for so long

12) Strolling along, never looking back
At the life I once had
Now introduced to a new world
And loving it

13) Until a time
A time of rage
She turned against me
taunting me from the side

14) Anger flowing through and through
Never pausing for even a moment
So here I am now
Back to where I started

15) Sitting there all alone
In the darkness of the world
Waiting for the right time
To reenter my existence
