    Ok lets have a little poetry contest and see who can come up with the best poem.Let me start.

    The Devine:

    Welcome to the devine

    Angels take me away
    To a beter day
    Blessed is the wind
    Dieing from with in

    For ever I shall pray
    To see their devine ways
    Bringing peace on their wings
    Beautiful voices shall sing

    Angels take me away
    To a beter day
    Blessed is the wind
    Dieing from with in

    And they sing to me
    Soon you shall see

    This devine wind of mine

    For ever you shall know
    Of a purer soul

    Angels take me away
    To a beter day
    Blessed is the wind
    Dieing from with in

    My soul shall never be gone
    As long as my angels live on

    See this wind of mine
    Welcome to the devine

    Well it isn't realy a contest but more of a collage of poetry....

    Comfort

    Sometimes the world seems sh**ty
    Sometimes the world just doesn’t look pretty
    Sometimes the world can seem like a scary place
    Filled with dangerous you don’t want to face

    You can turn around, you can walk away
    But you never know what happens unless you stay
    So, young warrior, wipe away that tear
    You are the one they fear

    You see, mean acts may be remembered for a while,
    Yet you have to power to forget them with a smile
    Don’t get angry, keep your calm
    One day you will receive your palm

    They are simply unaware of the pain they cause
    And you should actually pity them because of that loss
    They are unable to sense how others feel and think
    And your angry words would only cause them to blink

    It’s no use to yell or fight
    Just ignore them, keep your pride
    They don’t know any better, have no clue
    Don’t see the power inside of you

    The power of your heart, the power of your mind
    The power to ignore, the power to be kind
    Just ignore them, for they don’t see
    Just how powerful you can be

    Wasted
    I wake up and get dressed
    To go to school.

    I go every day and
    Lose hours of my life.

    My life is wasted it
    Has no point.

    I feel as though
    It could all be ended.

    By flexing a few muscles to
    Push the blade through my chest.

    Suicide could
    End it all.

    My life is wasted I
    Wish it would

    Just
    Cease.

    Sorry it is kind of long. It was written in first draft form for school and i tried to give it a different, school appropriate, meaning about how school is to time consuming. This is the way i wanted it to sound. It is about my friend who's brother commited suicide and it was written in his perspective the day before the thing happened.

    The first two were good. I like them. The third one is good, but it's sort of sad. :(

    Here's mine (sorry for the length):

    Destiny and Angels


    ~~~~~~



    Visions of a planet



    And an angel she did see



    The power to foretell the future



    Would lead her to her destiny



    A bet with her superior



    Under 13 seconds for the 100-meter dash



    Would win her a kiss



    But a boy she did clash



    He spoke a weird language



    And ordered them to run



    But the dragon appeared



    And it was time for some fun



    He fought as best he could



    He tried to defend those he didn’t know



    He needed the energist



    That bright stone with the pink glow



    He finished the dragon off



    And took out the stone



    She asked him if he was okay



    But he answered in a hostile tone



    “I’m not so bad off that I need a woman to worry about me”



    She slapped him and yelled



    He really didn’t see



    That she was truly worried about him



    She wasn’t dancing with glee



    “Why can’t you at least say ‘thank you’?!”



    He realized his mistake and was going to speak



    But the pillar arrived and carried them away



    Now her friends were left with answers to seek



    She arrived on a strange planet



    The boy by her side



    Wolf-men appeared



    And offered them a ride



    They were taken to Fanelia



    Where he presented the stone



    Everyone was impressed



    As they all gasped



    He had succeeded in his quest



    She was taken to the castle



    She missed her home



    Who should arrive then but an annoying little cat-girl



    Who started to roam



    She took possession of a magical necklace



    And took off like a cat



    But the other was right on her heels



    She wished she had a bat



    Many adventures ensued



    Ones that changed her life



    Her friends were right by her side



    To them fighting was (a) rife



    Problems then came



    Not those of battle but those of love



    As she fell for one guy



    The other was jealous of (Allen)



    As time went by she began to think



    ‘Who’s the angel from my vision?’



