RUNNER-UP:
crimsin
Fell in love
Me first 
Fragile Heart
I feel pain throughout my body
It runs through my feet up to my mind
Now I’m thinking is she all that matters in my life?
It’s my heart throbbing that makes me sick
My emotions killing me till I regret wanting her
The reason to my words
No matter the trouble
Her smile brings me to a fairytale
One touch and it brings me to flight
But this is not reality
I just want to be a part of her life
I’m too nervous
But I can’t imagine a world without her
If I could just get her to stay one night
I know I could make her feel special
Two nights to make her stay forever
But imagining is different then
Holding, kissing and making love
I guess that’s why I feel like I have such a fragile heart
I have so much want for this girl
She makes me feel cool yet she makes me burn
Now I’m thinking how can I make her mine all mine
I guess once I try there’s no turning back
Today I’ll jump into risk
I’m scared but I need to forget about rejection
Because for bliss you must fight through the pain
Now I’m walking through the hallway and yelling out her name
And then I say
I just want to be a part of your life
I’m too nervous
But I can’t imagine a world without you
Stay the night with me
One night and I’ll make you feel special
Two nights and you’ll never leave me again
But imagining is different then
Holding, kissing and making love
I guess that’s why I feel like I have such a fragile heart

The Day I met him
The Day I met him Everything Fell into Place,
I no Longer Felt so Out of Place,
He Fixed the Places that Were Broken,
He Stitched me back together,
The Day I met him,
Everything Felt Right,
He use to Lay with me and Whisper everything would be Alright,
He Stitched me back Together,
He Made Everything better..
The Day I met him was The Day I knew I could Survive.
The Day I met him Everything Fell into Place,
I no Longer Felt so Out of Place,

He Stitched me back Together,
He Made Everything better..

Campaign
The first time, we walk into love
Like an infant walking into no-man's land.
All around us, brilliance and sound,
Lights and colours,
And no thought of shields or weapons.
We are, of course, mortally wounded.
The next time, remembering the first,
We seek again the vision and the moment,
The headlong rush, the reckless loss of self.
But now, from the corner of the eye, we notice movement,
And when the end comes, though it devastates,
We realize that it was half-foreseen.
And so, on.
As time goes by, we gird ourselves;
Reluctantly, we learn the use
Of plans and strategies:
What favours us, and what we should avoid.
But, knowing, still we court the coup de grâce.
We cannot now be innocent,
We cannot shed the baggage that we bear.
And yet, among the broken masonry,
We look for what we started out to find:
Brilliance and sound,
Lights and colours,
And someone other than ourselves to know.

When I see you again.
My heart crumbles to the floor.
Exploding with hate as I stare into your eyes only to find a more severe hate.
You smile, you grin, you mock my pain.
You enjoy locking me up chaining me down.
As I see your face change into a different face.
A comforting embrace is what ya now possess.
Was it all a simple lie?
As you stroke the wet tear off my face.
And you turn your back to me and smile with your same old mocking grin.
As hate builds up in me I realized that I might actually still be in love with you...
As you gave me a fragile prim rose stained with blood.
And I see a single tear come down your face, and I see we are exactly the same.

Women and Lying:
It would be a lie,
To deny,
That I'm that kind of guy,
That throws his heart,
like a tennis ball,
waiting for the girl to call,
and when she doesn't,
wondering,
if my emotions,
mean a thing.
But the one thing,
I will never do, is lie,
with her, upon her,
or lies of other kinds,
she broke my heart,
I'm broken down
and caught between two minds.
As broken beats,
from broken hearts,
Cause broken rifts,
which drift apart.
I'm honest
but I'm on my knees
those girls who lie
with guys that please.

A memory born
She'd fallen in love
It came out of the blue
As this realisation grew
she stood taking in the view
of the cold, melting landscape
As if on cue blue skies appeared
The sun streamed in, putting her on show
as melting snow fell from tree branches
on unsuspecting people below
What was she to do with this newfound love?
She decided to accept it for what it was
Hold no expectations it would ever be returned
and move on with her life
Something inside her was opening up
Tears moving slowly over smiling cheeks
she wonders how she can feel sad
and happy at the same time
The warmth in her heart cannot be denied
A memory has been born on this cold winter day
She'd fallen in love
Who would have thought....
She'd fallen in love
It came out of the blue
As this realisation grew
she stood taking in the view
of the cold, melting landscape
As if on cue blue skies appeared
The sun streamed in, putting her on show

on unsuspecting people below
What was she to do with this newfound love?
She decided to accept it for what it was
Hold no expectations it would ever be returned
and move on with her life
Something inside her was opening up
Tears moving slowly over smiling cheeks
she wonders how she can feel sad
and happy at the same time
The warmth in her heart cannot be denied
A memory has been born on this cold winter day
She'd fallen in love
Who would have thought....
In strength and love (for Carol)
high above the atmosphere
your love hovers
while angels look earthwards
to where ordinary souls
search restlessly for perfection
beyond the fallen statues
of death and decay
you are resurrected
on this crucifix of wonder
where the world can behold your beauty
in the midst of love and hope
I hold you close
while all the gods
close their eyes in awe
and refuse to say a word
high above the atmosphere
your love hovers
while angels look earthwards
to where ordinary souls
search restlessly for perfection
beyond the fallen statues
of death and decay
you are resurrected
on this crucifix of wonder
where the world can behold your beauty
in the midst of love and hope
I hold you close
while all the gods
close their eyes in awe
and refuse to say a word

