3 Rounds...Bring Your Best!

CLOSED! CLOSED! CLOSED! CLOSED!
JUDGING WHEN ALL POSTS ARE MADE!

Hey Guys,
I've really liked the idea of doing contests with more than just one round. I think that's pretty awesome. So I decided to do one of my own. But I'm only going to describe the first round right now and then if you make it beyond that I'll explain later. Sound good?
Ok...the first round is extremely easy. There are 15 spots to reserve. And the poems can be just about anything. Here are the rules:

Rules:
~ No profanity (except hell b/c it can mean other things than swearing)
~ No explicit poetry
~ Can be old or new
~ No religion based poetry
~ If you enter and make it through...PLEASE stick to it and don't forget about it.
~MUST RESERVE!!!

I'm gonna warn you now though that no one gets a comment unless they win the whole thing...but if you do win then you get 15 comments and a place on my favs. Hope that sounds good to yah. Oh! and I promise that the other rounds aren't going to be very hard...so don't worry about not knowing what they are yet...I'm just doing that to avoid confusion. And there are only 5 spots in the next round...so bring me your best! :)
The judging of the first round will begin when all places are reserved. Have fun!!! :)

Chaotic Mind
~Brittney Schmelter~

Silent screams and unshed tears,
Chaotic thoughts and untold fears.
Secrets hidden throughout the years,
Deadly scars and broken mirrors.

Perfectly painted death-filled dreams,
Hidden behind her hollow screams,
Smells of all her twisted lies,
Horrific paintings start to arise.

Blood filling every pore,
Blinding pain like never before,
A tortured heart cries in pain,
A penetrating scream of the insane.

Cruel actions decorate her skin.
Fighting a battle, no one can win,
Whispering wishes, no one can hear,
Chaotic smiles start to appear.

Bloody cuts, a broken soul,
A Chaotic Mind has no control.
Hysterical screams pierce the silence,
Reality gone, thoughts of violence.

Chaotic mind, no memory,
Only one thought of a remedy.
Lovely gun, you're so kind,
Tragic end of a Chaotic Mind.

oooh, I've never read your stuff Brittney S. Looking forward to it! :)
~Midnight Sun

Wow! Is Payne your first name? If so I'm pretty sure you were born to write! It sounds so forlorn, lol...looking forward to reading your work! :)
~Midnight Sun

Read your work Payne :) Very good. But on this line:

I'm sick of hinding behind these walls of lies

Didn't you mean hiding?

Once, there was a girl
A sweet caring girl
Who's heart
belonged to the night.
The moon was her lover
The sun
her mother
and the stars were her friends
Til the end of time
She stopped coming at night
to hang out with her friends
So she could be in some ones bed
So he could caress
her hair and her head.
The moon got lonely
The sun was worried
and the stars wouldn't come out to play
Because the boy took her away.
He kept her to himself,
not letting her out to play.
But instead
Make her stay inside at night and play
His little fantasy games
Her life became hopless
One big mess
And soon, her heart belonged
To the boy
She tried to get it back
but he hit her again for his joy
So she left just like that
And she packed up a sack
Of the pieces of the heart that was left
But he came after her
Wanted to be sure
She couldn't go back to her past life
she got bruised
just because
he was amused
And soon, her heart was given to the sky
So the moon shine bright
To shed some light
So he can find his lover
While the sun gives off heat
so she won't meet
any cold air
And the stars frolic in the sky
wondering
about the girl
who belonged
to the night.

Hey Making Memories? Umm, just for future reference...can you reserve next time...cause if I didn't catch that then it could of messed up all the other reserves...thanks! :)

No Reason to Stay (But I Can't Let Go)

You pushed me away then took me back.
I feel like I'm tied down to the tracks.
I cry over you then say that I'm fine.
Can't let you go yet can't claim you as mine.

How many times must you rebreak this heart?
Put me together than pull me apart?
I never fight you. I lack that strength.
Somehow I feel you're still right for me.

Despite the bruises lingering inside
Or all the sorrow I still try to hide,
Not one person makes me feel as you do.
I act like there's no one for me, but you.

In front of the mirror I try calling to mind
The reasons I hold on. But them I can't find.
There's no tangible answer to why I'm stil here.
You don't really love me, never did I fear.

With everything telling me it's time to let go
I cling even tighter, and why I don't know.
You've got a piece of my soul chained to the ground.
I try moving on but forever I am bound.

You are the villain, yet the hero in my life.
All the reasons I'm wrong, all the reasons I'm right.
I wish I could find one shred of evidence to love
But the only thing I have is you're all I think of.

Please reserve me :)

Reserve, please. will be right back with my poem.

thanks, Jeannie

reserve me, please

I'll Be There For You
by ~BRiDDY~

I'll be your perfect wings,
when you need help soaring through the sky.
My shoulder will always be here,
when you're down and need to cry.

I'll bring you rainbows and sunshine,
when skies over you are grey.
I'll be your handy tool-box,
at the end of a broken day.

