Ok guys, I'm putting up my own competition here and this is somewhat unique. I'm providing the mood of the poem and you guys will work under that influence. I am not biased about style, diction, or use of "offensive" language. Whatever takes you to produce the piece. As the title says, this is about the "deepest darkness" whatever that may mean to you. What is this evil, darkness, misery inside you? Think about yourself and what you see and express it. It is a way to truly analyze yourself and what you do or what you see others do. The prizes are: 1st-5k 2nd-3k 3rd-1k There is no cost to enter. The time to enter starts now and ends in 1 week. At the end of the week, voting will begin and end in 1 week. These time limits may be extended due to lack of participation. The voting will be done via poll and all may vote obviously. Lastly, I will NOT be entering no matter what...my godliness prevents my allowance in my own contest. Good luck everyone! ~Kharne Bloodhowler, Vice-Captain

Swan Song
sorrow spins out fine silk.
black as despair,
beautiful as vanity.
tears fall from her eyes,
her last thoughts dark as always.
like black pearls they grace her.
her beautiful pale skin,
a fragment of the memory.
lust brought the dagger to her throat.
brilliance aimed the stroke.
depression finished the job.
her beautiful dress,
once white with elegance and beauty,
now tainted with her own misfortune.
her own hate.
her own blood.
the moonlight serves her an injustice.
the rose an insult.
her love a mockery.
the kiss of death before the deafening silence,
a mere whisper.
what if? it said.
why not? it pleaded.
and she fell.
fell into her souls demand.
it's swan song.
her reflection now stirred by chaos.
havoc catches her as she falls into the abyss.
she stops as her one hope strives to catch her.
he gets a hold.
he gets her future,
a water drop on his hand,
but her soul pulls.
yanks.
kicks.
fights to its death.
If I go down you go with me.
I won't die alone. it prays.
then a flash.
a light in the dark.
and he gets a hold.
then the light went out.
and he falls with her.
hand in hand.
heart to heart.
lips to lips.
the final symbol of her soul's wrath.

Confession
I have found myself afflicted,
Torn by the talons of my mistakes;
The once warming light is fleeting,
Darkness freezing over in its place.
I have not ceased to displease you,
Steadily flooding your garden of joy;
My heart swims in tears of your anger and hurt,
Forever stained with shame and agony.
Forgive me, lover, for I have sinned,
Holding the burden of a blackened soul;
Shine your light with your beautiful smile,
Right my wrongs and make me whole.
I have taken your love for granted,
Thought I’d drink of its sweetness as I pleased,
Never doubting its endless renewal;
My spirit wailed when I saw that I was wrong.
Forgive me, lover, for I have sinned,
Sinking further with each foul deed;
Spread your warmth with a kind embrace,
Wash clean my soul, forgiven and freed.
I have pushed myself into a paradox,
Loathing myself with such intensity
As to re-ignite the fires of hell,
Whilst pleading for your love to drench me.
Forgive me, lover, for I have sinned,
Kneeling here, as unworthy as can be,
Heart and soul bleeding sorrow and remorse;
Absolve my sins so that I may forgive myself.

Posted in behalf of SirynECrow, aka Sai. She could not get on to enter herself.
Untitled
Down the rabbit
Hole go I;
Yet, no light in
The distance spied.
Falling into depths
Of the mind;
Losing sanity,
Leaving reality behind.
Calling out with
Sightless voice.
Going down
You’ve made your choice;
There is no end
To be found here.
All is lost
Those old and dear.
Denied are you-
Your rightful tears;
Locked in this place,
For countless years.
Shown the paths
Now choose your ending;
Your heart implodes,
Too many elements contending.

As with her entry, Sai cannot get on Gaia to vote. I have sent her the entries via email [because she has access to that] and she has told me where her vote lies.
Add one vote to the poll for _Rayne_Ranee_'s Swan Song, please.

Seeing as how I cannot really change the counters for the votes, I will make the adjustment here.
Thus far we have:
Rayne Ranee=4
Isis375=1
Sai=0
I have only done this for fairness of voting. Everyone should have a chance to vote afterall.

snif snif... forgot to post mine.. thought it was for today for some reason(probably because i have 2 projects due today) well it's not perfected but i decided to put it for fun, even though i know the contest is underway...
Reality’s Hell
Every night I lay here, still as the dead,
Something searching for who I was,
Running away from the fear that dwells,
Looking through the hell living in me.
From this hell emerge feelings,
Ones that never should exist,
Things that I wish were not true,
Thoughts that are part of my reality.
As my reality evolves inside,
I discover a sense of death,
Furthermore, the sense of killing,
That defines my every motion.
With those motions, my body reacts,
Giving me no control over it,
My hands exerting their free will,
Basking themselves in my blood.
Every night I lay here, still as the dead,
With nothing searching for me but darkness,
Eyes lost in the edge of nothingness,
Reality having existed in my head…
