HopeClaustrophobic darkness
Minutes to hours and hours to days
Ever moving hands of fate
Caught in a twisted world
But there is a way...

Claustrophobic darkness..?
Twinkling of hope in the distance
A sole diamond in a cluster of coal
Climbing the ladder
To the way...

Overwhelming light?
No, spontaneous happiness?
An outstretched hand in the stormy sea of society
A whirlwind of emotions
You are the way...

My way, my hope...Hope by ~TheSprinklezKid

Under Rock and StoneThere's life inside her bones,
Somewhere buried deep,
Behind the rocks and stones,
Covering her sleep.

She can't open her eyes,
There's a weight on her chest,
Though every night she cries,
You know she tried her best.

When the rain comes falling,
She'll never run away,
Even when death comes calling,
By your side she'll stay.

Until the sun hides the moon,
And every heart is shorn,
The end won't be here soon,
So black she will adorn.

Let her tell you goodbye,
This is the last kiss,
She can't take the lies,
Your frown she can't miss.

So take her down deep,
To the marrow in her bone,
There's life inside her sUnder Rock and Stone by ~MeYouAndForever

my thoughts are way beyond

Truly, how I struggle on this empty path
filled of my own corruption,
smeared in my own jealousy
and founded by my very own cowardice

Way too distressed,
my soul is way too distressed
and corrupted

Truly, how deeply I urge for salvation
becoming only by your hands,
filled with sheer consideration
and founded only by your very true devotion

MotherWhat will you feel,
When others capture your kingdom?
What will you do,
When others devastate your freedom?

Will you kill the others,
When others try to kill you?
But what if your only danger is not the others' beast,
But your inner power unleashed?

We are the tree cutting it's own root,
We feed ourselves like widow feeds her brood.
There is no hope for our common Mother,
As children must love and be loved.

Sins we ever committed are zero,
Even the blind can see,that the sinner is hero.
There is no hope for our common Mother,
As Adam and Eve betray each other.

The womb is eaten from deep inside by worm,
We are the one which sMother by ~Magmaflow

[To Sandy Hook Victims] Goodbye, Young SoulsGoodbye, young souls
Who were taken so fast
You will be remembered
Your story will last.

We'll never forget
The horror that day
In small, sad coffins
Now do you lay.

Together we mourn
Wishing we could change
The fate that was brought
By someone so deranged.

You all were so brave
You all fought so hard
And on your perches so high
Us you will guard.[To Sandy Hook Victims] Goodbye, Young Souls by ~mmg1195

Trashed Christmas AngelTrashed Christmas Angel

the other boys and girls said their would be no Christmas this year
that we would have to flee to the streets and drained of all our cheer
the snow would fall and fall
but no one would be happy
while we are freezing in the cold other people will be laughing

i asked our guardians if that were true and this is what they said
"no one wants to fund us anymore, this orphanage is dead"
that very day we fled
into the snowy streets
while other people laughed and played I could feel my frozen feet

the other children left me as we all spread throughout the town
familes went inside their houses as the snow fel harder down

We Have News On Your DaughterIt's early December
We sit in our daughters room
Looking over her possessions
Praying she will be home soon

Just in time for Christmas
Her presents are under the tree
Ready to create some more
Of those beautiful memories

It's now mid December
Terror has frozen our tears
As our angels face is slowly
Beginning to disappear

Our lives are a landfill
For unimaginable pain
As her baby brother weeps
Wanting his sister back again

It's now late December
The festivities have past
As searches for our princess
Are slowly scaled back

A knock on the front door
The endless fall to the ground

The Accursed by ~NemoX7

Into WordsHave you ever tried to put lust into words?
To rise at dawn and weave a song with the birds'.
Have you ever tried to put perfection into verse?
Love is a blessing, and life is a curse.

