The Treaty
-------------------------------------The Treaty-----------------------------------

"There is another option." 
Lord Phillip, Privy Councillor and Chief Advisor to the King of Leira shifted his feet uncomfortably as he found himself affixed by a piercing blue stare.

"Pray, do enlighten me." 
Julius let the  man sweat for a moment, before flopping gracefully into a chair, and turning his gaze to the stained glass window. It lit his skin blue and green, flattering the classic profile that was the heartache of many a Lady at court.

Phillip released his breath as the weight of the King's attention weakened.

First LoveWhen the Sun has faded
And stars no longer shine
Memories shall linger
And pay no heed to time
Your smile left me breathless
Your face, I see it still
That 'accidental' touch
That gave me such a thrill
Those sleepless, lonely nights
That ushered loves first tears
The beating of my heart
Whenever you appeared
Innocence surrendered
Into your tender arms
First love lasts forever
We hold it like a charm
I will not forget you
You taught me, oh so much
Still my sweet beloved
I hunger for your touch...First Love by *Gary-thedreamingpoet

Red Rain...Within this empty world
The sky is never blue
Sunlight long forgotten
Just grey of every hue
Within this empty world
I walk and never rest
The burden that I bear
Just heaven's cruel jest
None can walk beside me
That road is cursed with pain
Perhaps it's all my doing?
I cause the cold red rain?
I don't ask for pity
Nor wallow in my tears
My fate I will embrace
Throughout the lonely years
Mistakes? Made so many
Afraid to face the truth
I never was 'just me'
And so I wasted youth
Fear it always chained me
I moved to worldly dance
So terrified and weak
I could not take a chance
I really was so stupid
I built my world on sand
Just trying to fit in
I never made my stand
I guess I broke some hearts
I know that I broke mine
Tears that keep on falling
And look like blood red wine
'If', the word that haunts me
The mirror in my soul
Right reason's, wrong choices
All leading to 'own goals'
Saw my inner beauty
As demon's in disguise
Fighting always fighting
Of course I lost the prize

Midnight DanceYour fingers slide in between mine,
Our hands perfectly entwined.
Your arm wraps tenderly around my waist,
As you whirl me around and we trace
imaginary patterns on the floor.
Everything about you I adore,
as my head lies gently on your shoulder,
And we dance a dance that is older
Than time itself.

Your scent engulfs my mind,
And brings with it memories so refined,
Filled with pure emotion,
To you I promise complete devotion.
My senses are drowned out,
So that there is no room for any doubt,
Past worries and fears I twirled
As I fell into another world.

Hope and love fill my heart
As we perfect this dying art.

Ah how time has flown by! Anyway, I thought I would take this clearly momentous opportunity to make a little side track thing, I know very few competitions... scratch that, any competitions have worked on here!! >.< but I thought if anyone would fancy making a short story or poem for the occasion, the best one will gain pride of place on the page for ONE WHOLE MONTH!!

Yes, ONE MONTH.

However there are limitations to it!! --> It can only be 500 words long MAX.

Deal?

Our Island of Trees, Part 1
"I never wanted any of this to happen."

-

Two school boys sat on their secondary school playing fields, enjoying the warm, if not rare, British summer. Both around fifteen years old, they have known each other longer than either of them cared to remember, neither one had really changed all that much since they'd met all those years ago in primary school, both remained immature, unsure and relatively uncaring of the future and most of all concerned only with their own enjoyment. The first, Aaron, was the smarter of the two, although brilliant, he rarely used it, only in times that he could get a laugh from his student audience would he be boOur Island of Trees, Part 1 by ~maxaxe
Poetry Commissions Open, December 2012Greetings and Salutations, Everyone!
Taking a page from my youngest daughter, who is also a member on this rather interesting site, I have also decided to start offering literary commissions, in my case: Poetry.
I have been writing in general for a good many years, and even longer where my poetry is concerned, having published a book of original French poetry just a few years ago (and I will post the cover to and Amazon.com link within my gallery a bit later, for anyone interested within purchasing it - Those who can read/understand French, that is :) ).
A few, more recent examples are already within my gallery, and I will place here, as well.
There is honestly no form I do not or cannot do, except perhaps Limericks, I suppose. :p
My information is as follows:

I FellI fell down into a hole of despair,
and felt a pain that no one can bear.
Lost in the dark and stuck without a way,
I feel less pain the longer I stay.
My feelings and emotions are slowly numbing,
my hopes and my dreams are already crumbling.
I fell down and now I can't get back up,
now all I can see is a half empty cup.
Lost my strength and lost my will,
all I can do now is just stay still.
I look up to see the bright eyes,
staring at me while my soul slowly dies.
One step and another yet I still can't see the light,
another step, and I fall back into the night.

