My Kinda Contest RD2

I decided to take a couple of my own titles and make a 3 round contest with them.

Here's how it's going to work: You pick a title from the list below (max 2 titles per person) and make a poem out of it. My title can either be your title or you can use my title as a line in your poem. But you CANNOT use it in both places (unless it is an acrostic poem - where the first letter of every line spells out the title).

Rules:
1: Max 2 poems per person
2: Max 2 per title
3: My title can be used as EITHER your title OR as a line in your poem, but NOT both (unless it's an acrostic poem) Points WILL be deducted!
4: Anything goes (style, rhyme, length and topic is up to you)
5: Have FUN and be creative!
6: Closing date for this round - 22 November 2007
7: 6 poems will go through to the next round.

Rounds:
RD2: 16 places - 6 advance
RD3: 10 places - top 3 (and HM) announced

This one's for--- RED ROSES FOR THE DEVIL'S WHORE

----Dying to Play His Game----
Fluently speaking heartache,
A soul with a love never felt.
She crawls on her hands and knees,
Searching for the ticket to hell.
Blood and screams, letter by letter,
In her body she carves his name.
She needs to feel his heartless love.
She's dying to play his game.
The blood just turns to puddles,
making shapes all over the floor.
Roses, that's what she says they are.
Red Roses for the Devil's Whore
So many roses for the Devil's whore.

I also want "A Lesson Learnt" please....
thanks <3

------A Lesson Learnt------
Through all your love,

their hate has faded.

This fallen star

will not be jaded.

I love this pain,

this burning desire....

In my dangerous hell,

you've become the fire.

But in this fire,

I won't be burned.

The power of love,

is what I've learned.

sorry they're both so short.....

Your cold hearted words

I gave her all my soul and heart
would have done anything for her
even if being unwhole and ripped apart.

And so she asked for my tears
to please her sadistic pleasure,
wanting me in constant fear
no matter what the measure.

She loved calling me a simple toy
that got annoying real fast
just a small little boy
that would never last.

Pathetic and worthless were the words
you engrinded in my mind
I should have nothing to look toward
and I better run and hide.

Your cold hearted words
always stay on rewind
I never seem to move forwards
as you leave me behind.

Please reserve me "Red Roses for the Devil's Whore" and "Join Me". Thank you :)

Join me... in sweet simplicity,
Become free... in one's naivete.
Close to thee... for all eternity,
Join me... in sweet simplicity.

Don't be aghast... time flies too fast;
The days will pass... they'll fly on past,
The hourglass... will empty last,
Don't be aghast... time flies too fast.

If you must go... as you say so,
We all may know... there is no show,
Don't cease to grow... discard your woe,
If you must go... as you say so.

I pray, don't part... you'll break my heart,
Right from the start... you had me, smart,
The darkest art... the taste, so tart,
I pray, don't part... you'll break my heart.

If you must go... as you say so,
Don't cease to grow... discard your woe,
We all may know... there is no show,
If you must go... as you say so.

Don't be aghast... time flies too fast;
The hourglass... will empty last,
The days will pass... they'll fly on past,
Don't be aghast... time flies too fast.

Join me... in sweet simplicity,
Close to thee... for all eternity,
Become free... in one's naivete.
Join me... in sweet simplicity.

Run For Your Life

A heart is pounding in a chest,
It cannot stop,
It cannot rest,

Fear has filled the air tonight,
Drowning lungs,
Squeezing tight.

Screams are held deep inside,
Make no sound,
Run and hide,

Your flesh, this evening, is the feast,
If you can't,
Escape this beast.

You hear him nearing and you freeze,
Blood runs cold,
You beg God please,

Do not let him take me now,
Give me something,
Show me how.

You know not if he hears your call,
You cannot sit,
You start to crawl,

On your belly, in the dirt,
You did not know,
Until it hurt.

Skin now ripping, screams unheard,
None to know,
What has occurred,

He drains you of your crimson life,
Bathed in blood,
He licks the knife.

One more notch inside the mind,
Of a mad man,
Left behind,

Left to fester, evil grows,
But where it strikes,
No one knows.

Can I have in love and bocessed

Nothing Left.

His eyes are sketched within my mind,
burning flames turn all else to ashes.
Memories haunt the future;
there's nothing at all left.

But, with this connection that pulls,
we must somehow make it through. . .
for, I know we can do this;
there's got to be something left.

Butterfly kisses and nightly walks,
holding hands and hug-filled talks.
Burning bushes that burn and burn-
two hearts that forever churn.

I can feel you upon me now,
your breath seeping in my skin.
Burning holes about my bedsheets,
holding me all the way too close.

I can see you within my heart,
calming me with peaceful feelings.
It's something I've forever wished-
just come true this one time.

Butterfly kisses and nightly walks,
holding hands and hug-filled talks.
Burning bushes that burn and burn-
two hearts that forever churn.

His eyes are sketched within my mind,
burning flames turn all else to ashes.
Memories haunt the future;
there's nothing at all left -

let's give up hope before we're too far behind.

Your Cold-Hearted Words

Curled up in the corner
In the fetal position
Wishing her father
Could lose the addiction

She misses her mother
Apparently he does too
But the ways he handles it
Leave her all black and blue

He'll yell at her for a while
Let her know where she stands
All his death-dealing words
Get backed up by his hands

Tonight it's the Jim Bean
And an old photograph
That bring out the devil
In a man full of wrath

He used to be so loving
Give piggyback rides
Ice cream for good grades
There were see-saws and slides

But the swingset is broken
Like the rest of his heart
When she died on that day
They both fell apart

He's the frame of a man
That at one time was great
But when he let go of love
All he had left was hate.

