~Midnight Sun

Wow I cant take this any longer get your poems in people.. dont make me start PMing you

You haven't posted a deadline, so maybe that's why people have yet to submit their poems.

Unreserving please

I'm definately still planning on writing it...I just need some kind of inspiration first. Thanks again for your patience, and sorry everyone is taking so long. I'm having the same problem with my contest. (*sigh*) I guess we just have to roll with the punches, eh? :)
~Midnight Sun

Thats not a problem.. and im glad u liked the deadline.. I wanted it to be soon enough for the people who already had their poems in but I wanted to leave enough time for the other people to get theirs in.

Could i reserve: guilty if not proven innocent?

It must be "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" but yes you may reserve it

Undoing Rain

The rain beat her tattered face
And she traced the holes in her pant legs
Her tears were covered in broken lies
Along with the promises of a thousand others.

She counts the stars with in his eyes
As they blaze with a fire from hell
Knowing tomorrow may never be there
She listens to the words he yells.

Another night there she sits in the alley
As her black and blue face turns ice cold
He drinks his bottle of good ol' Crown Royal
And watches the television as it shows old re-runs.

The thunder rolls, and the lightning flashes
As she thinks of the broken smiles she has held
Knowing that undoing her past of pain
Is like undoing the rain itself.

i'm sorry this took me so long. totally forgot about it... its not my best. maybe i will fix it up some time. .. lol

Thanx for getting it in anyway you can try and fix it up if you want as long as its in b4 the last poem is.. if not I will use this one.. Im just getting sick of waiting and I want all of the poems in, soon.

Appetite for destruction RESERVED:))

There we go

Guilty Until Proven Innocent

her hands are stained
not with the blood of others
only her blood is pained
tainting her fingers

dripping and cold
she shivers in the loneliness of moonlight
waiting for life to grow old
waiting to fall

standing on the edge
trying to hold herself upright
trying not to slip on the ledge
it's not time yet

guilty of living her life
of yearning for purity
innocence, a knife
guilty of wishing for light

don't touch her
only she can help herself
she'll shatter
no one can put her back together

guilty of lying
she tells herself she's unbreakable
try to smile when she's crying
ignore her pain, it's all you can do

she turns her head
trying to stop the brightness in eyes
guilty of loving the dead
prove that she is worth dying for

innocence is white
red is the color of her blood
her heart gleaming silver, she will fight
she is innocence itself

ripples surrounding her cries
circling around and around
till she dies
everything in life is tied

she sleeps on the ground
snow falling to rest on her hair
guilty of wanting to be found
is it wrong to want to be loved?

tell her it's allright to cry
guilty until proven innocent
she does have a right to fly
show her how

Thanx for the fast response

I'm sorry.

Would like to do: Picture Box People

Thanks

Picture Box People
By: Twisted Heart

Scatters from the winds of change
Among debris life rearranged
Plastic people without souls
Transparent vessels aged and cold

Faded paper memories
Shattered glass of vacancy
Against the harshness of the frame
Tepid souls that time has claimed.

Smiles splash happy on the page
As distant dreams begin to rage
Inside the soul behind the eyes
Are shattered thoughts and battle cries

Now tossed upon the dusty dreams
Lost faces of transparency
Forever gone inside the depths
Of time that captured single breaths.

No life inside the photographs
Faded faces in broken glass
Boxed inside, their souls to see
Among the faded memories.

Thanx twisted.

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY TO GET THESE POEMS IN SO PLEASE MAKE IT FAST>

Xx Diamond in the Sand xX

Finding love in this lonely world
Was like finding a needle in a haystack
Discovering a diamond in the sand
Nailing jelly to a tree
Impossible...
Or so it seemed...

Something that just wasn't worth the effort
The countless disappointments
The tears...
The hurt...
Weighing down the fragile heart
When something that felt like love
Turned out to be a sham
A red herring

Love was something that was only found in the movies
In books
In the imagination...
A sort of pipe dream

But even pipe dreams can become a reality
Love can find you when you least expect it
When you cease looking
It springs out of nowhere
Like a long lost friend
A best friend
A lover

You find that needle in the haystack
And when you do, you realise it's something special
The real thing
Something worth waiting for

I found my diamond in the sand
And it's the most valuble diamond i could ever hope to own
It's you

*Gem*

Please reserve me, "Digitally Enhanced Heart". Thank you :)

Digitally Enhanced Heart

Robots cannot love,
Human hearts are worthless,
Neither is enough,
And the whole world is left clueless.

He found her in the trash,
Broken deep within,
She could not speak or laugh,
Her breathing was so thin.

He decided to repair her,
For he was an engineer.
Her body bruised and hurt,
That it almost brought him tears.

She finally opened her eyes,
Looking at the ceiling.
As her chest began to rise,
She felt her scars were healing.

He let out a little smile,
They introduced themselves,
The sun outside shone bright,
And she thanked him for his help.

Robots cannot love,
Human hearts are worthless,
Neither is enough,
And the whole world is left clueless.

One day the man was sad,
As he slowly said, "I'm home..."
The fixed robot was glad,
Although she was a drone.

"Work today was horrible;
The deadline was moved up.
The pressure was unbearable,
and I think I've had enough!"

The robot woman smiled,
And they sat down to eat.
The man said, "This taste's nice;
It's like you made a feast."

"Well, I made it just for you,
Because you've been so kind.
After all that I've been through,
You brought me back to life."

The robot was so happy,
To have someone that cared.
Since artificial eyes look glassy,
All she could do was stare.

He looked at her sweet face,
And her automatic smile.
This all seemed out of place,
For she was supposed to die.

Robots cannot love,
Human hearts are worthless,
Neither is enough,
And the whole world is left clueless.

Many years had passed,
And the two still lived together.
The man was growing older,
But the robot stayed the same forever.

One day, the man did tell her,
"I love you, oh so much,
I can't bear to see you hurt,
And I think I am in love."

The robot was so quiet,
And she told him, "Oh my sweet,
Sweet friend, I cannot hide it,
You make my words grow weak.

But I care for you a lot,
Although my heart is metal,
And I am a robot,
I'm glad you are so genial."

The two simply smiled,
A robot and a man.
Things are same left and right,
But it's nice to take a chance.

Perhaps robots can love,
And not risking might be worthless,
Both might be enough,
Though many are still clueless.
