Xx True Love Is Whispered Heart To Heart - Triolet xX

True love is whispered heart to heart
A language sacred, real and sweet
A work of the most wondrous art
True love is whispered heart to heart
Joining together in the dark
Listen closely as they both beat
True love is whispered heart to heart
A language sacred, real and sweet

Triolet - The first line repeats on the fourth and seventh. The second line repeats on the eighth. The ryhme scheme goes like this; ABaAabAB. (only two rhymes are used

Xx Kiss Me Goodbye xX

Kiss me on my forehead
And lay me down to sleep
Kiss away my tears
And pray my soul to keep

Hold me in the darkness
Chase away nightmares
Hold me tightly to you
Far from accusing stares

Whisper softly to me
Quietly through the night
Whisper words of love
And cuddle me so tight

Hold my hand in yours
Lay so close together
Hold onto this feeling
We'll make it last forever

Kiss me on my forehead
As I slowly close my eyes
Kiss me on my lips
As we say our last goodbyes

Xx In The Nightside Of Eden xX

The clouds are gathering, marring the moon
Which glows in full, illuminating the room
He sits in the corner, clutching onto his chair
Feeling the bristles of his fast growing hair

A sharp sudden jolt makes his body jerk
As the moonlight shines, things go berserk
He lets out an agonized, blood curdling howl
That soon transforms into a blood thirsty growl

The chair is knocked over and broken in two
With a furious snarl, he smashes it through,
The window not caring if anyone hears
The werewolves arrived, it's what everyone fears

His matted fur is tangled and stained
With the blood of his victims he's already gained
Yellow teeth gleam in the misty moonlight
This time of the month is the werewolves night

His hungry black eyes darting out of control
This is the result of selling your soul
Nobody is safe whilst the moon is still full
In the night side of Eden, is the human race cull

*Cull - When something is killed off

(my dark one)

Yes, you make the title for the dark poem, and it can be old or new, although I do prefer new =)

The Pain of Losing You for me please.

The Pain of Losing You

The pain of losing you
Is killing me deep inside
I know it will never happen
But the suspense just kills me

When you come home late at night
I feel like you're seeing someone else
I know it's all in my head
Because I know you'll never hurt me like that

I don't question you about the rumors
Because I know they're made up off the haters
But whenever I think about them
I feel like dying inside

I spend the days thinking about you
And wondering how you're doing
I pick up the telephone to call you
But I put it down in fear that you'll be mad

What I'm trying to say
Is that I'm scared of losing you
And if that does happen
I swear that I'll die without you

Big Girls Don't Cry

"Pull yourself together," they say, "He's long done with you."
"Stop thinking of might-have-beens; and stop feeling blue."

"Pull yourself together," they advise, It's gonna be okay."
"It's time to wipe your tears away, and face another day."

"Pull yourself together," they declare, "Try to live past the pain."
"Someday you might see a light shining through the rain."

"Pull yourself together," they state, "And feel the sun's rays."
"Don't live life in a daze; look towards the skies and better days."

"Pull yourself together," they reason, "You'll be able to get by."
"Remember that big girls don't cry; it was time to say goodbye."

Save Me From Myself (Licentia)

Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.
Memories still haunt me, wish they would just leave,
But in my heart this hate tis here to deceive.
I asked myself if love could ever come true,
I thought it was that day when I had met you.
But I guess hearts are broken every day,
Even though love is all it tried to portray.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

Memories still haunt me, wish they would just leave,
But in my heart this hate tis here to deceive.
Stolen moments sing like a sad lullaby,
And I cant help but wipe a tear from my eye.
Like broken melodies they play in my ear,
And its your sweet voice that I cant help but hear.
But its way too late, the damage has been done,
The mistake was made, I thought you were the one.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

I asked myself if love could ever come true,
I thought it was that day when I had met you.
More lies for my heart, and I'm losing my mind,
And no matter what I do I just can't find.
Watching the clock as it sits up on the wall,
Looking at my phone thinking if I should call.
Finally my eyes opened so I could see,
And it seems that I let you get the best of me.
Save me from myself, I'm torturing my heart,
When I think of your face it tears me apart.

