I agree with the first one as well...time constraints allowing..

OK here is the deal, starting today and continuing through the next two weeks everyone can post submissions in a special thread I will be posting. the contest is every 2weeks and the judges are;

*Aunti
*DsC
*Fuckdoll
*Whitelily
*VampireDust

not I expect all in this group to make sure to confirm Ure commitment to the position, as I will assume U uneligable if not heard from U within a week. replacement judges or subs are;

*HR
*HeinousSoul
*So-Con
*Vampyric Angel
*Fallen Star
*IP

I am also gonna consider the first couple runs and if feasible increase the # of judges, up to as many as ten. in the case of any ties and deadlocks, I will be casting the tie breaker vote

wow how did I get on the Judging list? hehe, count me in dreamer, but send me a list of the rules and stuff for this and dates you need stuff by. That way I will know what everyone agreed on etc. Cause I am too lazy to try to fig it out on my own, or at the very least too busy to read through everything.

So this is where we post the poem of the week?

Ok I am gonna start this off then.

~Kiss~

I have waited all my life
For those lips
Just to touch them
Just to kiss them

Well I got my wish
One, dream has come true
Those lips I wanted
I got to do more than

Just touch them
I got to kiss them.

I am now in heaven
Waiting for me to rot
I can now die
A happy man!!!!!

Mighty I'm here just sayin howdy do! I'll come back in a bit *cuddles* see ya

Polar surf
-------------------------------

Ready to sleep...
a good cannabis invades the air.
Sounds and pictures start flowing.
Yes, the polar surf.
Nobody can watch the movement.
Quickly, quickly I round the coast.
It's all too white and fluor blue...
And I forget then that I'm dying because of a fate.

I turn my head slighty,
speed lights fill my geometric room,
my bed is excitingly cold, at last in summer!
water in my flesh,
I surf the pole again...
now by night, aurora,
feel the might I feel
the wounds for ice hits
I'm too strong.
Lights and forms.
Beauty and mistery.
Thus I forget some life storms.

Watch out! cannabis finishing.
Lobular trip.
Astonished by my history.
The innocence, the wars.
Polar surfing...
come and suffer.
I'm enjoying, all disasters.
Bring them to me.
Under impossible water,
yes, imagine, I live.
Ah, O, my spectacle...
my show of mirror bubbles,
I see myself...
it's liquid.
I'm fun.

Thus I forget to forget
and now I am ready for war.

NICE'UN bro~hugs~ ma brothers make me silly proud, sick I tell ya, lol OK I guess I'll get in the rooomp

hmm....*tosses this to the dogs*

~*Blackness Eternumb*~

sinking into darkness
the blackness engulfing me
falling i'm free...
the world can't find me
it can't feel my tears
they hit the nothingness below
thats me...
nothing..
the empty inside you..
thats me..
empty..
like a rose wilting on the table
gathering dust because it was deserted
the bloom dying on the stem
the petals falling silently
though each is a crash to its ears
deafing the silence
as i cry to myself...
over nothing i know..
but what i want to find out...

Prelude


I am rot
I am numb
By your beauty
Stricken dumb
Fleeting thought
Misery calling
Emotions strung
Love is falling
Clouded doubt
Blue eyes pierce
Visions elude
Hearts so fierce

fig nuts.

oh crap, i forgot i'm supposed to help judge these. deleted.

The Process of Breaking Me.

I remember one day,
You asked me what was wrong.
You said I seemed depressed.
You had never seen me depressed
Funny, cause I felt like this every day.
You say I've ruined it for you
You say that I'm making you into this monster.
I sit in silence
as my heart aches.
You say you want to be my friend,
to help me and hold me.
I know thats only a lie.
If I told you my problems,
if I told you my fears,
you would turn away.
You ask me what's wrong,
what makes me like this
I can't tell you,
for the answer is you
You've made me this way.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect.
I can't be all those things you want me to be.
I can't be the best at everything.
You have no idea how I think.
What darkness I hold within, what pain
what lust. I'm evil I know.
I don't know how to deal with the pain.
The emotional shit you put me through.
I feel like dying everyday.
I am dying,
a piece at a time.
First it was my dreams,
I don't even remember them.
Next it was my style, my voice,
my life, my mind, my childhood.
Everything down the drain.
You get mad and yell.
You yell so loud over and over.
you yell until I shake until I fear you.
Until I feel rotten inside.
You yell until you decieve me into thinking you're right.
And you are. I have failed you
I have ruined it all.
I have killed it all.
I'm rotten, I'm wicked, I'm dead.
I try to scream back,
to let you know what I'm feeling.
But you've missed my life,
you don't know this girl.
it would take to long to tell you everything
everything I long to tell you
You don't understand the battle
I'm fighting with my soul
I'm trying not to give in to all this pain
you sit there and cry
telling me how awful your life is
if only you could see mine
maybe yours would be better
I sit there and fight off the tears
I can't let you see.
You think its impossible for me to feel these things
I'm young I can't be depressed
I can't be unhappy
You've given up on me
You are the one hurting me
why can't you stop
why can't you love me like you say you do,
mother.

Shhhh...


Every day you worship the
machine and say it changes
nothing in you. Mutated society,
blinders now part of flesh not
accessory - cut them off!
your scars will be beautiful.
Shut up these billion souls I hear
screaming every day. Too many
I can't quiet them all. We nurturers
grow weary too many tears
to kiss away, not enough hours
in a day.
How bored he has become
dancing souls away...so easy -
candy from a baby offered up on
silver platters. HOW PATHETIC
it's our resistance which flatters.
Just stop
giving yourself away. If you cant
chose your partner then change your
dance if he likes it slow then make
it fast. Joyous gift so callously
tossed - such disregard that angels
weep. Oh how to quiet these
billion screaming souls and trillion
angels cries, moaning laments of
gods who've tried who haunt my
dreams...I'm tired.