The Reaper's LootOf war, of war this day I write,
Of battle and blood that is shed in the night,
Of cries and screams of blood and pain,
I wish this night to become day's light.

The pain, the pain of the killing pursuit,
The scars etched upon berserker brutes,
The hate and fear of fire and lead,
I see the fruit of the reaper's loot.

Oh fire, oh fire and destruction's start,
Oh copper and lead seeking the foes' hearts,
Oh flesh and bone you sought to rend,
And as their souls depart,

Dark Romance
-Twisted-How dare I  
My affections have rendered me powerless
Haven’t my dreams always been this way?
Nights of loving agony
Soft lips, sharp fangs
Nothing could be so twisted
Than the fantasies I’ve woven into rope

How dare you
Adorning yourself in my nightmares
Becoming radiant and powerful
Didn’t I dream you were this way?
Soft voice, sharp words
Nothing could be so twisted
Than the fantasies knotted around my wrists-Twisted- by *PsychoNeko08
The Dark Reflection of Momentary RealismAs darkness bled across the frozen field,
I was shrouded in a blanket
Of silver mist and black night,
And my surroundings gently became clearer;
I was all alone, by a field edge,
The heavy weight of Time crushing around me,
And my teenage mind was ushered from its
Narrow path of hormonal wonderings.
And then I realised, me – there,
Darkness and time, and me,
Entwined forever, until I die,
Until my body becomes earth,
And my words are carried by the mist,
Across dark cold nights,
And on into forever.

The Vampires BalladNight unfurls her silken wings
She paints the skies with lace
And in her blue, bright stars sing
While moonbeams light her face
Hands with magic dust the land
Her jewels we call 'frost'
Numerous as the desert sands
With morning they are lost
Wise owls sing her praises
While wolves they offer hymns
The busy world, it hushes
As if it knows its sin
Listen to her children
Sweet choir of the night
Hear their music beckon
And share my rapt delight
This the world that calls me
"Come rise up from the grave"
This the wonder my eyes see
So full of what I crave
Life and love and splendor
For these I have a thirst
Though some look with horror
Of men I'm not the worst
Immortal and accursed 
Still I dare to love
Though in grief immersed
And hated up above
Still my heart remembers
And yes, I see your face
Memories still linger
This heavens only grace
Crimson floods give succor
But only for a while
For more than blood I hunger
Still pining for your smile
Centuries they come and go

These HistoriesThe words elude me, of how
I feel when the mist creeps
Round the trees and ploughed fields;
In Autumn time, with silvery nights,
And billowing breath that lingers.

When History is like a trailing
Sheet pulled over headstones
In a frozen midnight churchyard,
And I am a bird in a tree,
Watching without full understanding.

And the naked beauty of romance,
As the leaves, half frozen,
Decay in the daylight, but the
Veins remain to taunt the moonshine,
In the never ending tale of our lives.

And hark!  How the Rooks cry across
This place, in echoing displays of
Depth and meaning, and still we
Misunderstand, taking it allThese Histories by ~Paul-1485

The Fragility of Life
A little girl was born on a beautiful summer day,
by the time that she was two she'd learned to talk and play.
The next thing mommy knew she was now a child of ten,
playing with her Barbie dolls and sometimes with her Ken.

Then came sweet sixteen, with a car and a boyfriend too,
to her the world was kind and good with each day born anew.
On her graduation day her mom and pop were there,
the thought of sending her to Yale was more than they could bear.

