The Mirage

Music flows through the air,
bass making my seat vibrate.
The right speaker rattles
from playing music
too loud once before.

Im tied down
in my own little world
plush and gray.

Dirt and grass on the floor
from someones shoes,
clothing strewn in the back.
A case filled with treasures

In the thick brambles
of the blackberry bush I searched
for the perfect berries to add to my basket

fingers stained with the rich purple juices
laughter stained with the new experience
scratching my arms and legs

in the late summer afternoon.
The old farmer's field was barren
and dry save the ancient and wise vines,

branching out over the canal

It is with
wonder that I looked
about the quiet field, watching
as the sun fades, streaking
the sky with shades of
amber. At a rustle
in the corn fields, my heart
stops, not daring
to breathe, as a doe
gazes about, searching for safe
passage through the clearing
It's tawny fur shines against
the rough background of
the dried cornstalks and dirt with

Winners - Summer 2006

Thank you to everyone who submitted their poetry and rated! It's always difficult to "grade" someone's work, as every poet has their own individual style, but all of the work this year was exceptional.

Please stop by again in February for the next round of the Poetry Slam:... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (SugarBunnie1123) http://kimberlysplace.yuku.com/topic/1111 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 19:51:37 GMT http://kimberlysplace.yuku.com/topic/1117/t/something-about-you-makes-me-cringe-.html when you tell me you dont care
I know you
the way you are
what you show outside
isnt what you feel inside
but i cant keep you here with me
when you dont want to be
theres just something about you that makes me ill
makes me cringe
and makes me squeal
theres something about you
that leaves me here
to remember the past
of what we had
the memories of you, even when im mad
since your gone I feel alone

[[This was written at chruch camp, and all of it is true]]



With my head hung low.

Tears streaming down my face.

I look up to the sky

And see the stars as they smile back at me.

I give my heart to you at that very moment.

Feeling as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Knowing that my life is in your hands and I know that you will guide me in whatever I may do.

Saw you in the window
Bartered with all my might

Knew I had to have you
I have the room to pack
You up so tight, I will,
Ill never bring you back

Put you in my shoebox
And take you home with me,
Wrap you in soft towels
On my shelf you will be.

Put you in my shoebox,
With all the photographs
Faces long since faded,
Last New Years party laughs.

Put you in my shoebox

The first thing I will do
Is tell you how I love you;
Even before the morning coffee.

If I ever wake from this nightmare,
If I wake to find that you are still there...
The next thing I will say
Is please don't ever go away;
Even before the morning coffee.

If I wake to find love that we still share,

Take your scissors and cut me, cut me crazy,
Just destroy me, dont contact my next of kin.

You convinced yourself we were not meant to be -
Never mind our souls answered to the same name.
Take your scissors and cut me, cut me crazy;
Have you done enough to make me feel the shame?

How many times will you say you hate me,
When are you going to actually mean it?
You damn me,
And degrade me,
Toss me aside like a rag doll,
Yet run back when you get hurt,
You say that you hate me,
Yet you can never stick to it,
You believe others before me,
Though you've known me longer,
But here's a secret I've kept for three years,
You never knew,
But you might has well know now,
I love you,
But you hate me,

My bodies limp,

Has if sleeping,

But my minds awake,

My eyes are open,

I'm awake,

Because I hear her crying,

Crying in her sleep,

From the pain,

From the abuse,

From everything,

Her beds covered in blood,

Her wrists cut open deep again,

I see all this,

For I hover above her,

Looking down at her,

Trying to comfort her,

But I can't,

Gods precious angel falls,

My wings broken,

My wrists cut,

Heavens gates closed to me,

They wont open and let me in,

I'm the one they call Suicide Angel,

Heaven wont let me in,

Hell is trying to get me,

But I survived,

And I live amongest the mortals,

Gods little Suicide Angel,

Wings broken,

Wrists cut,

Heavens gates are closed and wont open for me,

I'm always two steps behind,
when I think I'm ahead.
And I'm always too late,
when I thought I was early.
I guess I'm just not fast enough.

I run faster and faster to catch up,
push myself forward in a desperate attempt,
to salvage anything that existed between us.
But there are so many hurdles and hazards,
pitfalls placed to stop my progress.

Gentle caresses along your neck
while you lay across my lap
your voice moves with my fingers
filling the silence with music

My hands are still hesitant though
sometimes I make you stutter
I cannot make you sing like others yet
but we get better each time we're together

You fill some of the holes within me
the only other love in my heart
and I'll be with you until I die

I feel your hands upon my shoulders
the light touch of fingers upon my cheek
Yet I turn around to find no one,
only old feelings and an emptiness within

Even as I lay to sleep I feel you in my arms again
held close in tight embrace, loving and secure
but in truth I'm only hugging myself
this bed is so much bigger then before

A chair sits apart from the others