Hi everyone. Just to let you know that the deadline has been set for Thursday 22 November 2007.

A Lesson Learnt

I can feel the bridges burning beneath my feet,
Tattered and falling, as I walk this lonely street.
I cut the threads bearing the tension from you,
Frayed and gnawed, there`s nothing you can do.

You hear me talking, but don`t make a sound,
Fallen and bruised, my face hits the cold ground.
I loved you, but your fist loved me a little more,
Bullets and blood, I had to end this pathetic war.

Alcohol and cigarettes taint your fading breath,
Nicotine and Whiskey, you wreak of death.
Your fist hits my face, my feet hit this old floor,
Busses and hotels, and a stranger at my door.

He touches me the way that you never would,
Sweet and passionate, it felt so damn good.
He held me close, into the dead of the night;
Breathe in and breathe out, let go of your spite.

I`m leaving my memories of you behind me,
Step by step, my heart is finally feeling free.
A lesson learnt, to never give up hope,
Carry on and live, there`s always an up to every slope.

[This is a poem written for my Sister, from the perspective of her..it is about an abusive relationship and overcoming it and getting the guts to walk away.]

In love and obcessed

My passion and art
derives from my soul
feelings form the heart
are what make me whole.

My art is depression
with her as my obcession
slowly taking over every part of my life,
my writings show only a small part of my strife.

My love that filled my spirit
had softened my mind
as she ripped both apart
the emotions I could no longer hide.

So I became an artist of pain
with love as the obcession
showing my life invain
never escaping her oppression.

This is just how obcessed I am
with her as my everblinding light
I know I will never shine
and I simply cannot fight.

This is what my paintings will always show,
a soul and heart left with a horrible dark mark.

Xx Sweet Love - Rondelet xX

This is true love
Binding these two hearts together
This is true love
Fit together like hand to glove
Strong enough to last forever
Yet delicate as a feather
This is true love

Rondelet - The Rondelet is a French form consisting of a single septet with two rhymes and one refrain:
AbAabbA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats. The refrain is written in tetra-syllabic
or dimeter (four syllables), and the other lines are twice as long - octasyllabic or tetrameter (eight syllables).

"Sweet Love" and "Join Me" for me please.

Sweet Love

I know this is true love
Because you true me right
Doesn't matter what they tell you
Because we are happy together

Our love is sweet
Like a child's favorite candy
Your kisses are sweet
And taste like a strawberry

You never leave my side
Even when I'm not at my best
Those sweet kisses you give me
Always make me happy

You're the one I've been searching for
And everybody in this whole world
Can try and separate us
But they will not succeed

I'm glad to call you my sweet love
You're mine forever and always
And I want you to know
That I'll never let you go.

Join Me

Join me to my view my life
I'm not a perfect girl
But I try to do my best
With all the decisions I make

I have a son who was barely born
And a fiance that loves me so much
I now have my own family
And no one can come between us

Join me to get to know me better
And see the things I do
I try to make everyone around me happy
And I won't stop until they're happy

I consider myself lucky
To have these people in my life
They make me happy
And I know I'll always make them happy

Join Me

Heart Over Head

He never really had someone
Who was his one and only
So when he found this angel
He didn't want to be lonely.

She thought he was a nice guy
And gave the date a go
But she'd rather be just friends
So she let him know.

The answer was a shock to him
He thought that she had lied
But when he went to pick her up
She'd already had a ride.

He was furious, humiliated
But he loved her too much
To give up on this romance
That was his mind's crutch.

He brought her flowers everyday
Called her up on the phone
Though she asked him to stop
He didn't leave her alone.

She soon found somebody knew
And his heart bled only black
He knew he couldn't have her
And wouldn't get her back

He was in love and obsessed
But rejected all the same
He didn't like the feeling
And thought it a cruel game

He tried to break them up
But it was to no avail
His mind was not right
And his heart, too frail.

The counselor's at college
Tried to help him out
But they were no match
For all his created doubts.

So now he's in a place
Where everything's routine
And the chances for true love
Are never to be seen.

Run for Your Life [Trijan Refrain]

The sky is falling in tonight,
Stars are chasing you down,
Shattering your dreams in clear sight,
Leading you through this town.
Run for your life, get far away,
Save your fear for another day;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
And know it will all be okay.

The sky is falling in tonight,
And the moon`s taunting you,
Gripping down on your wrists so tight,
As tears fill eyes of blue.
Run for your life, and don`t look back,
Escape all the skies turning black;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
And never stray off of your track.

The sky is falling in tonight,
Filling your heart with fear,
You gasp for air, get up and fight,
`Cuz you feel the end near.
Run for your life, cover your eyes,
Ignore all of their white lies;
...........................Run for your life,
...........................Run for your life,
Get away from the falling skies.

The Trijan Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of three 9-line stanzas, for a total of 27 lines. Line 1 is the same in all three stanzas. The first four syllables of line 5 in each stanza are repeated as the double-refrain for lines 7 and 8. The Trijan Refrain is a rhyming poem with a set meter and rhyme scheme as follows:
Rhyme scheme: a/b/a/b/c/c/d,d refrain of first 4 words of line five /c
Meter: 8/6/8/6/8/8/4,4 refrain/8

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

Goes along with the saying "The sky`s the limit"; it`s saying reach further than your limits and escape all that is holding you back .

I just realised my butterfly kisses poem has the title mentioned in the poem, will it be ok to change the title just for this contest?

Yeah Gem, that's cool...

Hey guys please get your poems in. I've had problems with my internet so I will be closing this round on Monday.