KRYLON KING Part 1 (Meet)
Back when I owned the world
Too young to know that I could be
Bought
Sold
and Leased
As needed
I found my voice in Krylon microphones
The rainbows within these ebony shoals echoed from rooftops and tunnels
I owned buildings on Park Place
and Atlantic Avenue too
My railroads ran through Harlem
all the way to the Coney Island Boardwalk
I still remember that summer morn you took over my world
Honey and caramel lacquered over flesh were your only armor
Your freckles looked like humming birds had kissed your cheeks
Your almond eyes were to be the ones to heal parts of me not yet broken
and make crumble the man I thought would be indestructible
I remember everything and nothing of what we said that first day
Except my promise to give you the world
You laughed, Oh please
Because you'd heard these declarations from boys and men before
The next day
You were going to school, waiting on the platform
I watched you, unseen
The steel dragon rumbled in on time
You saw it right away
Your name
stretched out over silvery skin
the length of car 0715
I asked
Could I share you're train today?
You giggled and let a few others join us too
So began the odyssey
In and out of the light
Fast starts and hard stops
So many people riding with us
crowding us
dividing us
And while the world is no longer mine to give
My heart still is
as long as you're still willing to ride
In and out of the light

She asked, Could I really give her the world
The pout of her lips and raised eyebrow told me
she had her doubts
All it takes is a day, I promised
My pockets were filled with dust so,
There would be no movie and jumbo popcorn
No great concert nor candlelit dinner
I had no car so there'd be no driving to the beach to play in the waves
I took her to my temple
Home of the Gods
Monet
Dali
Da Vinci
Rembrandt
Wings shaped by the Greeks and Egyptians
I paid twenty five cents for both of us to enter
Paying a Suggested Donation, my salvation
I was bold in taking her hand
Showing her the temples of the pharaohs
I traced my hand over the cold hard ebony catacombs
It's pitch and facade reflected my usual veneer
But that was not for today, not for her
I showed her the armor of the conquistadors
The ones who saturated her Taino blood
She told me she was to be a dancer
as we stood before the bronzed grace of Degas
Without care she modeled every position right there for me
Spanish Dancer
Arabesque Over Right Leg
Bow
She asked if I danced
I write
Show me
You'll fight against him
With anguished desperation
Doubting He's for you
Close your eyes beloved
His susurrations fill you
making you complete
Your untold rapture
Bathes you in eternal pools
With your love for Him
With her pouted lips
And arched doubting brow
she asks,
Was that suppose to be about me,
And you
I don't know about you, but I was talking about me and God,
I reply
You're a bad girl I see
She laughs, and I hear her sing
We spend the rest of the day walking
in and out of the light of every part of the world
Talking about everything and nothing
At times just with our eyes
As I took her home and we entered the subway
I hopped the turnstile as I often did
Stretching out my hand for her to do the same
Sometimes you have to take risks to get where you want to be,
I winked
She dug in her bag, found a token and paid her fare
Sometimes a price has to be paid first to ride freely papi,
she smiled
And we continued our journey,
In and out of the light

Graham for whatever reason that was the only haiku that ive read that i actually liked.
for me love was so inebriating
love was so invigorating
love was so illogical
love was so improbable
for young you it was always about fashion and shoes
but for me i just found whatever boots your wearing knockable
for me love has always been about a ramble echoed over blues
for me love has always been a 50/50 gamble we could always lose
everybody gotta be bonny and clyde but me and you just do what we do
for me love could always be unhealthy
but i know that you with me whether well or wealthy
for better for worse
if you died before me even though we no longer "we" id prolly still throw myself right under your hearse
love is a feeling of pure nirvana to quote Nazareth "love hurts"

Think of him from dawn to dusk
Never new the meaning of love and never loved.
Now every inch of me is filled with the essence of him.Wake up everyday in the middle of the night and pray to God to make him mine. Though my bones clutch at the thought that some one might becomes his before the presence of mine.
Take my imperfections and measure his perfections. My love will not stop for him even if I dye but hope that all my happiness are given to him without a shadow of evil sight who may disconnect him from a perfect puzzle piece.
Never felt so shy looking at the image of charismatic figure. My cheeks blush and send me into paradise. Angel eyes perfect from left to right stare at me like we have known each other for centuries.
Moving on is hard want to move on and forget him but can't as I'm his and he's mine made for each other from the sky though life is not fair.
Misery surrounds thinking I may not get him. Can't predict my destiny but hope for the best.

- Dearest Heart -
Oh, my dearest heart, twin to my soul,
I love you with the utmost of my being.
Both with passion beyond all control…
And with a heart beyond mortal seeing!
With everything I am and all I ever was,
I love you, and am yours for all of time.
And I shall love you ever, without pause,
Until the stars become far less sublime…
Than the magic of our fair beating hearts.
Even galaxies beyond all mortal counting,
Have less of our true enchantment’s arts.
All universes are in our love, abounding!
I long to hear your heartbeat as we lie…
Wrapped in each other’s arms, at night!
I long to kiss you, until it makes us sigh,
Until we are lost: in every sort of delight.
To hear you whisper my name lovingly…
As I rest my head upon your bare chest,
That is like unto earthly paradise, to me.
You are the heaven that I long for best…
And I am the angel who, is home at last,
At your side, where I forever belonged!
Soon, you will part from a haunted past.
Your future with me will be, like a song!
We shall sing brightly, in our happiness…
And the good spirits will all sing with us.
I will attire myself in most splendid dress,
And give myself to you in a lover’s trust.
The summer birds shall sing in their joys!
But we two lovebirds will have our own.
Free of hatred and sorrow that destroys,
We will be together, one love, one home.
We are two dearest hearts, one rhythm…
Bound beyond all time, to walk together.
And in your face I see the beauty within!
I am yours my dearest, now and forever.
Oh, my dearest heart, twin to my soul,
I love you with the utmost of my being.
Both with passion beyond all control…
And with a heart beyond mortal seeing!