    She had no idea that he was near



    She had only been wishin’ he would appear



    Her feelings for Allen began to leave



    As her feelings for Van grew



    But she still didn’t know



    That he was her angel too



    Finally the time came when she would have to part



    By then she knew whom she loved



    She was hoping he felt the same way



    She didn’t want her feelings shoved



    They said their goodbyes



    Her eyes (were) filled with tears



    He looked up at her sadly



    He showed no fears



    “We’ll see each other again, my love.”



    “Do not fret.”



    “I would rather part from you and see you later”



    “Then never to have met.”



    She took in his words of comfort



    And made a promise to the stars



    “I’ll return to him one day.”



    She wouldn’t let there be scars



    And on some days, people claim



    When they’re on their last breath



    They claim to see an angel carrying his love



    Then they sink into death



    The story of an angel and his love



    Is one people love to see



    They’ll never forget how it happened



    Or how it came to be…

    I gotta say they are all pretty nice and as far as sad poetry goes..... well lets just say that almost 75% of all the poetry I write is either as morbid or more morbid than that.

    No offence

    Happpiness

    Can you find your happiness in this tainted world.
    What do you see when you sleep with your dreams.
    What lies of love confuse you in this blood stained world.
    You ache to find true love to feel.
    A feeling that you've longed to feel.
    A feeling that you hope is real.
    Show the peach stained sky to feel.
    Looking to the sea of love.
    For the fish that you dream of.
    Swimming in a sea of tears.
    Hoping to drown all your fears.
    But the blood of lust stains you true.
    Your happiness is not yours to feel.

    The Road

    cool on my cheeks
    fresh
    whispering across
    my cheeks

    silence
    a noise from above
    looking up I see nothing
    silence

    following
    the tapping of heels
    the splits and cracks
    like a river
    a course they are
    following

    no end
    to the river
    it flows
    stops
    stutters
    rushes
    but there is an
    end

    to my road
    journey of my day
    by day
    by day

    I return
    and I return
    endlessly

    but it ends
    like a spiderweb
    a spiderweb

    it can be broken
    can it?
    strength lies in the eye
    of the beholder

    Ok, this is my first adventure with "publishing" poetry that is important to me so please dont laugh!!!!!! It was originally a song too, so thats why its messed up in the middle.


    A Black Velvet Sky

    Its a dark night
    the stars are shining brightly
    against a black velvet sky
    the moon glow our only light

    I look into your eyes
    and wonder what youll say
    before we say goodnight
    and the wind blows softly, it sighs

    I wonder if youll kiss me
    and make this night comeplete
    I fall breathlessly into your arms
    and realize that were meant to be

    Im standing here in the starlight
    waiting for our first kiss
    as you lean in closer
    i whisper hold me tight

    Goodnight baby goodnight
    as Juiet said
    parting is such sweet sorrow
    and though
    i know
    Ill see you tomorrow
    your face remains in my sight

    I just know
    ill go home again
    and spend a sleepless night
    just thinkin about you
    are you thinking of me?
    and so

    I hold you close
    not wanting to leave this place
    i wanna stay here forever
    youre the one i love the most

    I close my eyes and wait for your kiss
    as the night breeze carresses my face
    you whisper i think this is right
    as anothe moment becomes the one ill miss

    Now the night is growing late
    i should have been home an hour ago
    i think my thoughts fiercly
    and you kiss me so this is my fate

    Its like nothing ive ever felt before
    soft and gentle, the world stops
    you whisper til tomorrow
    as you fade into the night no more

    WELL, thats it, I guess its okay, but as a close friend told me once,, the best are yet to be written.

    Well...I'm at school, so I'm going to write this on the spot!
    Let's see...what will I write about?

    The Room

    I see a room with the door unlocked.
    The door is always unlocked.
    Never did this door have a lock.

    What is this room?
    What purpose does it serve?
    It gets on my nerves.

    I dream of the room.
    What is there inside?
    An unspoken rule forbids entrance.

    Never one to follow the crowd,
    I do finally what I'm not allowed.
    In this room there are books.

    Here, I see not books.
    Here I see adventure.
    Love, Hate, War, Peace.

    I see a history.
    Power-hungry tyrants.
    I see a future.

    We look to the past
    There, we find the future.
    Years of destruction,

    And then we rebuild.


    >.< Not bad for something written at school.

