Poetry Contests

Weaving golden memories,
in the spindle of my mind;
Adrift upon a silken breeze,
of patchwork so designed.

I lose my thread of errant thought;
with every stitch I drop;
And find the memory I sought,
till panic slows to stop.

Busy at my memory loom,
I weave myself some laughter;
As an intricate costume,
for a happily ever after.

I start to smile in reverie,
at life's quirky little riches;
Chuckling soft inside of me,
I find myself in stitches.

Tangled in the silken skeins,
I pause and use my skill;
To break free from the chains,
To stop myself unravel.

A tranquil tapestry arises,
it comes from who knows whence;
Cross stitch scolds, chastises,
Blanket stitch, a reminiscence.

Embroidery at this juncture,
in everything I do;
Is a parrallel acupuncture,
of an applique of you.

The Beast

This wretched plague that is up on you,
Lays its yellow eyes upon you,
The willing creature that slowly hunts you,
Calls the fear that is inside you,
Under the blanket of the jungle,
Confines you both forever together, now
Forever fighting, forever thinking of the one,
The one you yearn for, the one you burn for,
The one you call for more and more
The one you call your paramour.

Fear someday the beast will falter,
Best the unbeatable beast of burden,
Give all yourself, the pieces all of them,
Doubtlessly these things you given,
Unthinkable these thing have happened
This is not the one,
Your confidante, the one you love,

The hole inside you grows yet deeper
With every inch the beast does creep,
Creep towards your steeping soul,
Pain inside the deep hole grows,
You scream a silent scream,
But no sound shall pierce your lips

‘Oh god please release me’

From my current tribulations,
From my current situations,
Into the arms of my lover,

Inamorata, inamorata!

You wish to be forever there,
Forever more,
Forever with your paramour.

A male vistor with the features of a man but different eyes
grabs my mind and consumes it with every word which posions my mind
a good person but hiding in the shadow is his disguise,
when cutting myself is the only thing he assigned

take the blade in your hand and slowly drag it down your arm
watch yourself bleed till your arm starts to burn like the fire
till suddenly you feel the connection and disarm
the pain in my arm and head shot up like a wire

no tears fell from my eyes no sorrow made me cry
the emotions i feel are nothing more than what they tell me
emptiness deadness and blank grey sky
cause the feeling is dead as they watch you bleed.

The voices in your head send me falling to the ground
the stares burn darkness into my soul and i cant be found
the moments the bring me down cause endless pain
the endless roller coaster i can never get off and will never gain

the waves crash on me the sun burns me down
but i still go out and touch the waves
the amount od trying keeps you going keeping you safe and sound
but ends up keeping me hurt lost in the darkest caves.

the person out there they all believe in where is he for me
why the moments i need it the most you are never there
the feelings of belief stops coming when prayers are never seen
sometimes i stop fighting just cause i feel scared.

If I die: My Soul to Take;

Thee soul in rest;
Apart from the flesh,
Departs from the rest

Alone it is, rest alone in peace.
To world a dead flesh:
To soul; a world alive

The beat of heart stops,
The soul start to haunt,
For a land to soar high for a place:

Heaven above…
Yet the soul feels the fall of paradise

Heaven beyond, sky I gazed,
Ground I walked;
Ground beneath I’m buried,

Heaven still above,
Blind I became,
Crying I came,
Smiled I Learnt, to heart I laughed
Shall I leave tears to many?
Thousand dreams I dreamt,
I’d seen millions smiled.

Life is but a candle: burning down.
We lived to die, turning to dust.
She melts down, burning to bottom remains.
So does this life…?
We live within but for a remain soul;
A soul that seeks for a free land

Womb to tomb; Mud to dust,
Empty flesh I came; empty handed I’d lounge.

Shadows followed me
Me to become one;
I am, but only a shadow now…

If I die: my Soul to be seized;

Does anyone actually know any poetry contests one can enter?

