He just wants to be loved. Now you've crushed his only worth he will hang himself before tomorrow.

Happy, mob?

Consume Me

Lovely traces
I can sense you in everything
The way that you move me
Takes me far away – absent. I seek no escape, I flee
Dreaming through your eyes, you wander through your mind
I'm overtaken by the way that you deliver me
I'm transcended, there's no place I'd rather be
Than here in your arms, yet incomplete, it's agony

(chorus)
You consume me, you consume me
Like a burning flame running through my veins
You consume me, move through me
Anytime, anyplace. Invade my space and consume me.

Wholly devoted
I immerse myself in you
Wash me in your love
Cause drowning in the thought of you floods my soul.
I'm taken by the things you do
doesn't matter what I lose, I'm yours
I've walled off my heart you'll never get in
Yet you smash through my defences, time and again
How do you do that? How can that be?
(repeat chorus x2)

There's no other way I can fly. It's you and I, you and I. I'll take you so high,
where you've never been. I'll drop you then catch you.
I'll consume you, burn right through you.
I'll inflame you devastate you.
I'll destroy you then kiss you whole.
I love you, I hate you.


This is a plagiarised set of lyrics. I would disqualify it from the competition if I were you, Kitty, and I'm away to check the submitted poetry.

*edit: Unless, of course, this person is a songwriter that has been somewhat to moderately successful... I'm open to that possibility.[/quote]

It has been brought to my attention that the poem may have been plagiarized.  I therefore, on Jess's advice...disqualify this from the contest....I have written to Jess and until she replies the poem is NULL and VOID...............Kitty

Cymbals of Freedom

Raindrops from clouds of grey
Pouring rain on arid fields
Gushes of cold wind
Against the barren land
Landscapes of my mind

Falling golden circles
On deep murky water
Of stagnant pool deep in dark forests
Falling dead leaves on top
Scenes replayed as the paper is signed

Screaming banshees and shrieking harpies
Discordant sounds of wailing mourners
Slaps of flagellating whips on backs
Thumps of fists on chests
Regrets that plagued my heart

Walking out single once more
Ring-less  finger ever so light
What price freedom
From loveless union
Just sad scenes played and re-played

Empty home, ringing with silence
Walls sighing with memories
Sing the house with loneliness
No strewn boxers, no empty beer cans
Just a resounding stillness, my freedom.

Recalling Mount Olympus

On the altars of Gods
daemons are found
and bound with the sashes of Hera
converted to orthodox lashings.
Wearing the lamb's blood well
sacrifice is always shiny
bringing about the worshippers.

"Never defile the marriage bed."

a younger deity will soon mumble.
Under rumpled sheets though
and another Lord's breath, clastic
ideology phallus' stone, carved of idolatry.
These offerings lay there,next to defamed flesh
purple as royal robes.

Constraints are sacred to you;
a Mars in the guise of Isaac
arousing no holy tongues, save one
making you seem worthy
of the laurel leaves
I crowned your head with long ago.

Gods act fervor of rectitude, as erect
members pillage the temple.
A girl,in absence of light, dances
waiting to clear the inner sanctum.
Baptized Salome in Essene waters
her veils fall away to reveal
the brand of harlot. Herod has one too;
a golden bull for his cock.

Your decadence is Roman upon our bed
and morality, a Masada upon my back.
Ejaculating a perverse prophesy
in seasons of insane messiahs
flesh is exalted in its rotting.

No longer praying
that child's prayer Pharaohs whispered
of innocent semen swallowed
to create a natural world
I can only spit, and stain
icons of mortality in their purer forms.

There is no Jehovah
to resurrect me tonight
to slip the whip from hand
as I weep atop Mt Olympus
and take my place among the Gods.
My rage becomes a lightening bolt.
My humanity ? A graveled road I'll crawl
just to get back home .

I was told that the above was a common Christian song...it must be Protestant...just because I have been extensively exposed to Catholicism ......... and never heard this song in Church.....
So this piece is not counted.
Please do not plagiarize.....this place is for people to write their own stuff....it is NOT marked.....if you put in a poem to EVERY SINGLE COMPETITION....you WILL start winning.....

Did i ever really know you at all ?
Introspection, self reflection, it seems i can recall
Visible anomalies, rose tinted glasses, blind but now I see
Obligatory band of gold, removed from finger, released from hold
Reverence remembered stored in my brain, as then is the bastard you became
Cautious now, free and clear, trust of self my biggest fear
End, the final chapter, finality... and all I can think is i'm finally free

Sorry I find your pain amusing

So it has come to this..
 
I knew it was only
a matter of time
 
time slipping away from me
as I watch it stream down the drain
 
I assumed this would happen
 
Yet,
 
something inside of me wanted to see how far I could push
To see the limits strained
and delight in the frustration you express
trying to keep your composure
 
If you asked if I was sorry,
I'd have to say yes
 
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
 
But I don't regret it
 
I loved every twisted minute of it
At first you didn't realize my manipulative ways
But I began to grow tired of subtlety
 
Decidedly playing your emotions out in front of me
Letting you know the intent behind my wicked ways
 
I love you, yes
 
But dangling you from my strings
leading you astray
and watching the pain in your eyes blossom
 
Was always too much fucking fun
 
I couldn't possibly resist
 
So no, it doesn't surprise me that you're leaving me now
packing your bags, having had enough
 
It only gives me a sickening satisfaction
to know I did us in
Breaking falsely fabricated bonds of trust and affection
 
I know I scarred you for life
But these are the types of wounds I like to inflict
 
Destroying the heart and soul of my lover
 
Repercussions for trying to get too close
 
I assume I'll miss you when you're gone,
miss waking up with you
miss our passionate and frenzied love making
 
Soft kisses on my lips
 
But,
 
if you come back to me, make no mistake
I will continue to play my game
Shredding away your dignity and ability to love
 
All because I find it amusing
