Heartbreak
I lay supine on my bed
Crying my heart out
I feel it breaking
It hurts real bad
The world seems dark
the sky looks grey
My tears fall like rain
that will never go away
Holding my empty bag
I scream 'why me, why me!"
why did they steal it
my mobile phone!!
I lay supine on my bed
Crying my heart out
I feel it breaking
It hurts real bad
The world seems dark
the sky looks grey
My tears fall like rain
that will never go away
Holding my empty bag
I scream 'why me, why me!"
why did they steal it
my mobile phone!!

This piece is brilliant!
Thank you for starting this off Idryad. Could it be that you scared the competitors away?
Thats a mountain out of a mole hill, I think. Oh I don't think I scared anybody away. Many talented DU members are out there. Just hold on.

Now this may seem odd
Since I have already Found God
I mean He Was Always Right Here
My heart sees Him crystal clear
So there's no desire in my heart
To do before my Judgment Day starts
However there is this one thing
It's kind of like Spiritual Bling
That I would want in this Earthly Life
And that's to go to the River Jordan and be Baptized in the same water as Christ...

You steal in the broad daylight
You're even swifter at night
You've stolen my heart
My belief
And my time
My lonely days I've left behind
I was so bold I thought I'd never fall
Now that they're all yours
Im glad,you can have them all
You're even swifter at night
You've stolen my heart
My belief
And my time
My lonely days I've left behind
I was so bold I thought I'd never fall
Now that they're all yours
Im glad,you can have them all
Rain
Torrents of the sky's excess
drowning all beneath.
Washing sins of stubborn deserts;
that choose to wash in Sun.
The drops they race along my nose
then dive just to disperse.
A drop of cloud is all but long-lived,
but worth its weight in air.
The painful pour of relentless rain
eases my unrest.
Such healing beauty at its core.
This word is my best.

Epic piece! It wrapped me up, for fifteen lines I don't think a single soul could better describe the rain. Excellent write!

Ocean
My ocean is an internal place,
full of the most unforgiving seas,
I reach blindly to grasp a lifeline
but there is no one here but me.
The sharks are swimming ever so close,
and I have expelled to them my crimson fluid
in the form of my private, primal prose,
and the end has become so lucid.
I'm swimming constantly, desperately seeking a shore,
but my body is wrecked from the fight.
With every stroke I cling to hope,
but there is nothing but ocean in sight.

Hospital
I was bore here, helpless and screaming as I make my all but forbidden entrance
My life, passing me by as I am welcomed into Satin's realm
The clock is ticking as sickness, death, and new life surrounds my very being
Clean needles sterilize the tainted, Soft beds cradle the unstable,
Food carries the nearly unwanted beings
And yet, here I am entering a dimension where I soon will realize that I was never welcomed to
Hallway after hallway of people I don't recognize; people I will probably never meet
Room after room of nothing but wonder of tomorrows perceived life
Silent sorrows screaming help me, oh please help me out of this place
This is my second home
My third will carry me farther down the line of my destructive path
I was bore here, helpless and screaming as I make my all but forbidden entrance
My life, passing me by as I am welcomed into Satin's realm
The clock is ticking as sickness, death, and new life surrounds my very being
Clean needles sterilize the tainted, Soft beds cradle the unstable,
Food carries the nearly unwanted beings
And yet, here I am entering a dimension where I soon will realize that I was never welcomed to
Hallway after hallway of people I don't recognize; people I will probably never meet
Room after room of nothing but wonder of tomorrows perceived life
Silent sorrows screaming help me, oh please help me out of this place
This is my second home
My third will carry me farther down the line of my destructive path
Down I go now, yet again
You let go now, but don’t tell me when
You enjoy it, willingly
You can feel it, while getting tingly
Your foot jerks fast, you catch my side
I take it as, the thanks you’ll hide
My pained look says, ‘Just you bloody frown’
But it’s the only way you would ever kick me when I’m down
You let go now, but don’t tell me when
You enjoy it, willingly
You can feel it, while getting tingly
Your foot jerks fast, you catch my side
I take it as, the thanks you’ll hide
My pained look says, ‘Just you bloody frown’
But it’s the only way you would ever kick me when I’m down

The Sultry One
Your tantalizing fragrance fills my nostrils
Tall and slender
your figure so appealing
When I am in the mood
it is you that I want to make it just right
Firm yet delicate and smooth
and when your flame has been lit
you become warm and wet
I lay naked on my silk sheets
breathless and waiting...for you
your body...your juices all over me
You are the light in my room on a dark sensual night
Your hotness is at its best once its been poured on my breasts
Oh how I love a candle lit night
Your tantalizing fragrance fills my nostrils
Tall and slender
your figure so appealing
When I am in the mood
it is you that I want to make it just right
Firm yet delicate and smooth
and when your flame has been lit
you become warm and wet
I lay naked on my silk sheets
breathless and waiting...for you
your body...your juices all over me
You are the light in my room on a dark sensual night
Your hotness is at its best once its been poured on my breasts
Oh how I love a candle lit night