Top of the class was she, now her future's on it's way,
but a baby came that year, she gave the child away.
When she'd finally made the grade her parents were so proud,

What He Noticed
He noticed that her hair was as blonde as the sun,
perfectly brushed, hanging loosely about her shoulders.

He noticed that her lips were as red as crimson,
curled slightly up, in an everlasting smile.

He noticed that her wedding ring glistened in the light,
a band of gold, a reminder of good times past.

He noticed that her eyes were closed as if asleep,
those beautiful blues, the windows to her soul.

But what he noticed most of all was a heart no longer beating,
a chest no longer rising and falling with breath.

"This deafening silence; O to hear her laugh once again!"

Sadness is...

the sleepless nights

the loss of my home

the tears of a child
the war in my town
the hatred of some

the rich with too much

It was a crisp autumn morning as Winky and the rest reached their new home for the first time.  The pond was full of lily pads and fish but really wasn't that different from the orphanage pond.  Maybe smaller.  But no matter, this was home!  The smell of decaying leaves was intoxicating to him.  As he looked around there were beautifully colored trees surrounding the pond with glimmers of sunlight shining through.  One word came to his mind - Paradise!

But as with all things new the newness eventually wears off and the realities of life in his new home and with his new family soon became evident.  In truth, he was now living with a group of The good, the bad, and the hawk by ~tommyboywood

On Bended Knee
On bended knee he knelt, and asked her for her hand.
She shed a little tear, together they would stand.
They'd build a life as one, he'd love her through the years.
She'd gladly bear his son, he'd help her with her fears.

The years went by so fast, gray hairs and weathered skin.
Yet still their love held fast, they stayed through thick and thin.
Children came and children went, now grand-babes on the way.
They couldn't wait to hold them, nor could they wait to play.

Then one cold winter night, he caught a fevered chill.
She doctored him with love, he took her little pills.
His fever never left, the days grew cold and hard.

Lonely nightAs I lay in bed holding your bear,
I am crying with a blank stare.
Holding it close and smelling you,
Seems I have nothing else to do.
I remember holding you close,
And kissing your cute nose.

Sleeping in perfect bliss together.
I'm shedding tears cause I miss it.
Because you and I, we just fit.

Inner Light
A life of teardrops and sadness was his,
of loss, abandonment, and pain.
He wondered if this life was all there is,
so he'd search, again and again.
To find the light that would brighten his soul,
a light that would cheer up his days.
He decided one day and made it his goal,
that wherever the answer might lay...

He would gladly accept it and welcome it's glow,
and bask in the warmth of its glorious rays.

Then one day while dreaming SHE came along,
and told him he wasn't alone.
Her smile was kind, her voice like a song,
he wondered if she was the one.
To begin the change from darkness to light,
and forever give to him hope.

Jackie!
You came from way down south, dodged the global flu.
Your family was strong, it's love was tried and true.
You played against the odds, performed a major coup.
Eventually became, number forty-two.

You saw the world in gray, colors morphed as one.
No game you couldn't play, sport to you was fun.
They loved you there back home, urged you to move on.
Courage moved you forward, faith under the sun.

Doubters and haters fumed, a Negro out of place.
You shut the mouths of these, embraced the human race.
Lovers then consoled you, helped you through those days.
They had to face the truth; no one like him plays!

#401#401 was the next house;
the one with gardenias,
parrot trees and rohiras,
and the music of the thudding,
every night at one; softly,
subserviently, without cease.
I never did tell my parents
of that monotone midnight opera;
the slight shrieks, the damnation
and the words that lost themselves
in plaster spoke an exotic tongue
in tiny trebles and tinctures
in the theatre of my mind.

Fifteen years on, at Papa Rooz;
the frothing pitchers sweating beer,
unshelled peanuts, salted crackers;
a long dead revival of OMD,
and a round of Chinese whisper
revealed love was an analgesic
that knew nothing of daddy's belt
or mama's crims#401 by ~Zark123

cats and dogs and lizard things
raining all around
grandma flying toward the moon
won't stay on the ground

truthful lies and purple eyes
chaos at the door
people crying, pigs with wings
search for evermore

comets crashing people flee
rivers turn blood red

everyone is dead

reality a blur
