Now what are the requirements to this Competition?
1) Love, loss, romance, regret
2) Any style poetry
3) Short story (Please no more than 1,250 words).
Good Luck
Never Know
They will never know
The feelings I hide inside
They will never know
Friends may come
Friends may go
But they will never know
I will never show
The pain I keep inside
They will never know
Will they see it in my eyes
Will they know from the lies
I scribble in the snow?
Will they feel the heat
That burns with every sigh
I tried to hide long ago?
I will never tell
How everything befell
They can never know
What life did foretell
That I remain in hell
They can never know

"Whispers"
In shadows deep and still
Where echoes dare not creep
The wind, with mournful thrill
Doth sing the souls to sleep
The stars, like tearful eyes
Watch over graves of stone
As dreams of broken skies
Wander the dark alone
The moon, a pale-faced bride
Her veil of clouds does wear
In whispers lost, she cried
A wail of cold despair
Yet still, beneath the gloom
A beauty strange and rare
The flower in the tomb
The rose in silent air
In shadows deep and still
Where echoes dare not creep
The wind, with mournful thrill
Doth sing the souls to sleep
The stars, like tearful eyes
Watch over graves of stone
As dreams of broken skies
Wander the dark alone
The moon, a pale-faced bride
Her veil of clouds does wear
In whispers lost, she cried
A wail of cold despair
Yet still, beneath the gloom
A beauty strange and rare
The flower in the tomb
The rose in silent air

After This
Sitting here alone, waiting for someone to take me away from loneliness
And I wonder for how long do I have to wait for someone to caress
And though I dream of love it's so hard to define
And there's no one around that I want to be mine
After this the storm cried onto my lonely heart
That's when I realized that there was no cure for love
And after this the winds howled through my fragile soul
I often wonder who will I be dreaming of
Another day passes by, feeling the same
In truth, someone put out my only flame
I try & focus and figure out who I need
Nobody's there to satisfy my heart I must feed
After this the rain poured from the skies
Hope and wishes filled tears into my eyes
And after this the winds howled through my fragile soul
That's when I realized the way I must go
And I found a way to follow
It led me to another view
Love had found a clue
One day down that lonely road, she came passing by
My heart began to beat, no more rain falling from the sky
I'm now her king & she's my queen
We have found our hidden love
Now the fields are evergreen
My heart is not alone
The storm has disappeared and the skies are clear & blue
The sun is ever so bright, since the day I found you
You're the meaning of my life, the one that makes me sigh
Since the day you dried my heart
You're my everything.
And I wonder for how long do I have to wait for someone to caress
And though I dream of love it's so hard to define

And after this the winds howled through my fragile soul

Ever to Remain
With courage I remember
adoring recall of your grace
woeful in unfeigned sorrow
no mourning shall erase
Latching onto grief and pain
a memoir of what I have lost
assuredly not erased in time
recollections are embossed
Reminiscence offers comfort
with reassuring regularity
authenticating your existence
affording poignant clarity
Intimately keeping you
in the space within my chest
holding you in my mind’s eye
with eidetic intuition I am blessed
Ever remaining a part of me
I shall not take leave, nor forget
remembering the spirit of you
without exception or regret

