[center]Time Is Never Enough

Let warmth of day hold you -
Coldness of night never touch you.
What we shared shall last.

In the end we'll meet again.

Cold spot by your side;
No hand to hold, no face to see.
You never wander alone.

In the end time is never enough;
Look back and remember the life.

Until we meet again -
Time is never enough.

Tears are water for the growing plant,
Let them come, you need them tonight.
Lonely years ahead, memories alight.

Until we meet again
In the end
Time is never enough.

I draw a pretty picture
I draw it with a twist
I draw it with a razorblade
I draw it on my wrist

Actually, I just saw this on a building while I was hiknig then decided to be emo for the rest of the day.

Death Magic

We've eoven hearts, a thorn anbar
Left tears streaked reasons, upon the share
A benefit copass, stan, or more
Sent out for this world to end.

Few were the praw, whos't slave below
Painting coal with a perfect gold
But for all it's worth, be ended slow,
Dead, in the bincle's again.

From Cabin Fever, swallow me over the mountain
Praised to Phallais seas, that this,
A home, to clowns dicease
A storm rolls on the way
Blacker than the Ace of Rayses
Dealt out by death in darkwood glades
Or ship of feels all boards handmade
Sinks dashed by Seismic Waves

The time has come
For me to sink slow
in the sea of decay...



----

I've posted it before, but I got no C&C. I hope you get the meaning and notice that it is about time.

Time...is what we call
Something we don't...
Understand...it passes
And leaves...it goes...
To waste...and is used
Quite...frequently...But
Really, what is time...?
Something we don't...
Quite understand...Time
Nothing more than a waste

"Time"


Theres a time to die,
A time to wake,
A time to bake cookies,
or jump into a lake.

This poem sucks,
but as time goes by,
the lil people,
will laugh and cry.

I want those minerals,
as i wait my turn,
for time and luck,
to turn my way.

Time is now,
past and present,
but this poem sucks,
and im a peasent.


LOL! Made that up in like 2 seconds. Caught woreds of tv and wrote em, Hope I win...



I vote for.. RedNara, nice bullet poem smile.gif

What Time Is


Time is forever
Time will never end
Time can be our enemy
Or it can be our friend

Time can be short
Time can be long
Time can be ugly
Or beautiful, like a song

Time is there
Time is here
Time can seem scary
But it's nothing to be feared

Time makes us worried
Time makes us sad
Time can make us cheerful
And very, very glad

Time is forever
Time will never end
Time is magical
Time is a godsend


My vote goes to DarkBlood.

I vote Mr.Camo lol

The truth is it was a matter of time
Before i got done with this simply rhyme
Not near nor far was the bell heard
That tolled on the hour

It was a simple sign to bring us in
Lure us in and kill us all
Its timple tick-tock locked us in
Transfixed, all eyes on the clock

Its the value we put in time
That is so wasted and thought less
We need to redefine
Just how we look at time

I dont fint it easy
To explain all of this
Its so simple really
But with a shocking twist

As much as i hate it
It will continue to grow
Its like trying to stop
The winters white snow

There is no hope for mankind
If we put so much hope, love
And value into time
Because then and again
Time after time
We will be the victims
Time after time

[center]No Time Left

When Flames of joy fill my heart
The Warter of darkness pulls it apart
A new day comes and my lifeless life begins.
I lost my bestfriend to a strong eastwind.
The last time with my friend has pulled me apart


By : Cloud[/center]


I decided to write this after I learned that my friends mad at me and want to kill me for some reason. It's all true if you read between the lines.

[center]Bullet Don't Stop

Bam!
Pierces the air
With not a stop
Not even a glance
Or a second chance.

Flies on straight
With a flow of rhythm
Never to come back
It’s an one way road.

We beg for mercy
We beg for chance
Just one more time
Come back to me.

With our naked eyes
It cannot be seen
Only our minds know
That time never returns.[/center]






Nice poems guys, you guys can just start voting actually whenever you want... Just post it on the bottom of your poem.

Sorry rednara I forgot about the contest XD

if im not too late heres something I whipped together

[CENTER]Little time
I have little time
To spend on the rhyme

Because I forgot about the date
I got no longer to wait

So I wrote it today
And I wanted to say

How it made me feel inside
Its a neverending pride

Id give some time if I got some time back
To write a better poem with the elements this one lacks[/CENTER]

Dude insane write it again, thats like a "WTF" poem... You just wrote about how you were late, I can still give you 2nd if you really want to write it good... That sounds like crap and hurts my ears, why cant you atleast write like your other ones... No seriously that sounds like a excuse than a poem...

A neverending pause
Or ever flowing clause?
Does it ever end?
Or is it just pretend?

What is this feature of physics we call time
That we must track and view sublime?
Is it like the grains of sand
Slipping away in our hand?

Does it control you and me
And the things in which we see?
Are you who you really are
When Time goes a bit more far?

Does it trace my then and now,
Am I really older now?


I know it's past the deadline, but I thought it was an interesting topic and I havn't written or been active here for a while.. thought I'd put something in. Good job with the activity, making more ppl active.

I give Mr.Camo 3, fm47 2, and Dante50 1.

Mr.Camo 4 votes, 100 mineral
Darkblood 2 votes, 25 mineral
Dante50 2 votes, 25 mineral
fm47 2 votes. 25 mineral

Meh, this competition was ok, but it felt a little chaotic I mean you guys know what I mean right? I hope you guys can participate again.

Darkblood, Dante50, and fm47 all tied for 2nd. And why does my vote count so much? Becuase some people said it is unfair, yes I can suddenly make someone win as long as 3 people dont vote for 1 guy.

To be honest with you, thats bullcrap. You shouldnt have more power than anyone else, why would someone even want to enter if they know that your just going to give 3 votes (which is a lot seeing how inactive this forum is) to someone that you think did great, but no one else. Just my opinion.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by fm47 on 2006-07-17 at 00:32:08
Ugh... I entered for fun... my entry was invalid due to lateness... Not the best job done, but still you at least did something to get more ppl to participate. You could always do it again some time, and learn from it this time. How do I send the minerals back?

This time do you think my judgement was wrong. Mr. Camo wrote the best poem, his might be to hard for some of you to understand, but he wrote the best poem, and i usally go by peoples vote... and the person with the highest vote from other people was darkblood but one of them pretty much didnt count, he didnt even enter.

And in the end Dante got 1, Camo got 1, I got 1 and darkblood got 1. And for me after reading all thoes poem, camo did the best job. And dante, darkblood and fm47 did almost the same level.

fm keep the mins, just come faster next time. just keep it becuase were going to constantly do this.
