Xx First Song xX

The moon is climbing up into the sky
Slowly, surely as the night goes on
Reaching its place amongst the cosmos
In control of the heavens before the dawn

The moonlight glistens upon the foliage
Casting patterns of a silver rainbow
A ball of fluff rolls from the leaves
Two jade gems gleam a naughty glow

The cubs are out for the very first time
Five feather tails brushing side to side
Nosing in the shrubbery and undergrowth
Their mother watches with worry and pride

Two cubs observe the moon with suspicion
The white globe casting spells on their fur
The night's melody tingles across their ears
Causing their small vocal chords to stir

One by one, their small noses point upwards
Tipped ears perk up, fragile yet strong
Harmonious howls and shrill acute barks
As the wolf cubs sing their very first song

The moon conducts this debut recital
As the twinkling stars cast a beautiful sheen
The cubs sing 'til the night comes to an end
The breathtaking song of a small wolverine

Hoochie and the Pool Table Part 2

Friday nights are always fun when you have me around;
Trying to keep things quiet without uttering a sound.
"We're just shooting pool." You tell that to everyone;
Knowing full well that you're about to have some fun.

Outside laying on the grass, you cast a glance my way-
I laugh silently to myself, knowing it's Friday.
It was still early, and much too nice outside;
But you were the one who went into the basement to hide.

You came back up when they went inside, looking for me,
As I stood there, fighting to shoot the BB.
You held my waist as I shot the yellow can;
Then you took the gun right out of my hand.

Throwing it on the ground, you looked in my eyes;
Then it hit me and then I realized.
You took me into your arms and held me tight;
Baby, if this is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

You stood there kissing me, but I wanted something more;
So I went to the hammock, this was different than before.
You followed me, knowing what was going on in my head;
You tried to speak, but I didn't hear what you said.

After kissing me there, your friends came out;
They knew what we were all about.
So you got up, and gave me that one look;
Baby, I can read you like a book.

I let you lead the way as I followed close behind -
We both looked at the pool table, and I knew what you had in mind.
Then you picked me up and spun me around;
I tried so hard not to make a sound.

When you put me back down, I sat in the chair;
You looked at me as if it wasn't fair.
I don't know who started it, on the pool table, I mean;
But thinking back, nothing is what it seems.

We had more fun this time because your friends left us alone;
You were the one to set the mood; I was the one with the tone.
We alternated control; Oh, what fun we had!
You never thought in a million years that I could be that bad.

I can still remember just the way you tasted -
We spent over an hour together, not time wasted.
Your whiskers tickled my pale neck;
You left me laying there, a huge wreck.

Time flew by and all at once, I had to go.
It felt as if I had just uttered a "Hello."
Never could I imagine I'd feel this way about you -
But Baby, it's Hoochie and the Pool Table, Part 2!

Love please

In The Nightside Of Eden (Sonnet I)by Bryan

A garden alas, my soul is left in,
As I write a sonnet to my broken heart,
Love verses hate, which will win?
May it will heal after being torn apart.

Find true love, so I can finally embrace,
The time as it rolls by, maybe it will heal,
The thought of my lips upon her pretty face,
Become whole again, so I can then feel.

Feel the touch of her hand, locked in mine,
But the torture I've endured, all the pain,
Like love and hate that is forever entwined,
So much anger and hate, I cant explain.

So In The Nightside Of Eden I'll forever wait,
For love to come, while I deal with hate.

Sonnet- a 14 lined poem of rhyme (abab etc. abba etc.)
first 8 lines ask a ? the last 6 answer it.

Undecided well its life really but you have put it up....

The Curse..

Bubbling cauldron; the air is dead,
The floors are black, the sky is red.

Preparing the spell to end all,
This curse will make most people fall.

A black cat, with red eyes strides across,
A little old lady sitting there clutching her cross.

Turning to the lord, what is their fate?
After its done, where shall she be placed?

Shes scared, shes worried, but it has to be done,
After all what has the world become?

Evil, walking zombies, unconsciously feeding wealth,
Its the right thing to do, she reassures herself.

She begins her chant singing her song
What happens after, where does she belong?

BOOM
BANG
CRASH................................................

Down goes everyone whose living slavery,
Along comes food for people in poverty.

Smiles are spread across the world,
No more aids in little boys and girls.

Out goes the prime minister, bye bye Tony Blaire,
In come the people who truly do care.

Out come the soldiers who are in Iraq,
The people who died over there all come back.

The little old man who lives alone,
Is helped by the lady who walks him home.

People speak freely and can finally see,
They can speak up with the curse of world peace.

erm please comment if you have this is a real change for me lol. thank you xxx Alex xxx

Superman's Dead (Revised)
By: Bryce Dressler

Johnny James Smith
had straight A's in school.
Class president every year
he never broke the rules.

He was in the coolest clique,
never got in fights.
But his friends never saw him
after school at night.

Every problem thrown his way
he fought it to the end.
His family and friends
nicknamed him superman.

Saving damsels in distress
standing up for the weak.
He had the intelligence of a genius
the room quite when he'd speak.

But nobody knew what happened
late every single night.
When Johnny was caught in the middle
of his mother and father's fight.

Every day after school
Johnny would walk home alone.
Come home to his parents,
to a family with a heart of stone.

Objects were thrown
as they fly across his face.
He tried so hard to please
but he was seen as a disgrace.

His grades would start to slip
and he would fight even more.
But the harder he fought
the harder he fell to the floor.

Friends began to leave him
people ignored him as he spoke
as hard as he tried to fix it all
his life was only a heartless joke.

Bottles and knives still flying
from one room to the next.
Giving up on everything else
he took advantage of one object.

Falling to the floor
as he remembered the years
brought down to hopelessness
to a flow of transparent tears.

