[That Damn Goblin]

Hey, this is Cupcake. I post around the writer's forums a bit and have some gold to spare.
My solution: get you guys to entertain me for a promised donation toward your current quest or (if I'm feeling generous) I might just buy you something shiny off your wish list.

The rules:

Short or long, in this contest size doesn't matter.

Check your spelling and grammar.

Entries must be in by January 7th. Judging will take place the next day.

Poems are to be inspired by whatever word or phrase I post below:

CRUSH

Good luck.

I can't help but see,
the glances that you give me...
Is this an halucination?
For I don't know if this is real
or just a mask appeal.
I wish I'd know the truth,
but who am I to prove?
Why can't you tell me
or just whisper in my ear lightly,
the answers to my questions unanswered.
Or is there a barrier
that keeps your words teathered?
As for me,
yes it is true,
that I have grown fond of you,
but making a move isn't as easy.
Maybe what is needed is time...
Time to play the tape slowly,
time to watch what happens,
time to be the audience of the scene
and just see what will be.


there is no title... i just went with the words =)
Hope you like it
I guess u could name it crush if you wanted to... idk.

I stare at him all day
Dreaming and wishing that he was mine
Then there was a day
But not just a day,
A SPECIAL day
The lover in my dream came up to me
And asked me and we kissed away


*i know this is stuupid butt i just thought of it on the top of my head(:

((Not entering my own contest, but I feel like writing an example. I'm loose on the grammar.))

stop.
you never said it
so I can't forget it
a look across a room
before the windows cracked
exploded in on us
and the ceiling caved
and my world tumbled in
into yours, an implosion emotion
as we were both
crushed.

[That Damn Goblin]

Is there no one else? I'm offering quite a bit. I was hoping more people would challenge their abilities.

Crushed...
You crushed me
I feel numb now,
No feeling beats in my heart now.
I was crushed under the weight of love
I loved you
I loved you with all the might from the stars above
Never could I imagine that love could make you so
Crushed
There was a sudden pain from within
Like needles and pins to my heart
when our love so pure
like a chain was
Crushed
How many times most a girl feel this pain?
Why is her love always hopelessly in vain?
Why can't her feelings be mutual?
Like the sea to the sand
And the dove to a tree
But that tree is
Crushed
and that dove has flown
And here I lie in the grass with face to the sky all alone
Trying to imagine the sign that might have shown
But my memories, they are
Crushed
I see my reflection now
In such a large town
The people
I understand their fate
When eye meets eye
And one last glance
A small meet
across the street
and a life can be
Crushed
My life has become a cliche
And this I always feared
but it now remains clear
one time or another
We will all be
Crushed...
Why
?

ugggh! So Cliche, though I think I have good structure, I guess. I've never really written a poem before.

A Timid Tap on a Shoulder


In hesitation I pass you by,
half-unwilling to break the mask
of your concentration. The earnestness
of your pleas makes me
wish I had my cat with me.

She would sit on your lap,

she would kneed your legs as you pet her and
take in all the words you cannot speak aloud,
step around to the carpet and vomit them into the open
in a way (I’m sorry) you can’t. She would
take the pain for a moment to let you
continue on (wherever you go) and I

am not my cat. I am staring
through the warped-glass-pane of my
(personal) interests and hope for a
Smile. I dream

of the gentle strokes of your fingertips on my palm and
I watch you take the pin out of the center of my body, (lift me
from my sarcophagic display case) cause
beatings
where I thought all had ceased yet

I want to wake up. I

pause
in my half-completed turn to
say hello and you walk on. (not ignored but
unnoticed) I stand in my continuous tilt
until the sun falls to hide the strain
of my stretched eyes.

They are sealed closed,
so I may follow you still,
and I can’t help but smile
as sleep
returns.




Hope it brought you some sensation of reaching toward another.

I stop,
To take a deep breath,
To steady my step,
At the sight of you.

Every look we share is magnetic,
Every accidental brush electric,
Every moment with a treasure
Forever in my heart.

I watch,
As you talk with her,
Laugh and surely
You'll be flirting soon.

It's always this way,
Every sad day the same,
Because I'll never have the courage
To start.

And you'll never know,
Because I've never said as much,
That I know the reason why
They call it a "crush".

[CPT Kurahara Kazemauru]

Silence is what follows me
Through out the clouded day
The wind whispers in my ear
it tells me to run away
The clouds dart to and fro
They seem to be afraid
But I continue walking
On that gray and cloudy day
The sky is light up
As the lightning shows a warning
The thunder claps to tell me go back
And yet I do keep walking
On the darkening cloudy day
The wind picks up and howls for me to pray
I reach the the yard as the lightning cracks
I fall to the ground all limp
And I lay on your grave as my tears roll away
Were together again on that dark and cloudy day

In the front seat
now somewhere near the engine block
tuxedo pants neat
ly pressed around his knees
the Prom King
Remaining grey eye sees
the tracks, not as abandoned as once thought
startled affronted train
bisecting
folding
making an accordion of the car borrowed especially for this last
dance, this final loving chance to get
close
to the girl spread over the wreckage of the back seat

[BasedCringe69]

How can I bring myself not to love thee?
Endless rivers flow with intense force, greater than any others.
A force driven solely by one’s heart’s desires.
So why is it thou cannot see?
Are such cherished feelings so opaque they go unnoticed?

My heart beats only to complement thou,
For if thy steady drum stopped,
My chest would throb.
When silent tears crawl down thy cheek,
The same tears fall upon mine.
If a slip of paper cuts thy flesh,
Scarlet blood ripples across mine.

The angels look upon us in envy,
For even this one-sided love is worth jealousy.
But even as she walks down the aisle clad in white gown,
But even as you await her,
But even as I wish your love’s prevail,
I cannot put these cherished feelings to rest.

Sorry, there is no name, and it doesn't really rhyme.... Oh well. sweatdrop

[C-Gholy]

Good people come and go,
And we all hit high and low.
So...

In my dreams, I only blushed,
But in reality I got crushed.
Would...

Maybe I'd use flirting,
But I'm scared of the hurting.
You...

I yearn to make you numb,
And you know so well I am dumb.
Love...

You are so appealing;
I wonder if your heart is real?
Me...

Would you ever give me,
What I would always give thee?
?

How Do I Know That
You won't crush my Heart like so
Underneath your Foot

This on happens to be my favorite. Certainly creative. Win.