    Of course profound ideas need not apply,
    Least we are to create ripples in the water.
    Conforming is the lone way to comply,
    Unanimously all peoples must concur.
    They have endless ways in which to deter,
    These deep contemplations from being uttered.
    There is little doubt that I must aver,
    And yet there is no doubt I will go unheard.
    And although it seems odd, these thoughts are surd,
    A look around will once again prove my point.
    Fools can be spotted commonly in herds,
    Viewing idiocy, just meant to disjoint,
    One from one’s self. If we are to appoint,
    Blame on anything let it be knowledge.


    It is a sonnet.

    Wow.
    I cn't believe it.
    I wasted a whole year on you.
    You, who didn't care about me "that way."
    We were best friends, but-no matter.
    To me you were the world, but to you I was one person.
    Why didnt I realize?
    REalize that I was wasting my time.
    My energy.
    My emotions- on you.
    I a;ways thought you were the one-
    but no.
    You werent anybody.
    You led me on, day after day-
    week after week-
    month after month.
    Until the other day when I looked at you ad realized.
    That you saw me as only a friend.
    Not a girl, not someone with thought, and feelings-
    Emotions, words, goals and aspirations--
    just another friend.
    Another friend that you could dote on,
    ***** and moan to,
    put down, bring up.
    lead on, lead away,
    because my knight in shining armor was nothing but a vision.
    A hologram, that led me into darkness.
    To die.
    I saw the light-
    the light of a true friend to help me out of the tangled brambles.
    To free me from my enraturement with a figment.
    And you never knew.
    Yiu were clueless, comepletely enraptured with your vision.
    And now hat Ive gone--
    You see me as a figment.
    I hope you have a friend like I did.

    My Life

    This is a song wrote by me for my band CGC or Crackas Gone Crazy (Girls Gone Wild spin off with guys :))

    I just got cracked in my face
    My whole ****in life is a waste
    I bleed just to see
    see the life you have taken from me

    I fear nothing
    I hear nothing

    why is it I must always fail
    I try and try but never prevail

    Ill find you
    Ill hurt you

    my thoughts of dementia
    Are what I will show to ya
    Who do I really need
    peel myself a rotten seed

    feel my wrath
    feel my hate

    Why
    must I cry.....
    What
    I must cut
    My viens beg of me
    can you feel this
    can you feel me
    can you hear this color of deth

    I fear nothing
    I hear nothing

    I hate all, they hurt me
    I hate you, you ****ed me

    Ill find you
    Ill hurt you

    can you feel my flames
    do they hurt you, take my blame
    scapegoat that you are
    die like a snake with all the rest

    feel my wrath
    feel my hate

    why
    cry....
    what
    ****
    who are you
    good bye

    And thasabout it what you guys think most people around here like it.....I like it considering it took me like 2 1/2 minutes to think this up (I like to freestyle) I sing this to Heavy metallic sounds and 2 X's tempo hehehehehe :D

    Took ten minutes got in the mood made another song hope it sounds like rhapsody when I get done

    It is called My Mind bled for you

    (Deep Dark voice)
    The shape of your heart
    Is nothing like I thought
    You thought, you heard
    These mystifying words

    (Higher voice)
    And now I’m hypnotized
    Bleeding at your minds command
    I’ll never realize
    What you were thinking
    You put a spell on me
    From the beginning

    And now I see the light..….
    (Deep Dark voice)
    I’m gonna show you the stars
    Tonight we’ll take our flight
    When the dark has arisen

    (Higher voice)
    No, I shall free my will
    I, can see straight through you now
    So just leave, I am fine alone

    (Deep Dark voice)
    In the dark……
    I will watch the leaves swirl
    And the empty swings inside the park
    Now I think, only of you
    And the hate, where your’ debts are due (Raise voice ^)

    (Higher voice)
    High, now it’s time that you shall die
    I hate, Every line in your’ face
    Bleed, as my mind has bled for you
    Why must it end this way
    Why must my sanity fray
    Starting over, again and again
    I pray for love and I pray fantasy
    But tell me to pray for you
    I’ll wish heart to die

    All that stuff about the deeper voice and higher voice is to remind me of the rhythm

    here's one

    The winter only lasted one day
    then the rain started to fall
    The snow that was so bright, now ain't so white
    a deceased snowman lies in the gutter

    here's another

    When I am walking down the street
    my eyes get to meet
    a homeless sitting on the pavement
    The snow falling down on him where he sit
    with a hat on his head that doesn't fit
    and thinking how this oculd have happen to him

    ok this is the last

    I look out the window only to find
    a leafless tree standing naked and alone
    I'm thinking that it must be cold and lonely
    but what can I do to help it

    I wrote these on a math lesson in the beginning of the winter and finally found them in a book I'd forgot about

    Ok....here is mine...people tell me it sounds like something Tool would write...but...anyway...here it is...


