RUNNER-UP:
Teeya
Open heart surgery
Roz_EZ and Raz_ORS
The scars on my breasts
Will never heal
They are too deep
Physical mastectomy scars
Affecting my womanhood
Don't look good
In a swimsuit
Roses and razors
My gift to the world
I don't do nakedness
Only in the dark
Deeper still the psychological
The coldness of being
Need heart defibrillation
Paddles from a canoe
Cause bruised ribs
Black and blue face
The swelling is telling
My life a microcosm
Roses and razors
My ex-boyfriend
Was really an animal
Held down repeatedly
By his master's voice
Forced romanticism
Roses and razors
A kiss with a fist
Sex,sex,sex, and
Don't forget the violence
How can I?
He said I should
Get a job in Hooters
The heart shatters
Need open heart surgery
Roll away the stone
Heart transplant
To change this
This Ice Queen Bitch
Into Martha Stewart
Before the scars on my
Chest and heart
Are overtaken by
The self-inflicted scars
I cut into my arms
Razors and roses

WORDS NOT SPOKEN
As the sun shines up within the destine skies and here I stand as this image of you by my side enters the depth and deepness of my mind as we stand atop of the highest mountain that we could find, within this dimension of neither space nor time for as my desire begins in my mind it slowly pushes my heart to its total limitation of a strong anticipation to come as these seductive thoughts open up the true feelings of my body and soul.
So may I have this time to speak my mind from the deepness of my soul for as our frequency reaches its highest level as the vibration shakes us down to our very soul of our souls, for I have become so intoxicated by your inner beauty as much as your outer beauty for your mind has haunted me from the very beginning of our paths crossing within this world of time.
For even now as your very image reemerges from the darkness and deepness of my silent thoughts in my mind I just wanna hold you tight through the silents of the night of a full moonlight shinning bright up within, the universe of the skies for I wanna feel your body in my strong arms as I softly kiss you behind your ears as I whisper the silent thoughts of seduction that I want to do with only you alone within the night time of neither space nor time for I wanna love you just like that under a full moonlight.

Distance
Memories are the pills I take for the heart ache,
each one a different flavour,
fresh every time from my limbic system,
all we have been to and through.
Sweet and refreshing,
Beautiful and enchanting.
Alas it's just a quick fix
And each one leaves me worse.
As I resolve not to misss you,
I only fall deeper,
Dreaming of our next meet.
Absence makes the heart fonder,
But It also makes me wonder,
When you will finally be mine- forever.
Till then I guess we shall make more pills,
My only fear though is an overdose!
each one a different flavour,
fresh every time from my limbic system,
all we have been to and through.
Sweet and refreshing,
Beautiful and enchanting.
Alas it's just a quick fix
And each one leaves me worse.

I only fall deeper,
Dreaming of our next meet.
Absence makes the heart fonder,
But It also makes me wonder,
When you will finally be mine- forever.
Till then I guess we shall make more pills,
My only fear though is an overdose!

Quite A Stir
One look it’s all it took and he was hooked,
He’d never seen someone as beautiful as her,
He struggled to say the words but he stuttered,
Her loveliness had caused in him quite a stir.
He closed his eyes and imagined this paradise,
With her allure he was sure it was mere perfection
And though he strived to get all the words out,
There was an unexplainable extraordinary connection.
She looked at him with a casual curious glance,
As he shied away still trying to find the right words,
They didn’t know it but this was the start of a romance,
Never really knowing when love and inspiration occurs.
He smiled at her, with the most sincere emotion,
He’d never seen someone as beautiful as her,
From that point on he swore she’d be his muse,
Because her loveliness had caused in him quite a stir.

Thank you again for all poets that contributed to my first hosting a Comp. I rely enjoyed all the pieces from emerging poets I myself at the tender age of 77 feel still trapped there and out of my depth sometimes against all the constellation of the establishment of talent in DU. I posted that there would be a public vote but due to the number of competitions ending at the same time the only option was for the setter (myself) to pick a winner and runner up. My small number of wins are for Composition not Critique and felt quite stressed but tried to balance the originality of the entries against the brief. I feel unable to give any critique on the wining piece only that its format and content drew me to it Regards SLIP
