Flamboyant Atrocity

I touched her where it counted
and she touched me on my fountain
and we touched,
oh we touched
two sparks of eternal flamboyant atrocity
burning up the world
and we touched,
oh we touched
we were hard before the world
was soft
we stayed in our smoky vapors
eternal candescence obliterating ignorance
and we touched,
oh we touched

Not a new poem, but this was a good one to share.

- To Make You Mine -

A Valentine’s Day Poem

I promised Heaven I would find a way to make you mine,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the very longest time.
I thought about all the things that people might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with a rhyme.

Flowers are so beautiful, but in time the petals might fade,
And that would leave you sad, and wanting for their shade.
I thought that might make you unhappy, and so I was afraid!
Then at last I created a poem that, just for you, was made.

Candies can be tasty, but when you eat them they are gone,
And that would leave you hungry, with a face sad and long.
I thought about how I’d cheer you, and it hit me very strong!
I realized a poem would last forever, and sing just like a song.

Jewelry can be lovely, but soon it tarnishes with aging glow,
And that would leave you gloomy, with nothing left to show.
I thought that would be a poor way to see how well I know,
That what you want is this poem, with words that ever flow.

I promised Heaven I would please you this Valentine’s Day,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the most special way.
I thought about all the gifts that such a girl might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with this rhyme.

||Break Again||

Giving up on me? I see,
I'd do it if you were me.
I'm not pretty like she is,
But don't leave me without a kiss.

I'll never hold you back,
If it's your life's track.
But there's no point to me crying,
When I'd rather be dying.


I'm not smart like he is,
I don't blame you for leaving this.
I wouldn't like to stay,
With someone like me anyway.

I think you should go,
I think you should know,
That's it not her you'll need,
It's the girl you've never seen.


I've been right by your side,
Lending my shoulder to cry.
Healing your heart as they break it,
But if it's me I could make it,

Never break again.

I find this poem in the net and though this poem is posted to many sites with different poet's name; I find it just the perfect one for this competition and to express my very own exact feelings...I loved once, lost that, tried to commit suicide, failed in that and now passes my days with sleeping pills coz whenever I'm awake the memory haunts like hell! Just unbearable... So I want to share this poem taken from the internet and not sure about the poet but it expresses my exact feelings and suits the competition theme.

Why are you gone?

I misss the times when you were here
telling me to have no fear
To hold my head up high and strong
add happy notes to my sad song

I miss the way you look at me
As if I were too blind to see
The path I'm on might hurt and scathe
But all goes well if you just have faith

I miss the sound of your sweet voice
Through bitter times a saving noise
That told me what was right and wrong
But rang in my ears for far too long

A caring person, you were such
That helped and hurt me, oh so much
You'd guide and mislead me through the day
You left me lonely when I'd rather you stay

Over things like that you had no control
A rock set in motion will continue to roll
No matter how hard you tug and heave
You were always pushed and forced to leave

Then one day you never returned
My tears so hot they almost burned
Aware now about what I lack
But crying and mourning wont bring you back

For me to let out what I need to say
I can't do much more than pray
No longer am I weak, my hearts quite strong
From adding a happy chorus to a sad, sad song.

*Probably it's written By ~ Dane Yule.* I posted it as it suits the competition theme and expresses my feelings from first word to last word.

To call yourself a Dad
is to man up
to your responsibilities.

Why then
did I
accept the blessing
only for you
to cook it up
on the last tablespoon
we had left in the drawer?

Why then
did you steal my blood's breath from me?

Every drop of its heated texture
seeped through
embedded in his brain.

Why then,
didn't you eat?

To call myself a Father
all I had do was stare..

||BROKEN...||
"broken heart..." what a cruel feeling...so very, very cruel....it is a feeling of discust ....the word of loneliness ....a feeling that is a KILLER itself ...it is the feeling of despair*...the feeling of the lost and an extra addition to /depression\ we all have. Once you FEEL that one feeling...it takes ages to get out of that dark abyss we call hell. Its all stuck in our heads. The FEAR OF DIEING ALONE. Its a feeling Deep, DEEP inside your blood driven curse organ we call "HEART" It is as if someone we truly cared about cut into our scarless skin and DeVoUrEd it....its almost a dropping feeling deep inside so...so hurtful you close your fists and press them into your chest SUDDENLY dropping to your knees...and sheding a tear thou can not hold in..year after year it repeats again....it only takes so long to break....thus makes me STRONG....but ||BROKEN....||

This Deaf Dancer      



Where do I go from here
how do I rid your fear
I answer
but nothing's clear
this deaf dancer
through the floor
can hear .


I feel every minute
all the seconds
that tick in it
just remember
I'm real
and from no one I steal
if it rolls I'm the wheel
and if nobody gets it
well I do
your magnetic
telekinetic
delectably hectic
a comprehensible skeptic
understandable , unhandable
loving , apathetic


I drive myself mad here
going around
mental hemispheres
I know I'm not perfect
kind of glass or a perspex
breakable , flexible
clarity you just can't see
together we are sailing free
untethered jocularity
heavy feathers are not
you and me
simply because
they just can't be
we endeavour in hilarity .


I pedalled a wipe out
in the street
a dogfight invite  
dinner nightmare
I wore white
the wrong thing to wear
what a night to frighten
the unscared
Horsefly bites
and wine we did share
outdoor delights
of drunken impaired
driving on the right
and you cut my hair
so I thought if I might
recall times
that we shared .


So in all the long
don't get me wrong
I won't hold your flame
but I'll sing your song
as I sit here
you've nothing at all to fear
don't ever
not remember
this deaf dancer  
through the floor
can hear .

Vision Of Fire

Dreamed once without sleeping.
Things around her moved a bit slower.
Moved into a beautiful trance alone I became dazed.
Responsibilities became more difficult.
Nobody knew what the feelings were.
Starving for her looks and touches.
Nothing would stop me at that point.
Visions of mine were powerful surrounded by inner fire.
Those two nights that passed made everything more intense.
There was no competition in my view.
Just you.
Now I have you.

"Goodbye!"

She demanded  
"Hang up the phone  
Let go of the chord  
stretched out between us  
Let the connection be lost over the line  
That has been crossed more often than you want to know  
Say goodbye and press end one last time  
There is no one on this end of the call"  
You placed so long ago you can't remember the sound  
That once made your heart race and your ears vibrate  
Pulsing with the beat she tapped into your mind  
The look in her eyes when she lay next to you  
A distant memory that lingers in the darkness  
When all there was left to say was goodbye  
And you could not pull the words out through your teeth  
Then you could not hang up to hear her voice no more  
Her final act was to cut the line like she did your throat  
That would not let you speak the words she begged you to say  
So now forever in your mind her last word echos, goodbye