    " Tears Of The Unshed'
    By: Rek



    An eye stares at me through the clouds
    Echoing the discrimination of their rules
    It starts when one thought over-powers the rest
    And the little guy gets through...

    With my feet upon the ground
    I contemplate the sound
    Of a whole generation drowned in calamity
    Remembering all the times that Ive been
    Bathed in his impurity
    Free my thoughts to release you all
    Free my soul to please you all
    Feed my will to run away
    And free my pain and make me stay...

    Decide to spend the rest of this life
    Putting the pieces back together
    Wave a fist in the air and sing your "revolution"
    I hoping that your doubts will free your hopes and opinions out the other way...
    For they are a plague
    Rid yourself
    And eat the full-plate

    Half of this world dies while the other prospers...
    Half of me remains crucified while the other dangles free
    This mask...forced upon me...is starting to crumble

    He laughs as he sits in the throne
    that you f***ing idiots built
    I sit here...alone in my throne
    Rotting into the Apple
    While eating my way back out....



    That is it...whew....that took a while...
    Hopefully you guys will enjoy it...

    I want you to stay, but I wont stop you...

    I stand in the door sill, watching your back
    as you go. I feel my knees shaking, but dont
    show it.

    Tears are rolling down my cheeks. Every day
    and night. I hear and see the sadness in your eyes.

    I'll miss you, I know. But I wont hold you back. I will
    be forever in despair. But you must go your way and
    I must go mine.

    At first we were happy, but then you got bored. Or
    atleast, that's what you made it appear to be.

    Our wedding was grand. The feeling I felt was better.
    Just to look in your eyes made me want to cry.

    I wanted to cry, because I knew that you were to good
    to be true. I told myself you would hurt me. I told myself
    you would make me sad.

    But now I find, it's the other way around. You smiled at
    me. But It wasn't a happy smile. It told me that I was
    hurting you. Though I could not believe You were hurting
    more than I.

    That time has long past. I still wonder if you think of me.
    I know I think of you. Every painfull though rides with me forever.

    I've seen you now and then. You're married agian. You
    have a beautiful family. It makes me glad. To know that
    I made the right choice makes me glad.

    You're Wife is lovely. Your pets are devine. But most of
    all, your two daughters are angels, sent down from
    heaven. You and I know this. We know this because
    we know that they have a chance. They have a chance
    to live happily. And that happiness will last.

    The True Meaning of Love


    There is a time when you feel a lone
    A time when you feel like nobody wants you
    A time when you feel there is now where to go
    Like you are wasting your time
    On the one thing you care about
    The one thing that you feel is right
    Love
    Why waste your time
    When no one else cares
    When nobody looks at you in class
    When nobody cares what happens
    At night when you freeze
    The chill from being scared
    Scared of not being together
    To share love of two people
    To have some dreams that maybe
    She might be loved
    For she feels the soft fur of her teddy bear
    Dreaming that maybe it is her love
    Her partner, her companion, her life



    theres mine, it took me about 10 minutes to do it...i didnt know what to call it so i just called it that...hope you enjoy!!!

    How I count the ways my thoughts long for your breaths of language,
    And all of your thoughts remembered on for days to come,
    Now I think back and see it has only been two full days,
    Not to blight and thrash the moments but to further see,
    A new legion of memories is approaching my conscientiousness,
    Happiness for once can finally be achieved….

    Took myself three minutes to think of what I wanted to say and this is what came out

    I will save posting room I just made this one also

    Flash

    Firey waves of musical notes smashing the pavment,
    Lighting the sky to new day one of many to come,
    All I am is a sound you though you knew,
    So I have decieved you my next victim,
    Heavens shall shake upon my wraths…..

    I wrote this in tribute to my guitar it's name is Flash
