Time to vote for your favorite poem. :squinoa: Good luck to all! :gift:

==========================

QUOTE ("The Plunge" - Slice)

I stand at the edge of the cliff and say
“I know I should not delay"

I don't know what's at the bottom for me
But for a reason unknown, it I must see

The mist rolls away and my eyesight returns
The sun comes out and my eye burns

I grow acustom to the heat and look to the place
Between me and the unknown is to much space

I get frustrated at my blindness and lunge
Unknowingly I just took the plunge.


===========================

QUOTE ("degringolade" - Nightshade)

I take it as a sign, that now is the time to say goodbye
                                         { already, all ready }
Here, my dear, is a kiss of fond farewells
and once more we'll bid adieu, our smiles of sunny days strangely few
And to unveil the words unspoken, this is your cue.

But read the fictions pouring out into words,
and for me, please, promise to believe it all
I beg of you--clad in these shirts of lies and half-truths.
Ignorance is bliss and all of these days were light
Do you dare dive into the depths--
into libraries of selective memories for a single truth?
Step away, however, rewind and reconsider this fact--

Halfway between here and nowhere
we're alone in a room of millions
saying, "I love you, but who are you?"


==============================

QUOTE ("Don't Make A Wish" - Aurora)

Don't wish on daisy petals,
Don't wish on shooting stars.
Forget all you have hoped for--
Lock your heart behind the bars.

Don't yearn for things too far to reach
Don't put yourself through pain.
Don't for things that cannot be,
You'll only wish in vain.

Don't dream of happy endings
Don't be a little girl
For wishing is for children
And you're in a dream world.

Don't waste your tears on people
For they're not worth the anguish.
Don't waste your time on fantasies,
You'll never get your wish.


==========================

QUOTE ("Burn" - goddess_in_blue)

Like a fire burning bright,
a lantern providing light.
Burn.
As the sun set's to settle,
and the flower closes its petal's.
Burn.
When a breath is drawn in vain,
its one more blood drop to a stain.
Burn.
A Rose taking full bloom in radiance,
with its soothing, calming fragrance.
Burn.
Forever seeming as an ocean,
the waves roaring in motion.
Burn.
The breaking of a gentle heart,
slowly being torn apart.
Burn.
Forgiveness that comes from within the soul,
catching error, fault, and blemish like a trap hole.
Burn.
The love of regret and pain,
as it catches ignition of a flame.
Burn.
Ashes of something once so strong and proud,
may they be risen up again and found.
Burn.


===========================

QUOTE ("Heaven's Love" - Odayaka)

Heaven, the place they say where all dreams good come true.
The place where all suffering, anguish and pain is null.
Where you can live a life of eternal happiness forevermore.
A place where I could never go.

I have sinned and hath done horrid deeds.
Deeds that I can not forget no matter what.
You were no sinner you were as pure as snow.
Gentle as the lamb, as graceful as the deer you were.

Your eyes of benevolence didn't deserve to see my eyes of sin.
And yet whenever you looked into my eyes you saw different.
You saw one with a shy and lonely heart.
One who felt worthless and sad.

Now I realize that while I may not think I deserve to go there.
He, you and the rest there think the other.
I will wait for that day when I will see you again.
And witness the celestial bliss.]

I'm going to wait till tomorrow to end the contest since I don't have time to end it today. I'll be free tomorrow so I can make the awards. ^_^

Sorry, for all the double posting, but has everyone on this forum voted? Cause we have a tie breaker. So if we don't have another voter by tonight, I'm going to have to pick on of out ties as a first place winner and I don't want that to seem unfair, but that's the way it looks unless we get another poll?! :anime:
