IV. Entries:


1. By Chibi Kya:
Why?
Why do you say, "I love you"?
Why do you do the things you do?
Why do you ask me such questions,
That drive me farther away from you?
How can you sit there and hurt me?
And yet, I'm still in love with you.
It must be,
I'm the one ment for you.



2. By Johnnysbaby:
Ich Libe Du, Johnny (German for : I Love You, Johnny)
My Journey was at an end,
Nothing left to do,
Nothing left to say,
In the fields where the wild flowers grow,
I sat and pondered a while,
My thoughts carried me away,
Daylight turned to dusk,
I looked up, and there he stood,
Hiding behind his dreadlocks,
His eyes, green as the rivers of the amazons,
Glowed, like the jewels from the heavens above,
His smile, melted away my heart,
I stared up at him in Awe,
He swept me up, and carried me away.
A new journey, A new book,
My savior,
My prince,
He rescued me from the pain of heart ache,
And carried me away to a land unknown.
The rivers are as pure as the tears that flow from my eyes,
The flowers stretch as far as the eye can see,
The stars glow like nothing I've ever seen before,
And Under the moon light, we kiss, and everything starts to make sense.
So amazing, I can barely describe,
I close my eyes, am I dreaming?
It's like ecstasy,
You're my high,
The adrenaline rush is astonishing.
Ich Liebe Du, Johnny.


3. By Sakura1607:
Life
Life is a pathway surrounded by trees

No matter how far we go
It always ends

It's never smooth
Always with bumps

Dark and foggy
The future is unclear

It has forked roads
For us to make choices

But make the wrong ones or stray from the path
We'll only end up lost

VII. Special Treat:


I thought Since I'm holding this contest I should post some of my work for you guys. Also you can give me feed back as to what your take is on it. Only two though, for now~

Not Enough.

Death Rides on a breath of warm air,
One word can mean so many things
Yet mean so little to someone
New beginings are left and lost in memories
Try so hard to remeber but they never stay perfect
Why does it matter though?
What do words and thoughts matter anyway?
Flowers bloom and then they wilty,
Life flows in the same patteren
Is it worthless to live or pointless to die?
Do we really have one chance at life,
Nothing after.
Why can that be such a disturbing concept to handle
Or how can it be so easily excepted?
To give up and not have hope,
But then again what is hope?
False thoughts of something that may never happen,
The unknown?
This confusion pursists as I try to unravel to much
Shall I leave it be or sit there, Confounded?
To much, too much...
Not enough, not enough...
I don't know if I should leave on these thoughts...
But it's all I can do
Besides torture myself with thinking to much...
To much, too much,
Not enough.



Nightmare

Darkness waits the dim night
Silence moving across the sky
Dripping down to cover the ground
Shadows follow his footsteps
As he stalks his prey like a black panther
On a midnights gray
Silently waiting in patience
Darkness takes the girl by her throat
Glaring into her soul
Pulls her closer into the shadows next to him
Sinking fangs, the breaking of skin
watching her blood drip till it turns black within
The morning sun takes her away,
The creature lets out a scream of agony
As the dawn approaches
Feeling skin burn he runs away
Leaving the girl lay helplessly
As she vanishes away




And there you go, hope you like and I look forward to hear more of all who enter!