When no one else is around,
I'll be the crowd who cares about you.
I'll help you make decisions,
when you don't know what to do.

I'll help you back onto your feet,
if you happen to stumble and fall.
My hand is here to hold if you get scared,
all you need to do is call.

I'll be your loudest cheerleader,
when things are going great for you.
And when your life is one big lie,
you can rely on me to stay true.

All these things I'll do and be for you,
are all part of being a friend.
I'll be your friend through thick and thin,
and NONE OF IT will be pretend.

Self Worth

Her life was a battlefield, everything hurting
The greatest things disappeared, the pain never ending
Friends with their problems came running to her
Nobody could see that she had no self worth

Each day, the mirror was a mind control tube
The TV a pulpit, obeying the news
Feeding her mind with disgraceful things,
Her thoughts kept on circling in a meaningless ring

Each day was another, always lost fight
Everything wrong, nothing seemed right
Her mother would hit her, but nobody knew
She couldn't trust anyone, except for a few

Upbringing bitter, nobody could see
The struggle within herself, a need to be free
She started at nine, and worked herself up
Searching for treasure, a thing some call love

Her heart kept on aching, she never felt liked
She hated her family, just out of spite
Calling her names, her mom couldn't see
The person her daughter would grow up to be

The battlefield rages, each day is different
Sometimes she's happy, sometimes she quits
Over the years, will she break her curse?
All she needs to win is to find her self worth.

Little Girl and Your Tears
by Twisted Heart

Little girl,
I see you crying
As you sit upon the ground
Tears falling
From you sadden eyes
Soft whimpers, the only sound

As you sit
I see you searching
There among the silent stars
Hoping for
someone to come
And tell you who you are.

Now I see
You have been broken
And your heart is very weak
Your soul is
full of doubts and fears
The pain is yours to keep.

Little girl
You have a hunger
Its more than you can bear
No changing
Of the moments
Or the memories you shared.

You feel lost
Inside the darkness
Of a hole to big to mend
I know the pain
That you are feeling
For I've been there, my friend.

So a teardrop
falls with grace
Upon your cheek so fair
A constant
To the hurt you feel
Inside your heart it tears.

Little girl
Though you are weeping
In your pain there comes relief
To all the loss
You're feeling now
The tears will stay your grief.

A comforting
That gives you peace
Inside your soul that died
Blanketing
The brokenness
With each new tear you cry.

La, La, Lie {Triquatrain}

I will laugh if you'll sing, I'll bite if you'll sting --
Let's play this game of ignorance to the dime.
I'll smile if you'll shout, I'll hush if you'll pout --
Let's start a game of malice to pass the time.
I'll masquerade to balls; you'll crumble and fall;
Shout out discomfort with childish wishes.
I will laugh if you'll sing, I'll bite if you'll sting --
This is a la, la, lie -- suck up your kisses.

Xx Lips Of An Angel xX

Those lips of an angel get me every time
So luscious and soft and so heavenly
They start to move closer until they brush mine
Kissing me softly and so sensually
I start getting tingles up and down my spine
As you lay me down on the pillows gently
You smile and tell me you love me so much
Still driving me crazy with your teasing touch

Those lips of an angel are smiling so sweet
Lulling me into a state of sheer bliss
Whispering sweet words, my heart skips a beat
Feels like I'm falling in a love filled abyss
If this was a tape I'd keep it on repeat
I just want to stay locked in your angel kiss
This whole entire night just feels so surreal
These feelings I have, I just can't conceal

Those lips of an angel now start to explore
I bask in the pleasure your teasing provides
As our clothes fall into a heap on the floor
I love the feeling as our skin collides
Feeling a sensation I've not felt before
It's all because of this love you've supplied
I reach out and trace the smile on your face
I feel so lucky wrapped in your embrace

Those lips of an angel now kiss me with care
And then we begin and it just feels so right
You've shown me that there's no need to be scared
I look deep in your eyes and hold you so tight
Then my body feels like it's floating on air
And I've reached a place where my heart takes flight
We lay close together, bodies intertwined
Those lips of angel get me every time ©

I'd like to reserve please!

I'll Always Be There

Take a few minutes
And look out your window
In the dark of the night
You will see a special glow

And if you look into the moon
You may see a beautiful face
For that's how you make her feel
You've taken her to a special place

And as she looks down upon you
Try to hear the lyrics in her heart
Words filled with passion
Feelings as two lovers are apart

She thinks you are the best
For you are the handsomest in her eyes
But you have a powerful inner soul
Just thinking of you leaves deep sighs

So, as you are pushing her away
Know this within your heart
She has many wonderful memories
Treasure she will, as you two part

And I dare you to try
Counting the stars out of touch
The brightest to say "I Love You"
And millions others reminding how much

And if she ends up there tomorrow
Her feelings will never change
Simply close your eyes
She'll forever be in close range.

Ooh, can I reserve a spot please?

