Thank you God

Running fast
It forever lasts

Don't kill yourself now
Problem, I don't know how

Cut the wrists and slit your neck
As you stand shakeing on the deck

Crying pours out of you
As of course there is hope too

But, nothing lasts
So run very fast

-paige

is their a spacific genre in this contest?

its for religious poems. its a second part to a contest basicly. its the same contest as before. =]

its for anything religious if i recall. =]

yep:(Last contest)

I have seen that no one post any religion poems so I thought I'd give it a try it can be about your personal believe or any relious believe that u know about.

I will take first 20 poems
first place will be a add to favorites and 8rrc
2nd place will be 6rrc
3rd place will be 4rrc
hm gets one rrc

Little bit is this a relious poem
lauren thank u for explaining u r correct

poets may enter as many poems as u like

Great poem and great topic but does not fit the contest since it is not religous

lets keep them poems coming

Its called "You're a Lie of Inner Peace" enjoy

So why do you pour it out
No one is making any sense
Keep your feelings in your mouth
You're too intense

And I don't know why you're looking up
There's no god above,
If there was why would he look down?
And if he did, He'd frown

But you still wait for some kind of sign,
But my truth, my dream
Is to leave religion behind,
But you are too brainwashed it seems

Disagree, then why read?
Your own god is a lie
If you believe
Then why not die?

You're not my teacher
And I'm not a preacher
You chose to listen to me
I tell you, I just can't believe
In some old broken telephone game
The Bible, I have read line by line
It has no answer except that you sin
Why live life so boring,

Learn, Work, Breed, Die then Repeat

We're Lost in a faze of endless religions
And each one has a major contradiction,
Show me the truth and I'll show you the lie
But in the end we'll all just fall prey and die

wow that was a great poem

post it here I'll read it then tell u what I think

this is good

come on poets join up. give me some poems to read.

-To stop the rain-

I try to breath
I'm suffocating
Try to heal
This heart that breaking
I try to survive
Please save me
This life I live
Please trade me

Words I've spoken
gone unheard
Tears I cry
Go unseen
I was scared
You flee from thee
Could you please
Believe in me?

To stop the rain
I feel it splashing
To stop the wind
I feel it thrashing
To stop the pain
I feel inside
To say a word
Is to lie

Hormonal hurricane
Twisted tornado
Full of pain
Rod of lightning
Do not strike
Roll of thunder
Hear my cry
Let it end tonight

To stop the rain
To see me smile
Let my heart rest
For a while
Cast the light
And watch me shine
One last time
Before you strike

I didn't see any rules, so i posted my latest, are there any rules I missed?

Misspoken Heart

by: David Marshall

Your alone in the world.
You can't seem to make one smile.
You lost the only girl,
that was ever really worth while.

You walk alone in the woods.
Passing every broken stone.
You didn't think you should,
but who cares when your alone.

The flowers fade black and die.
With every step you take.
A memory comes with each tear you cry.
A memory of every mistake.

The sun slowly sets.
The wind's breeze sleeps at the moment.
A leaf falls for every regret.
The thoughts in your mind; thoughts of torment.

This pain through your soul; memories in your head.
You lay down on a near by log.
You've cried until your eyes are blurred; hope is dead.
You barely even notice the fog.

The sky is so black; all light consumed.
The sun will never come back.
Things might get better; you shouldn't assume.
All the stones are broken; but one has a crack.

You see a dull but living flower.
You lift up that stone.
Your life is not over; don't ever cower.
You wont always be alone.

Those rocks may be broken.
Those flowers may have died.
But your heart has been misspoken.
Your heart is not empty; God is inside.

God's Gift

A single mother trying to make it on my own,
Living a life others don't condone,
Got away with most the things I did,
Seemed like more fun if it was something forbid,
Gave me a reason just to do it again,
But fate has a way of stepping in,
Just when you think you can't take no more,
The devil steps in to settle the score,
Offering things that seems only right,
Eternal Hell is his only plight,

No rhyme to the reason,
Just a change of the season,
One foot in front of the other,
Never knowing one day she'd discover,
Fate has a way of stepping in,
Not knowing how to change or where to begin,
Down on my knees I called upon him,
Lord, I know what I've done has not been right,
That was just one battle, Lord, help win the fight,
Show me the way, Lord, help me achieve,
Forgive my sins, Lord it is you I receive,
Lord, help me to make a brand new start,
Lord, I accept you please come into my heart,

The Lord answered my prayers when he came into my life,
He forgave all my sins, relieved my worries and strife,
But he told me one thing, and this I shall never forget,
My child do not live your life with regret,
Live your life if there's no tomorrow,
No time for pain, grief or sorrow,
One day in Heaven you shall rejoice,
But the life you live now it is your choice,
You can choose to be happy, joyous or glad,
You can choose to live life and take the good with the bad,
To you my child I give my unconditional love,
Only the kind that comes from Heaven above,
Take with you these things you have learned,
Teach them to others and Heavens riches you've earned,

Life's Lessons and Heavens reward,
All in a days work of our most precious Lord

Amorous Stare

Gazing into your eyes,
Losing myself in time
It's similar to a lullaby,
That you are told at bedtime

In a state of trance,
Not caring about much
You are not only worthy of a glance,
But also a tender touch

You hold my gaze,
With such gentle eyes
I am in a daze,
Losing all track of time

Then you smile,
Eyes sparkling so bright
I ask you to stay awhile,
Please stay with me tonight

Blinking like the stars,
Your eyes are occupied with splendour
You are my lodestar,
With eyes so tender

Okay i just realized it had to be religious. So here it is
by the way I wrote this along time ago, so it is poorly written in poetry form, but there is something about it I like, which is why I still choose to submit it.