no mourning shall erase

Crushed
Crushed by life, I bear the weight,
Of dreams undone and love too late.
A heavy heart, a mind in chains,
A soul adrift in endless pains.
The world, a pressing, cruel embrace,
Leaves marks unseen on my worn face.
In every breath, I feel the squeeze,
Of unseen hands that never ease.
Each step, a struggle, each day, a fight,
A battle waged from dark to light.
The smiles I wear, the words I say,
Are shields against the fray.
My family laughs, their voices clear,
A distant sound I barely hear.
They thrive in sunlit realms of grace,
Unaware of my silent chase.
The future looms, a shadowed beast,
With every hope and joy deceased.
I stumble through this bleak terrain,
With nothing left but numbing pain.
No comfort in the stars above,
No solace in the ones I love.
Their warmth a distant, fleeting glow,
While deep within, the darkness grows.
Crushed by life, I sink and fade,
A ghost within the daylight made.
In silent screams, I find my end,
A broken path I cannot mend.
Birth is the start of a long fall,
A journey where we lose it all.
From light to dark, from hope to pain,
We tumble through the endless rain.
The first breath drawn, a whispered sigh,
The beginning of a slow goodbye.
Innocence wrapped in tender care,
Unaware of burdens we’ll bear.
Each step we take, each path we choose,
Brings closer still the things we lose.
The joy we find, the love we hold,
Are fleeting moments, a tale consoled.
Life’s climb is steep, its edge so near,
With every height, a growing fear.
The dreams we chase, the stars we seek,
Are shadows that grow ever bleak.
In childhood’s arms, we learn to stand,
But soon enough, we leave that land.
Adulthood comes with heavy tolls,
And with it, burdens on our souls.
The weight of years, the scars of time,
In every fall, a silent chime.
Reminding us of what we’ve lost,
Of innocence turned cold as frost.
Birth is the start of a long fall,
A spiral through life’s shadowed hall,
We grasp at light, we fight the night,
But in the end, we lose the fight.
And so we fall, from first to last,
A journey through the shadows cast.
From birth to death, we lose it all,
In this long, unending fall.

A Shadow of Love
"Standing in the pouring rain loading my nine
Watching my girl and some fool kissing while they wine and dine ,
"To me their dead without a shadow of a doubt
Because I'm taking both of them deceiving motherfuckers out,
"I stroll across the street, black coat flapping in the wind
The Grim Reaper already over there hovering, because he know it's their end,
"Hi bitch. By bitch. As my nine is aimed at her eye
Terror shows across her face as skull and brain begins to fly,
"I don't give a fuck if it's a public place
Because I'm not standing for betrayal or this damn disgrace,
"The motherfucker is scared, because in my eyes all he see is hate
The nine mili-meter goes off again, sending him to his fate,
"That bitch was my everything, and she knew I loved her
But that shit ended when she start fucking my brother,
"Now they both have their lover's suite in cheaters hell
As the police is dragging my ass off to jail".

Hardest Goodbye
Time continues to stands still
As my heart still has not got the time to heal
I was not prepared for the abrupt goodbyes
Or your spirit kissing me in the wind
As you tell me that you will see me on the other side
When I lost you, I lost apart of myself that I can never get back
I lie awake at night on my soaked pillow
Wishing that I can have one more minute, second, hour or day with you
But, I knew that once God collected you my angel
That you were his for the taken
We are truly living on borrowed times
You can truly be here today and gone tomorrow
So, please cherish those that are placed in your life
Never take their love and presence for granted
As my heart still has not got the time to heal
I was not prepared for the abrupt goodbyes
Or your spirit kissing me in the wind
As you tell me that you will see me on the other side
When I lost you, I lost apart of myself that I can never get back
I lie awake at night on my soaked pillow
Wishing that I can have one more minute, second, hour or day with you
But, I knew that once God collected you my angel
That you were his for the taken

You can truly be here today and gone tomorrow
So, please cherish those that are placed in your life

The Bitter, Lazy, Quitter
What’s a word for when you're crying
And the tears burn like acid on your skin,
Then the mirror shows a stranger's eyes,
And every breath feels like giving in.
When getting up feels impossible,
And staying in bed is the only escape,
When you try to sleep each night
But dark thoughts steal any chance you take.
When the days blend into each other,
And the weight of emptiness pulls you down,
When eating feels like a chore you can’t bear,
And hunger is swallowed by an aching frown.
When your chest is empty and full at once,
And everything hurts but feels like nothing,
When isolation is your only comfort,
And masking it all has become so numbing.
When you stare at your hands and feel strange,
As if they're not even your own,
When you hear your own voice, hollow and distant,
A stranger echoing through a vacant home.
I call it mourning,
Others call it bitter.
My family calls it lazy,
My friends call it quitter.
But they don’t see the battles fought
Against the shadows that scream my name,
They don’t see the tears that fall unheard,
The weight of the grief I cannot explain.
I wonder if they'll ever understand,
Or if I'll fade before they do.
A ghost in the corners of their laughter,
Another forgotten truth.
