Wish For Another DayThe first ingredientWish For Another Day by *TheFinalHikari
Being together with you
The second component
Another day together
The third element
Every moment of memory
There's nothing more important
Everything else can stay distant
I only want a holiday with you
Nothing else will do
A perfect recipe
Containing you and me
Naught could make a holiday better
Than another day together
Days may be numbered
But memories cannot be altered
So as long as we are gathered
These simple wishes will be answered
Ophelia DreamsOphelia Dreams by ~AryaMay
Thus we came to rebehold the stars
And the other globes of the celestial skies,
Lady Luna with her blunted horns renewed-
The darkness haunting us left somewhere behind.
Or maybe not quite, so the Heavens do taunt-
While the Sisters Fate laugh as the devils cry;
And the mechanics of the world turn counter clockwise,
They pushed on by the mortals who plot God's demise…
But you, my dear Ophelia, what do you see?
Do you envision your ghosts with those sightless eyes?
Or do you see anger, bitter desperation, hate?
The river as my arms that you refused to take?
My faithless lover, to the world a queen
A queen that it lost, like t
The Melody of Christmas~The Melody of Christmas~The Melody of Christmas by ~ScarletDevil1503
Snowflakes drift like notes of a song...
Softly, gently, moving along.
Coming each with a wish of good cheer...
Hope for the dawning new-year.
The wind ebbs and the flurries die,
But too soon another stirs up the sky.
Beyond the frosty trees and homes,
A threesome of jolly carolers roam.
I silently gaze at the wonder around,
Knowing that no greater is found.
It comforts the cold and tickles the air,
Snow – gentle snow everywhere.
Then, as these soft moments do fold;
This heartwarming melody sings in the cold.
And, for the fear of it passing away,
Merry Christmas to all; have joy on this day!
FunhouseThere are muffledFunhouse by ~misplaced-words
noises, and you hide your
eyes in your hands.
There was a tattered and
worn copy of Hamlet
in your bag. I can remember
watching you skim for just
the right
phrase.
The house speaks
in a soft tongue.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
The smell of flesh,
rotting,
echoes through these halls.
My arms sink in
my skin.
I will walk out of the air,
into my grave.
The house creaks,
and it is speaking again.
The doors are shut,
and they giggle when
our backs our turned.
Go, bid the soldiers shoot.
The house tells us
we are not to be,
and our steps
will earn
teeth digging at our
flesh.
Mental Roadtripmy thoughts are on the roadMental Roadtrip by *BensHammonds
miles and miles away
in the moon beams bouncing
and the clouds flying
stars fading to black
my thoughts are on the road
early morning sun in my eyes
roadside café with strong coffee
pretty waitress finishing her shift
so young to be so tired
my thoughts are on the road
trees going by beside of me
yellow lines broken in time
white line never ending
midday sun overhead
my thoughts are on the road
with evening coming on
sunset so beautiful behind me
young waitress still in my head
smile upon my haggard face
my thoughts are on the road
stars shining in a lunar sky
lightning flashes on the horizon
sound of my engine
Death Takes Two SugarsDeath knocked on the doorDeath Takes Two Sugars by =Oilux
came inside without invitation
poured herself some tea
and asked for a story.
He laughed at all the right parts,
cried when I cried,
asked for more than she received
silently demanding.
It cried with me and laughed with me
sipping their tea and listening
she wondered what I didn’t do
then told me how idiotic I was.
He told me about the children
I could have had but didn’t
and the falls that lifted me up
with the loss of others.
The story of how I almost killed a girl
when she ran into the street
scared her to run into the arms of her father
and never ran into the street again.
The tale of the man who
Little FragmentsWould you like to know, how fragments feelLittle Fragments by *Ellen-Souler
It's hard to tell really, when so many different emotions,
are reflecting back at you
You wont find them in the air, sea, nor in me
you will find them on the ground
They belong there, in soil
where grass will grow, and men builds over
No archaeologist will assemble me correctly
No artist can capture my style
No amount of adhesive will hold these as one piece
I live only to breath into struggling lungs
and maybe if those would be in my blood, bone and soul
They too could understand.
Maybe, if each finds a piece of me and comes together
there will be too much to break, to hard to crack that ic
A STRANGE JOURNEYA STRANGE JOURNEYA STRANGE JOURNEY by ~DraganTheMighty
Arrived at less than zero,
Fate was written,
'am no hero,
I couldn't save you,
'couldn't love
Truth was hidden,
Pain above,
I should 've tried this dream before!
Tried to catch you at the end,
Blood and flesh, a weird blend,
A strange journey in Light,
A chance to stop this crazy fight,
I 'll return, I'll live again!
\/\/\/
Arrived at just at zero,
Your will bitter,
'am no hero,
I could save you,
I could hold,
Love was hidden,
Pain above,
You should 've tried me before!
You insisted till the end,
Time and place, a weird blend,
A strange journey behind,
A chance to search me and to find,
I 'll return

Utopia For You.Hither around mortals, gather near...Utopia For You. by ~noxiousmyth
A secret since ages you're about to hear!
Have you ever wondered when your thoughts are astray,
The technique to create a paradisiac day?
Find yourself a spot of pure solace,
Take a vessel sized to match your reveries,
Throw in all your blood and sweat to boil,
You'd feel the lava roar from beneath the soil!
Is it a spoonful of gold that'll multiply for you to claim?
Or enough sugar to make Aphrodite appear herself to satisfy your thirst?
Stir the liquid inside twice if you want the world to celebrate your fame!
Add a scoop of cold ice to put an end to your unending curse.
Add a few prayers to
A Recipe of the GodsA Recipe of the GodsA Recipe of the Gods by *3xDefined
For those of you Gods who wish to create,
Two warm blooded humans of incredible taste,
First grab a pan, a spoon, and two bowls,
Lay out your bodies and prepare for the souls.
To start the motivation is what I suggest,
To be sure your human does his best,
1pinch of ambition, desire for acclaim,
1/2 cup of inclination toward fame.
And then 1 good pint of what not to do,
That moral alert so they are conscious of you,
A bit of compassion, for amount go by taste,
And hint of sympathy but be sure not to waste.
Next add 1/3 cup of sugary nice,
1 ground root of temper to add some spice,
Now the next part is according to you