Words will not suffice to unlock a heart's power
You're wasting your breath with each spoken hour.
But don't run for the shadows, don't tremble, don't cower.
Just let your chains fall, and lay siege to love's tower.Into Words by ~ZEL94

Dear Santa"Dear Santa"

All I really want for Christmas
As I peer down on homes from above
Is to let the ones I know
Especially the ones I love

That I want them to be happy
And grateful with their friends
Enjoy time with their families
And for enemies to make amends

I want to see everyone gather around tables
And let others know how much they are treasured
I want their messages to come from the heart
I want to see everyone pleasured

I want to see children open their gifts
As their parents and siblings smile and gaze
I want to see loved ones kissed
And let it snow for days and days

I want others to have what I never had

The JudgeLeave me
Here to stay.
Alone in my hut,
That's the only way.
It cannot be
The length's too far
Why don't you see?
The stains on my heart
Are you alone.
If that's my sin
Would you throw the stone.
Condemn me to death.The Judge by ~HeartenMeThroughSong

and I'll try to grasp the subtle way,
the leaves fall to the ground;
Such a grand display

Ask Me To Describe An Autumn's Day?
no, I think I'd rather simply say
the world in all its effortless splendor
has all the glory of the Fae.

about how just before the leaves fall away
the forests gleam all orange and gold;
Soon the world will all be grey

Ask me to describe an Autumn's day
and I'll try to show you the subtle way,
that all the world will change
but for now? It's just an Autumn's Day. Ask Me To Describe An Autumn's Day by ~Deus-Suetonius

The TastingMmmm...I taste you in this fine wine,
with hints of the same fine line
I must walk with care.

Be it hand in hand or glass in hand,
either way knowing where I stand
along this path.

My fingers graze your rounded lip,
thirsting for a quenching sip
of rich complexity.

All once so tightly sealed within,
gradually begins to open,
releasing beautifully.

Holding strong on delicate limbs,
balanced and full, despite our whims;
or because of them.

Each delectable, intricate flavor
is given pause to be savored
in a timeless moment.

So deliciously bold, ripe and earthy;
yet playfully coy, cloaked in subtlety
and seasoned intensity.

Lyrics

Summer RainYou were reaching out to me
I pulled you into my heart
Don't know exactly how it happened
But I knew from the start
Something's going on here
Something that sure feels nice

You take me out walking
Down a desert trail
Make believing there's an ocean
So we can set sail
Off into the sunset
Not caring if we return

Out underneath the moon
Gazing up at the stars
Not knowing where we're going
But knowing where we are
Right here, right now
Wrapped up in each other's arms

You shower me with kisses
Like sweet summer rain
Washing over me
Again and again
Raining down love
Pouring down all over us

But daylight soon breaks
Turning Summer Rain by ~tickersymbol

Snowflake.Crisp branches leading off from a first;
Opposite directions of the parallel:
Drifting, gathering, disappearing - together.
But you,
Not melting on impact,
Remained in my cold heart.Snowflake. by ~Texting

blindObliviousness is life
We drink our water and eat our bread
While it turns into ash and iron
We smile
I ware the remnants of yesterday's tragedies
Like weathered skin putrefying my existence
We laugh
We joke and play
While our eyes and mouths bleed our pain for your inevitability
We love
Love conquers all they say
The sword of your own misguided cure for sadness
Has ruined our shield
The shield made of your love
Life is oblivious
Oblivious to our painblind by ~cmckoy

MistakeTrust is such a delicate thing,
Like a new bud,
Bursting out of the snow,
Fragile and easily broken.

The winter's wind taunting it so,
The snow about it threatening to encase it within its icy grip,
Yet somehow,
The bud holds on.

Till the sun's warm rays vanish,
The warmth that gave the bud such shelter and strength,
Ripped away from it,
Leaving it with no hope.

The frozen fingers within the snow reach,
Surrounding the new born bud within its tomb,
And with one flick,
It could break within a million frozen pieces that cannot be mended.

I give you this image to depict how easily trust can be born,
And how it can be shattMistake by ~SilentSoulDeathSpoon

The Last PageThe last page of a book turned
The last page of a day or night
The last page of your life someday
But, oh, what to write?
Do you say goodbye to your sweet prince?
Do you bring him to life?
What if in fact the prince was you
And you knew not what to do?
Would you sleep, and perchance to dream?
Or would you write another page?The Last Page by ~DoctorNarpasLoveless

YAY Okay, so I have just finished setting up our new group, and I am really excited and a bit nervous!
It's fun.

I do not have a logo yet and hadn't honestly thought about it. Hahaha OnlyPoetry already had one when I joined on. But anyway,

#We-Poets is up and ready for you to migrate!