With his last remaining minute
he reached for a paper and pen.
Leaving a note for whoever cared
or cared for a life that had been.

Days had past since then
before he was found
his parents killed each other
the house no longer made a sound.

Old friends came again
to see the horrible site
Not soon after did they find the note
that the young boy did write.

Everyone held their breath
as the note was slowly read.
Written with four crimson words
"Your Superman is Dead."

(C) 2007 Bryce Dressler

I Want You {Dark}

I once wanted nothing more
Than just to be with you
But one day I woke up
And you said we were through

I felt so confused
I didn't want to believe
You were the one who promised
You would never leave

You said you would
Always be mine
That you would be with me
Until the end of time

But now you're gone
And I feel so sad
I want you, Baby,
I want you bad

I wish you could see
The pain in my eyes
This longing inside
For your demise

I cannot get this yearning
Out of my head
I want you, Baby,
I want you... DEAD!

My stomach's churning, hands are trembling.
My whole body's nervous, It's been so long.
My eyes are watering, nose turning red...
I hope this time I am not misled.

It's been fifteen months since I last seen you.
A million stars away, with a barren heart.
I heard it's not too easy on the other side..
It's not my fault, your life was already defied.

I understand where you're coming from,
losing your wife and your two children.
It must have been hard, being all alone..
It was hard for me, but you're on your own.

No where to go, no one to comfort,
A million stars away with a barren heart.
This is where I was lead, back into your arms.
This is where I will leave, please don't alarm.

It's your choice, doesn't happen to be mine.
I have been waiting extremely too long.
Just tell me the answers this very day,
and if you choose I will go away.

Just, please, take this one little thing to mind.
For the last fifteen months I have given
all I can give, to keep what that of which is mine.
For now you might just say, " Okay, Fine."

But, I assure you that someway, somehow.
One of these lonely days you, also..
Will do what I did, maybe even better.
But, until then, Father.. I leave you this letter.

At Least I Know I'm A Sinner {Kryielle Sonnet}

At Least I Know I'm A Sinner

Stash the money and the drugs,
I'm a pimp and I'm the winner,
Tell me I'm wrong, I'll shrug,
At least I know I'm a sinner.

Quick, figure out a place to hide,
The cops are not out to dinner,
Cover the blood of your bride;
At least I know I'm a sinner.

Dance Revolution; hit the floor,
The cops are not out to dinner.
In this place all filled with w|h|o|r|e|s;
At least I know I'm a sinner.
Stash the money and the drugs,
At least I know I'm a sinner.

--------------------------------------

AabB, ccbB, ddbB, AB -or- AbaB, cbcB, dbdB, AB.
Each line within the Kyrielle Sonnet
consists of only eight syllables.

Genre=Love.
-------------------------------------------------------
Unfaithful

She takes his hand as they walk side by side
Caressing his hand, their love they can not hide
Under the moonlight, such a lovely night
To be here now, it just feel right

She doesn't know what he has planned
Kissing her softly, as they sit on the sand
A picnic is waiting, already set out
He longs for an answer, a "yes" without a doubt

He hands her a gift, "Happy valentines day"
As she opens it, all her worries fly away
He takes her hand and gets on his knees
"I love you Sarah, will you marry me please?"

She jumps up and screams out "Yes!"
He kisses her sweetly, she is his Princess
He will always lover her and never be unfaithful
For she will be his wife, his little Angel.

The Lost Souls Of Titanic

Upon pure ocean waters, a ship of dreams set sail,
Unsinkable the titanic soared gently across the sea,
Unknown to all surroundings, this pearl ship was frail,
A glistening beauty underneath heavens lusting sky,
While straying gently into the darkened night of destruction.

Elaborate stars shined romantically over the vessel,
As night was brought upon, and destiny awaited,
Heavens gates slowly opened up, as god stated,
"Follow the golden stairway", and silently he waited
While heavens angels where brought to him above.

Hitting a deathly iceberg titanic slowly began to sink,
Leaving many souls trapped upon the beautiful ship,
As silently with no one around this boat went down,
And with an oceans wave, gods angels began to drown,
As they gave there hearts to the weeping ocean.

The lost souls of titanic now travel upon the ship,
Still seeking misery for the death of there hearts,
Floating within the waters accepting there fate,
While many still live on with there soul mate
As they dance as souls across the ballroom floor.

If you would like to put it in the friendship one that would be okay. you can also put it in the mic. section. :)

Losing My Skin (sadness/depression)

I wake up each night
As the lights are newly dying,
I put on my elaborate face
And sadly walk out the door.

I arrive at my life
Where people come to watch me,
They sit and stare at me
As all my skin falls off.

I am exposing my soul to them
While shown in bright lights,
Bare and beautiful
They don't see who I really am.

The men see a woman
Taking off her clothes for pleasure,
But that is not my story
Nor is it how I feel.

I was fired from my job
I needed the money,
So behind this fake smile
Is a tortured soul.

Eeek! lol
i'm so glad you liked First song enough to win!! =)
It's my fave one i've ever written =)

Explicit:
It only hurts when I'm breathing

Understand how you suffocate me,
and the pain you put me through.
It only hurts when I'm breathing,
Your scent kills if I'm next to you.

Just leave me the hell alone
the air is just to much to take
one more breath of your scent
and my lungs will surely break

Get the hell away from me!
Why don't you, can't you realize:
You've intoxicated the atmosphere,
With your f**king putrid lies.

You're giving me f**king cancer
Through what's left of my soul.
What's worse is what you took,
and how my innocence you stole.

It only hurts when I'm breathing..
But I can survive without breath,
So f**k you and everything you did,
Your actions will not cause my death.

Congrats guys =) well done
