The poems:
Team 1 (Sunfire and ZulNaar) Topic: Abandonment. Quote: "Sometimes a person needs us to abandon them, but we hang-on anyway, which can be devastating for both parties.” ― Bryant McGill
Loneliness is a state of mind
it brings us to the darkest places
But also makes us kind
when seeing friendly faces
We are their poison, yet they say nothing
a pain, not physical, but burns inside
It poisons everyone, but none says anything
it fills us with a feeling of loss from which we cannot hide
We only sigh, stabbing our heart with another rusty needle
whether we stay behind or depart
Our souls are getting feeble
our only hope, every end is a new start
Team 2 (Dark Demon and Lintara) Topic: Childhood. Quote: “Everything is ceremony in the wild garden of childhood.” - Pablo Neruda
Covered in the morning rays of sun
Jump, roll, play, run!
On the grass before the heat of day
No burdens, no rules to obey
One afternoon a dozen fields of different color
Oh, how beautiful they look together!
Then dusk slinks in and colors change
And the innocent mind thinks, "Oh, how strange!"
Night steps out and calls them home
Sealing another chapter from their tome
Another morning flips a new page
Until you pass that wonderful age.
Team 3 (Assira the Black and Aeoshattr) Topic: Fear. Quote: “A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
Turning in the mist, your eyes play tricks
The wind rustles, a crow mourns and your heart leaps
Delving deep within the darkness your emotions do mix
Wrung like a spring, you hear spiders sing with sticks
A chill raises from the base of your spine
You dare not turn your head, but take more steps – nine
Your throat holds your breath trapped
You try to scream, but your lips are chapped
If only death would come quickly instead of being held captive
One last step, one last glance as the shade remains ilusive
Its building, its closer, there is no space.
Around you turn, to see a bloodied, grinning face.
Team 4 (Rikstar and The Rich Merchant) Topic: Friendship. Quote: “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” - Helen Keller
As I set my step, so did he.
i”ve never known him to be
I drowned him, so that I could see.
i lost him, so i then lost ”me”
He set a step, so did I.
he asked for truth, he needed lies.
The lies for which he asked me why.
to which i have just one reply:
Would you rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light?
the mirror nodded and dissapeared from sight
Team 5 (Sir Blut and John Constantine) Topic: Living. Quote: “Don’t die before you’re dead.” - Rachel Wolchin
Laid desolately in my last hour, on my last day
the things that could happen, weaved nests in my brain.
All of the champagne, I told myself the rest to blame
but Truth like a lightning bolt - has struck my veins.
This is not the deepest that I have bled
I looked in the mirror to see the flesh.
An old fart looked back at me, I can't wait to rest
rejection was futile, my grave have to wait.
I would like to thank and congratulate all participants!
Also, many thanks to the judges and the helpers! ^^
May the verse be with you! :D