(a reason)

I watch the sunrise
the birds fly by
at the moment
my only Friend
seems to be the roof
of my club house
that I choose to sit upon

So I ask my self as I sit here and wonder
Why is the sky so blue?
Not that I care about the weather
or even the the atmosphere
Spheres
Why is the world so round?
Or all the other planets?
Not that I care about logic
or even really want to know why

Why does the clear ocean water look so blue?
I put some in a jar
and looked at it from a distance
still no satisfaction
Not that I care
I just want to fly through time

I want things to make sense without a reason
Like I love God
And I didn't need a reason

come on poets join in

Hell's Heaven vs. Heaven's Hell

A knife piercing sorrow's skin
Pills sliding down an innocent throat
A man pulling the trigger to finish what he started
Satin looks down upon Hell's Heaven

A bruise on a child forms from her mother
A heart breaks from lover's past
The last drop of beer fills a child's head
Satin looks up at Hell's Heaven

A kiss goodbye when they just said hello
a woman is at the mercy of man and lust
Smoke fills a child's tree house
Satin is not yet satisfied

Two people go six feet under
As the cause of a man's favorite drink
A baby's life has ended before it begun
By the decisive decision of a parent
A dreamer sets out to make his dreams
Reality
Satin will never be satisfied

God looks down upon this world he has created
Wondering why he did
Watching the live's of his people
Being destroyed by a sweeet kiss
From the lips of Satin
God fights back
To save this Hell

A broken heart is mended by a lover's melody
A wound too deep is healing well
A soul has been saved from the depths of Hell
God is fixing his Hell

A child finds her mother once again
A baby is born with a miricle
Cancer has left the body of a friend
God is pleased with his progress on his Hell

Breath is restored to a loved one lungs
A life has ended happily with a song
Lust has been banned from a man's life
God is almost done fixing his Hell

A boy puts the bottle down for good
A daughter and father fix a relationship
A man joins a woman for love, not for money
God is satisfied with his Heaven

Satin has lost once again

come join in poets

I usually don't write religious poems, but here it goes:

Her Own Angel

Her own angel
Slides down
From the Heavens
She won't frown

It tells her
Stories of past
Tells her it's time
Time at last

She joins the angel
Upon her wing
And listens to
The angel sing

The angel is dark
Leaves no more breath
This lonely angel
Is the angel of Death

The girl awaits
Her destiny
But the girl
Can no longer see

The land is dark
The air is hollow
Into the fire
This girl must follow

The angel guides her
Into her fate
She would be happy
If she did not hate

"The hate has changed you,"
The angel recalls
As she lays eyes on
The most hated of all

The one she killed
The one she desired
What could have fueled
This deadly fire?

She said she loved him
But rejection was too much
So she had to hurt him
With only touch

She says she's sorry
The angel awaits
She brings her to
A golden gate

The Chapters Vol.1

Hate unwreaketh my house und home,
Let be the 'holy' one to flame unknown,
Poisoned gates awaits thee,
Stricken sabbath sendeth me

Seven days tormented I,
Mortal minutes passeth by,
Lit upon the wicked wick,
My hope melted like a candle stick

Let he who forceth my wreckoning,
Be burnt unto the earth,
Yet thee who accept my divinity,
Have riches of earths girth

Send forth your golden chariots,
And riders of the son,
But let be known false idol he,
My word it shall be done

As it is written

Xx Half Empty Or Half Full xX

Is your glass half empty or half full?
What do you do when on you life pulls?
Do you look on the bright side with a smile?
Or do you feel low for a little while?

Do you always let the world get you down?
Or do you just say 'Everything goes around'?
Or are you optimistic in everything you do?
And just wait for life to give you your cue?

Are you happy with the way things are going?
Always have a smile that's pleasant and glowing?
Or do you always let the bad times take over?
Always depending on that old lucky clover?

Do you try having a positive state of mind?
Always take the time to calm down and unwind?
Or do you get worked up, jittery and stressed?
And never take the time out to have a little rest?

Is your glass half empty and leaving you drained?
Leaving you feeling so blank and detained?
Just look at your glass and picture it half full
And envision yourself in paradise's pull ©

To Better Days
By: Twisted Heart

Though you walk upon your broken dreams
As heartache fills your soul
You may find a hurt too painful
That has found no hope to hold

As the tears of all your heartache
Comes to rest upon your cheek
And no comfort can be found inside
The wounds of love so deep

You may question your own sanity
At times you can't find faith
As sure as you are broken by
The trials you have to face

And troubles tend to pile up
They are more than you can bear
Remember there is someone who
Will tend your heart with care.

In prayer you find surrender
To the loss you sometimes face
To give you understanding
With his defining grace.

You just lay all of your burdens
At his feet then turn away
And face a brand new future
A life of better days.