Eternally In Love With You
by J.E.S.S.Y

Engulfing feelings held safely within
Rapid heart palpitations revealing all fears
Shimmering sweat glowing upon supple skin
Swiftly the emotion she dreads firmly appears..

Fading minds cling to each blissful thought
Tender lips yearn for a lover`s delicate caress
Crippling a heart in effort; her love she fought
Each piece of a broken soul, left weeping in distress..

Racing pulses capture veins, desire tingles on skin
Nervous smiles flutter on lips; a glance she must pursue
Longing rushes over souls; every second between like a sin
Sealed with a kiss; she realizes she`s eternally in love with you..

can i resrve?
thanks alot

May I reserve?

Don't Move On
by Bri [x]

We're crazy in love; like one of those forbidden romance movies.
So incapable of being indissoluble [strings attached].
Spend our days at the beach & nights by the moonlight.
Compatible; most people say [so perfectly matched].

..... (Don't move on) .....

Love; so deep nothing can stand in the way.
Conquering all mistakes, everything that goes wrong.
Happiness overwhelms our souls [like a cup over flowing].
Spinning in circles around each other to our favorite song.

..... (Don't move on) .....

Laughing endlessly, splashing around in the water.
Whispering adulating words in each others ears.
Cuddling by the warmth of sweet scenting candles.
Keeping one another safe from their fears.

..... (Don't move on) .....

Noticing; it's not only fairy tales or made up stories.
Wishes, fantasies, prayers, & dreams really do come true.
The man that has always accompanied me in my dreams,
I've come to find, that man was you.

..... (Don't move on) .....

Hurry! Only two chances left to make it to the next round!!! :)

Heres mine

Weight of the World

All these thoughts in my head,
Are being portrayed,
As I lift up my wrist,
And lower my blade,

As the tears subside,
The night ends in bliss,
Why did this happen,
My wounds never hurt like this,

Something has come upon me,
The pain so absurd,
Feels like the weight of the world,
Like all my screaming has gone unheard,

As the tears subside,
The night ends in bliss,
With no one to say goodbye,
My knife gives me my last sweet kiss

Reserve!

Now this poem.. i guess could be considered 'explicit' because it is about drugs, but i'll let you be the judge.. (if it is please tell me and i will replace it!!)

Falling Star Quarterback
by Sociopathetic [Lauren]

It started with an injury from,
A tackle at a football game.
If only someone could have known
His life would soon be down the drain.

Rushed to the nearest hospital,
Doctor said he'd recover in due time
Just some broken bones, a busted knee.
A few months he should be fine.

Quarterback in a wheelchair,
Rolling through the busy halls.
Who would have known those painkillers,
Would lead to this star's downfall?

He began to become addicted
He needed his precious pills.
And so began his rollerroller coaster
Of twists and turns and spills.

He tricked his loving mother,
And lied to dear old Dad.
"I never took four pills this morning.
I swear, only two is what I had."

An error from the pharmacist they thought,
So although he was no longer in pain,
His prescription was renewed again,
And selling drugs became his game.

His teammates became the clients,
In his illegal, in-school trade,
And since his meds were very strong,
He became wealthy with what he made.

And with the money that he got,
from selling the meds to his friends,
He bought different, new and very powerful drugs.
You could tell tragedy would soon impend.

Soon enough his supply got scarce
His doctor would no longer prescribe,
So without the money he earned,
The money he owned he couldn't provide.

They wanted, needed the money he owed,
And no matter how hard the kid tried,
From these veteran dealers,
The Star Quarterback couldn't hide.

Now he's back in the hosptal,
This time he's the one to blame.
In the end he'll probably make it,
But he will never be the same.

reserve me please!

Ciao

Made For Each Other
by `&& lOve*

A silent tear streams down her cheek
Fighting to be strong; accepting she's weak
Another one follows, until she can count no more
Her teary-eyed stare catches her drawer

A shudder, through her body, as she remembers what's inside
The pain she's holding close, she can no longer hide
She slowly gets up and opens the drawer
Hands shaking, she drops the notes on the floor

Collecting her wits as with all of the notes
She sits back down to look at what he wrote
All the memories come back and she's taken into the past
Back to a time when she thought they would last

As she reread the notes, the tears still dropped
She knew that the steam would never be stopped
After fighting the tears, she gave up, in vain
She knew there was no way to stop the pain

The folded notes, crease folded and torn
With letters and words, faded by worn
Each note, holding its own time frame
Each ending, showing the same exact name

''With Love'' or ''Yours''; endings meaning nothing now
Wishing things were different; wondering how
Wasted words, left nothing to be found
Wondering what life would be if he was around

Tears still flowing as she puts the notes back
Feeling in her heart, the place where she lacks
So as she sites back down, you can barely hear her mutter:
''But baby, I thought we were Made For Each Other.''

ok to `&& lOve* ... you're actually the 16th but I really like your poem and I was too slow to add everyone so that you knew there were no more spots...so I'll let yah in. But it's now officially closed so everyone have your stuff in by the due date!!! :)