The Licentia Rhyme Form, a poetic form created by Laura Lamarca, consists of at least 3
12-line stanzas with 11 syllables per line. Of course, the poem can be elongated adding on
to the following rhyme scheme: aabbccddeeAA, BBffgghhiiAA, CCjjkkllmmAA

I Hear You Talking, but Your Words Don`t Mean a Thing

I sit holding your white shirt you wore out last night,
Told me you were going to office to get some work done,
And as I look at the collar now stained a crimson red,
I know that something got done, but it wasn`t really work.
[Lie to me, tell me that you don`t know how it got there.]

The scent of a cheap perfume hits my nostrils hard,
As I throw your shirt into the waste bin in our room,
And I know that the cologne you wore out last night,
It doesn`t smell like you were lathered in flowers.
[Oh, someone must have sprayed you with it, right?]

I watched you pour your coffee this morning before you left,
And Honey, those scratches on your back aren`t from me.
I know what you`ll say, that a cat must have got you good,
But it`s funny how I don`t remember us having a cat.
[That`s right, you must have stopped over at your brothers`.]

I remember the sound of your careful feet coming home,
And the creaking of the hardwood floor underneath them,
Steadily, you layed down beside me, holding me tight,
And whispered good night to me under your tainted breath.
[The smell of whiskey must have been a misunderstanding.]

Thump. Thump. Thump.
How your heart beats.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
The clock kills the silence.
You rustle nervously.
Breathe, Babe, Breathe.

It`s getting late but there must be lots of work to do,
And you don`t want to face me just yet anyways,
So you stall the broad at the office the best that you can,
Luring her onto your desk; go on, slide off her dress.
[And tell her that it`s just a secret for the both of you.]

You`ll be careful this time, though, because you know now,
That all of the clues you`re leaving behind you in the morning,
They`re somehow disappearing, and you don`t know why,
So you`ll wash off, dab on some cologne and come home to me.
[You think you misplaced the evidence -- ha, how hysterical.]

I`m burning what bridges are left between you and I,
And boy, does the smoke in my eyes ever feel good,
There`s no tears left to douse out the flames this time,
Because I cried myself out falling for all of your bullshit.
[Oh how sweet redemption from your lies feels.]

The phone is ringing, you`re leaving a sorrow-filled message,
And I know you`re watching her hips shake as she leaves,
Turning around, she`ll smile at you and you`ll wink back,
Pretending all the while that you miss me; (you`re such a fake.)
[I hear you talking, but your words don`t mean a thing.]

Time Heals a Broken Heart (yeah, right)

You left me begging on my tired and aching knees,
Said we had to turn to time to figure this all out,
But the ticking in my head seems to take forever,
And I still haven`t seen you walk through that door.
[Feels like an eternity since you left; come back to me.]

You ran for your life once your feet hit the ground,
And left me begging a shadow for something more,
But we both know that in reality, a little heartbreak,
Ha, that`s nothing compared to what`s up your sleeve.
[You`re all the same, just with different faces.]

The minute I looked into your lonely hazel eyes,
I knew that you were a pretty boy of the worst nature,
Shoulda listened to my head when it spun and said:
"He just likes the chase, he doesn`t care for the prize."
[How foolish I was to turn to my heart instead.]

And the sympathetic smiles all say the same thing,
As they whisper and watch me with a close eye,
Worrying that something will go wrong, anything;
But the faith I have in us is enough to keep me alive.
[Prove them wrong, just turn around and come home.]

The road is long and winding, with no destination;
As long as you drive down it for long enough,
And this clock is eating away at what sanity I have left,
But I`ll swallow my pride, pretend I don`t care.
[`Cuz they say: "Time heals a broken heart." (Yeah, right.)]

I Still Love You

Happy hearts are not suppose to cry,
But watch as these tears fall from my eyes.

Goodbyes and lies have been my only friends,
And as happy as I try to be it's only pretend.

I still love you, and it's easy for all to see,
How much your love really mattered to me.

I feel broken when I think about what we had
It's times like these I can't help but feel sad.

Started off as friends then it became more,
Took my heart when we danced on that floor.

Driving together holding hands after the game,
And seeing you there doesn't feel the same.

You've gotten the best of me, that much is true,
Even after the pain you've caused I Still Love You.

Whats happened to this then? lol

Oh yay, you found it. I couldn't, when I looked.

I'll pm the contestants who are still reserved, and leave it open for another few days, before closing and judging.