She waited till everyone have slept and she walked out of her room
Walking with a lighted up candle, trying to forget about the upcoming traumatic doom
She tries to be sanguine, but she knows the end is soon

She reached the door, memories began to cascade
She want to speak her heart out before it's too late
But she doesn't want him to build high hopes, then leave

She doesn't want to touch his heart then plod away
Or maybe she would fall for him more that she would like to stay
She texted him, " Meet you on the last hour of May"

The next day she texted him the place
Her heart was beating in a great race
She feels that tonight, she will have her longest daze

She waited for him, he appeared, wearing his big black combat boots
Only one look in the eyes, made her lose
He clasped her to his bosom, that made her soothe

" I'm fearful of having one foot in grave before holding you tight
I was never planning to fall for you, it was away from my sight
So here I am, standing infront of you, after losing my self fight"

Too Painful To Recall
by: Myla Rose Gigante

Hard as it may seem again
Staring with all the pain
Bear in mind t'was just a game
But in heart it was a shame
How could I let this betide
When I still got blear-eyed
I looked up and closed my eyes
But just heard the sad goodbyes
I wish t'was just a nightmare
Seeking castle in the air
Grabbing every piece to hold
Trying to escape the cold
I opened my eyes and saw
An old and black rose that grow
Full of thorns in each dark bud
Leaves surrounded with cold blood
I touched the arrow-like thorns
But just got deep cuts and burns
I placed my hands in bosom
And felt t'was deeply broken
The innermost was shattered
Love and hope were obliterated
How can I dwell this feeling
If its like a hell burning
Heart is melting and screaming
My mind's silently crying
Gasped to unthink of it all
For t'was too painful to recall
No more feelings to be drained
No more such love to be cared

Please Stay..

I found myself walking barefooted under the rain
In a cold, dark and lonely night
I was alone, shivering and freezin'
In a white night gown
I tried to look around
But I saw nothing
All I can see was the darkness of the night
And raindrops was all I can feel
I tried to call your name
But no voice came out in my mouth
I am still freezin' and still walking in the middle of nowhere
I embraced myself and felt that my heart was beating too fast
I was so terrified and my feet was trembling
I don't know where I am
I don't know this place
I tried to run but I stumbled and fell on the ground
I tried to get up but I can't moved my body
My feet was in a great pain
My heart was broken and crying inside
And felt my tears run down my face
I tried to shout many times
Somebody help me please?
But I heard nothing, not even my voice
For 'twas my mind that kept shouting for help
It is so painful
Knowing that I'm the only person in this dark and unknown place
So deeply broken
While my tears flowed so hard as I plead
Where are you?
Will you please stay with me?
'Coz I don't know what to do
If you're not here with me
Please, I am longing for your love,
Your touch
Your kiss
Your comfort
The whole you is the only thing I needed
Now and forever
Please come and stay with me...

The Black Stallion
By Sophia Engel

Aloft the wind
I ride the night sky
I see the world through a much different eye
Rural, black and Deadly I am

Power, beauty
Strength and grace
I feel the spirits of ancestral space
I speak the unspoken word
of mother natures brutal world
Rushing winds
And tearing storms
Threatening yet not achieving
To bring me down

Pride of herd
The leader
The stallion
Sisters and brothers
I live ever-watchful standing by others
Watching, listening
For threat and danger

We run and gallop
Through wind and rain
Never stopping
Never resting
A kaleidoscope of colors
Flying through the forest pride
Through nettles, thorn and deadly tide
The short, the tall, the long of mane
No two ever the same

I know the chance
I know the fear
I know the forest ways
I live on the edge
For death crouches near
I feel its breath on my neck

On my back I carry a load
Through storm and calm
Ever vigilant and bold
Strength and bravery rage inside me
Natures will always guide me
Through wind and rain
To high and low
Over cliffs and Mountain tops

I have died in battle twice already
Killed by man
Hunted by predator as I roamed the land

Yet I survive
I take each step with pride
I am ever loyal to those who seek
The free life, the wild life
For I am feral and wild
For I am the Black stallion
The King of the wild
