Utopia. (:

Utopia ;; an imaginary place considered to be perfect or ideal

What's your Utopia?
Write about it in a poem. (:

This contest ends October 15th.

My Utopia

A small secluded world of my own,
Uncorrupted by society's rules.
My heart has healed as though the scars were never there,
Your hurtful memory erased from my mind.
Love is left untarnished by the world of lost innocence outside,
My stars untouched by the destructive hand of man.
The thought of death is but a distant memory,
Angels of God sent to carry my soul to eternity.
This is my utopia.

My Utopia
by SecludedSerendipity

There's white puffy clouds; candyfloss galore.
It's completely eternal, and I just want more.
There's angels in the corner, their wings so pure;
A single glance and you have a cure
To all the heartache in your world today,
Turning it to bright colours from that old, sad grey.

There's fire over in that end, it's burning strong,
Yet despite the fact it clashes, it doesn't seem wrong.
My perfect word is dazzling, a place I know so well,
It's a little bit like Heaven, and a little bit like Hell.
Opposites attract, is that not what they say?
So my sacred place is just right in its own way.

If something has no flaws, it cannot be real;
At least in my place I can purely feel
The emotions that surround it, I know they're true,
It can't just be happy, we need a little sadness, too.
In my place I can smile, I can dance, I am free,
It's the only place in all the world where I can just be me.

I'll try for it.

Won't guarantee that I'll have it done, been having some problems with family and really busy with school.

I'll start writing it today!

I'm in ^^. Hope I'll make something u'll like. Good Luck to all the others as well.

Can this be one already written? I'll go ahead and post mine and then if you can't count it it's not a problem. :)

My Hollow Palace~

In this hollow place
My pen in hand
I write in the dark
I take a stand

I come to this "palace"
Just to get away
If it was possible
Here I'd forever stay

It brings me comfort
When I feel grief
Taking one breath here
Fills me with relief

Many see it empty
Only hollow halls
Instead of being captured
They stumble and fall

They see rubble and dirt
They see weeds not vines
But I do not care
For this place is mine

I fear the day it falls
For this is my home
But never in my mind will it
For I remember each stone

This place is my inspiration
It's my strength and my might
It warms my deepest parts
On winter's coldest nights

So maybe you too
Could one for you create
For it can be your haven
And help you escape

....hope you like it! :)

My Utopia =]

The sun will shine,
For a new day,
Beginning at a new world,
The mist will make a mystery,
of what ahead beholds,
The trees will hold as protection,
And the sky will let us believe,
Dreams are really true,
The long green, green grass,
Carries our freedom,
And the sun will hold our happiness,
There are no billows of dark clouds,
Gathering above,
Rivers and oceans are tame,
Like words of caring and loving,
When the sun begins to sink,
Toi wake another world,
The moon seeps out,
And welcomes the stars,
As we count the stars,
Sleep begins to creep,
No matter how much we elude it,
Our eyes begin to drop,
Dreamland comes through the door,
Perfect day and perfect world,
Only if its as real,
As the utopia world says.

Yes it can already be written.
The only rule that applies is it has to be about your utopia.

Paintful Dreaming

I know a dream is nothing but an image,
my image of what the world could be,
would be, maybe.
But to me, a dream is nothing but a memory,
of a future, that once was painted,
a prophecy, now tainted.

Yet every night i still dream my dream,
maybe a dolphin, a bird, a song,
because somehow i remember that to fly isn't wrong.
And every night they tempt me so,
paintbrushes dipped in the waves,
if only people would know, the life each color saves.

Sometimes i imagine i have wings,
pure black in the brightness of night,
then i forget how the pain hurts, and everything feels allright.
But sometimes i dream that they're chasing me,
i can only run so far,
and then i remember that it never works, when you wish upon a star.

And sometimes i see unicorns,
mermaids, wild and free,
and once again i wish i could swim forever in the sea.
Still, time must move on, we cannot sleep forever,
but when i wake up in my bed i cry,
for i do not want to say goodbye.

Once upon a time there was a girl,
who dreamed that she could smile,
maybe i will dream that dream, if i only wait awhile.
Maybe a dream of happiness is wishful thinking,
but as the washed up sea foam is streaming,
maybe it's just paintful dreaming.

It ends today. (:
I'll begin juding now.
It'll probably take a few days though, but maybe not. . . Lol.

Okay, I decided to make 4 winners out of the 7, because it just seemed fair.
