Let's get started, eh?! :)

The Hourglass please

The Hourglass

Traipsing through this hourglass,
Time is slowly slipping,
Sand the memories of our days,
As though our soul is dripping.

Days of youth do slip away,
As time it carries on,
Then one day you wake up,
Your time is almost gone.

Have you said the things wish,
Your loved ones to remember,
Shall you leave a burning fire,
Or go out as an ember.

Will you find a shining path,
Or one that's paved with flames,
Is there nothing beyond here,
Our Gods just empty names.

No matter what the case may be,
Our love should bring about,
A treasure trove of pure emotion,
Before the sands run out.

Not a problem...I'll add you in case. Thanks for entering! :)

Tossed aside

*The poem mentions rape...but I thought it would be okay as it's not actually explicit, but about life...if it's not let me know and I'll change it.

Tossed Aside

Teenagers in misery, feeling so low
People on the streets, with nowhere to go
Dysfunctional family's, battered and broken
Hearts crying in pain, with cruel words spoken

Divided by gender, religion and race
People everywhere, falling slowly from grace
Children starving, nothing but skin and bones
No one to love them, nowhere to call home

Adulterous affairs suddenly starting
Husband or wife slowly departing
Innocents raped, battered and molested
The culprit never even gets arrested

People in need, never receiving help
Going insane, 'cause of pain that they've felt
Taking anger out on their friends and mother's
Friends turning on friends, sister's on brothers

Cracks in society, why they're starting to show
Doomed to repeat history, instead of learning to grow
Everyone guilty of that harmful sin, his name is Pride
Maybe that's the reason, Society's tossing us aside

So Here`s to Yesterday

I took a mirror to a picture of you last night,
Comparing the features I`ve come to love,
But from the right angle and the wrong light,
I could swear I seen your mouth move.
I thought it kind of funny at first, but then,
A reminder came over me to smarten up,
To learn from the past mistakes I`ve made;
`Cuz every time your mouth moves, you lie.
So I realigned my masqueraded composure,
Sat up straight and did my best to fix you --
I flashed a sympathetic smile so that maybe,
If my guilty conscience kicked in, it would see;
I`m not as cold hearted as I let off to be.
I stitched together your lips, closing them tight;
And I colored in your eyes, to make more sense --
Black for the blackest of all teenage hearts,
And permanent, so you`d never speak to me again.
I stabbed a knife into your back, twisting it in;
Hoping that it would hit a sensitive spot in you,
I tied a string around the handle of the knife,
So that I could play you like you played me.
I slurred out the best of lines I could think of,
All more vulgar than my sobriety led me to believe:
Poor judgment mixed with a little bit of alcohol,
It never did take me very far, did it?
`Cuz after all, it did bring me to the likes of you.
I`m a sucker for sweet talkers with bright eyes,
And Baby, you`ve got the whole package,
So it`s no question why I let myself fall, is it?
But when I took the time to catch myself,
Since we both know you weren`t going to,
I took the time to laugh at your intentions,
And what credibility you lost when you attempted them.
I know the places we went were pre-planned,
And the route in which you entwined your vines around me --
It was all in the deal, when I said that I loved you,
So how naive was I to fall for this game over and over,
When I seen the horns on your heart in the beginning.
I`m cutting the strings binding my heart to yours,
Leaving them free for my own amusement,
So that on a night where I`m feeling spiteful enough,
I can mess with your heartstrings, like you did to me.
You`re not the only heartbreaker in this room, kid,
Because at times like this, things are better in pairs;
Everyone knows, two heartbreaks make up for one;
So here`s to yesterday, when our hearts were whole,
And here`s to tomorrow, where there`ll be no you.

So here's to yesterday plz!

So Here's to Yesterday

There was a time I knew myself
What I wanted, and who I would be.
Now I look in the mirrored glass
And I see such a different me.

Barbie dolls and playgrounds have changed
Just a memory of the past
Mommy's kisses don't fix everything
Funny how innocence can't last

When my first time in trouble came around
I was scared and told you right away
But regret is easy to choke down
When your standards start to sway

I still remember my first love
He was my world at wild-eyed eighteen.
But time drew us from each other
To a place where the grass isn't so green.

People have a way of changing people.
I changed beyond what I pleased.
Now I'm stuck in the struggle to become
What at one time I wanted to be.

Sometimes on a bright sunny day
I can see that freckle-faced girl
Who believed in everything good and right
And thought she could conquer the world.

So I'm struggling with myself
To be that memory I have in frames
It's easier said than done, I fear
But will be accomplished all the same.

I'd like to remember my good times
Though sometimes shaded in grey
They keep me going when times get tough
So here's to yesterday.

All places are taken so when everyone's are in I'll judge...thanks! :) Oh and don't forget it ends this saturday!

Bleeding crimson rain

by NyellMoonlight

Magma waves cleanse the heart,
bleeding crimson rain my soul will sever;
traces of ashes moan to the confusion
cause this moment's ours- now and never.

Auras are melting through the laced gloves,
igniting crystals of frozen light;
crescent- shaped emotions neglect fears
slowly fading, disappearing from sight.

Would you be my guide, please
through the meadows turned to stone?
With the heart on the sleeve I surrender
while the fire rages in bones.

Scarlet venoms drip on silver spoons,
stars quiver last confessions;
hues of red entwine with the eyelashes,
drenching within satin expressions.

Magma waves cleanse the heart,
bleeding crimson rain my soul will sever;
traces of ashes moan to the confusion
cause this moment's ours- now and never.

Tossed aside

She shoots another guy
in her trash collection of cries
filled with only shattered hearts
as one just starts.

He's just another that shouts
but his love wont let him out
wrapped and tied down in lies
he watches miserably as others die.

The pain makes them rought
with black flattened hearts
there is no longer a mark of life
just one who ended in strife.

The wailing shrieks
of ultimate pain
are her favorite notes
as all go insane.

Dancing and smiling
to the climax of the song
they slowly die down
as time goes along.

She looks in her collection
as one stands alive
she picks it up
and tosses it aside.

Sorry, I know that I am late...

The hourglass

Painted with gray lies,
hourglass denotes imprecation...

With misty magic of the end,
we're running in the empty space,
the walls are engrained with obscurity.

And we're falling in the chasm of time...

Apparitions whisper about death,
this hollow graveyard is the last station,
on our bloody road of melting stars...

Sand of life leaks, slowly and painfully...

Under metal sky dancers speak about equality
but the truth tells other story, talking about faceless gods,
Judge holds the heart of a dragon in his golden hand.

Glow of destruction shines above our tattooed skin...

Painted with gray lies,
hourglass denote imprecation...

I think I'm still missing two but if they don't get theirs in I'll just have to go ahead and judge. I think I'll give them this weekend and then it'll be over since I'm gonna be out of town anyways. Thanks for all the entries and I'll be back to judge soon! :)
~Midnight Sun

And the winner is!!!

Hellon - Bleeding Crimson Rain!!! This contest was REALLY hard to judge, but I chose this one because the subject was unique. And the reference to Enola was very intriguing. I just loved it all around. Amazing job, Hellon. And thanks to everyone that entered...you're all incredible poets. So everyone will get one comment and Hellon will get 10 (which I'll get in asap). Thanks again and congrats Hellon!!! :)
~Midnight Sun

Congrats Hellon! Good poem!
