Xx Side By Side, Heart To Heart - Sestina xX

A beautiful maiden standing beneath the night
sky. Smiling softly at her one true love.
The one to which her heart belongs.
Something precious and true is taking place
as their eyes meet across the dew speckled foliage. It's time
to seal forever and always with a kiss.

So many things can be said with a mere delicate kiss.
They are silhouetted by the shimmering stars of the night
that twinkle in unison. Keeping in time
with the melody of love.
The enchanting requiem of such a magical place
where these powerful, wondrous emotions belong.

It's not difficult to tell these two souls belong
together as one. You can see the sparks, the devotion, as they kiss,
feel the passion in the soft breeze, as the exchange takes place.
In the safe and peaceful haven that the night
provides. It's the exchange of their love
that will last until the end of time.

The maiden smiled, a slow sweet smile, reminding him of the time
he first saw her face, when he realised his heart belongs
with hers. That he was made to love
and cherish her and only her. It was proved to him when a kiss
was placed on his lips, on the first night
they spent together. In this same enchanting place.

One year later, they returned hand in hand, side by side, heart to heart to this place
where dreams come true. Where they kissed for the first time.
They exchanged their vows under the deep blue and black night
sky, stars twinkling above. Two hearts that belong
together, two souls combined, made official with a sweet kiss,
symbolising true love.

Night comes to an end as dawn breaks blessing where love
belongs, where it was born in such a majestic and beautiful place.
Time holds no boundaries when a love like this is sealed with a kiss.

Sestina - is a strict ordered form of poetry, dating back to twelfth century French troubadours. It
consists of six six-line (sestets) stanzas followed by a three-line envoy. Rather than use a rhyme
scheme, the six ending words of the first stanza are repeated as the ending words of the other five
stanzas in a set pattern. The envoy uses two of the ending words per line, again in a set pattern.

First stanza, ..1 ..2 ..3 ..4 ..5 ..6
Second stanza, ..6 ..1 ..5 .. 2 ..4 ..3
Third stanza, ..3 ..6 ..4 ..1 ..2 ..5
Fourth stanza, ..5 ..3 ..2 ..6 ..1 ..4
Fifth stanza, ..4 ..5 ..1 ..3 ..6 ..2
Sixth stanza, ..2 ..4 ..6 ..5 ..3 ..1

Concluding tercet:
beginning of first line ..2, end of first line ..5
beginning of second line ..4, end of second line..3
beginning of third line ..6, end of third line ..1

Ohh.
I'm so glad I doubled checked.
I had it done like a month ago! Loll.
I forgot to enter it. :/

Stuck In The Moment.

An addictive new feeling eating your flesh and bones,
boy what's the use? It's leaving you all alone.
You're stuck in a moment, a moment too soon.
Can't you see she's not ready to be with you?

The cupped chair holds her softly as she
tends to let it slip, " I can't, I just can't..be in love with you."
Oh, the overwhelming feeling causes you to tremble,
as you pretend to be so utterly humble.

How can it be that you've rapidly let it pass?
Her memories linger within the back of your mind,
Never letting them out, for you're way past the top.
You've overcome the silence that settles between,

She's too cold, she's too bare. baby, she's not there.
You know I love you, so why do you tend to run too far away,
searching for the shadows deep within your soul,
thinking they're all you have, but the truth you'll never know.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! :]

Writing it now, Hun. Sorry, been busy but I will get it in for you.

Paint a Smile on My Face

Shards of broken stars fall; piercing into my broken heart,
As the Angels of Death cackle; trying to break me apart,
And my ears are pulsing to the horrid sound of their words,
Strewn across the bloody sky; I stand at the end of the world.

They throw me to the ground; kick black dirt into my face -
Laughing and pointing as they watch me fall from grace,
And there's an already dug grave in the corner of the sea,
As I stand at the bottom in the ropes and chains of mediocrity.

The moon shines down; a spotlight on the final scene,
And they burn what they said; light it up in kerosene,
But their hearts flutter as they watch me beg for peace -
Paint a smile on my face and start to solemnly feast.

Metaphoric for the sense of the harm that others words can do. So, the Angels of Death would be society and those opposed to the way others live their life.

When will this be judged?

Yeah i know. but i am just bored.

I have to agree, lol. i have become a little chubby.

I can't believe this has been forgotten.
*sigh*

Lol, trust me, these contests (four of them) that I held were most INDEFINITELY NOT forgotten. They were on my mind constantly (I really have nothing better to think of...). My computer's were all just... broken, for lack of a better word. ATM I'm on a working computer! It's a miracle! Yes, the computer is fixed. When this website went down for that random week, I went crazy with boredom and my dad actually had let me use the computer that week too, and I was pissed to no end! So, I went and downloaded LIMEWIRE, and put a virus on my computer (for like, the tenth time) and blah blah blah you know the deal... So, I will judge all my contests tonight (Oh, the life of an Insomniac...) So by no means was this contest, nor any of the other's, forgotten.

Thanks, Results will be posted soon (like, ASAP) =]
