Time for you to place your votes! Below are the poems entered by the deadline. Please post your vote in either this thread, or in a PM (http://forums.ichigos.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=2340) to me with [MPC] in the subject box (nothing more, nothing less. It'll help with the bookwork).

VOTEING WILL BE CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 28 @ 20:00 EST. THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON MARCH 1ST @ 8:30-10:30 (hopefully).


Format for Voting; Copy it into the Quick Reply box with the fields filled in

Blue Ribbon: title of poem, author
Red Ribbon: title of poem, author
Green Ribbon: -title of poem-, author

NOTE: You cannot vote for your own poetry, but voting for others is allowed.

In case of a tie, there will be a showdown of 2 poems from each poet on a random topic, chosen by the entrants. It will be due 10 days after the tie was announced. We will then vote for the POET not the POEM to determine the winner.

In order of Submission and grouped by Artists:

The Forbidden Thirst
BY: M


Oh! Shall it be?

The truth shall ever hide in the face of future,
The dream yet to taste the fruit of youth.
The action repeats itself,
The waltz triples the fate.
The romance forbade, and
The lust shall be quenched.

An undying desire surges,
Feelings of remorse and greaf
Oceans the space;
A void that dreams full.
A cup of pure rapture.

Shall I take of the challase?
Do I step forward? Or
Do I cast my eyes down; standing
Still in a fractial of space.

The heart bursts. The frozen time
Fades in the night as the glimmer
Residue remains.


The Forbiden thirst calls,
And my body begs to answer.

Weathering Love
BY: An-kun


When the sun shines,
You are my warmth,
When the rain falls,
You are my rainbow,
When the storm cries,
You sooth my thunder,
So when the snow settles,
I'll follow your foot-steps
So that your heart never grows cold.

----

LOVE
BY: Badgerglue


If its around you
U will know.

If it fills ur heart
U will show.

Its blank and
Faint if u make it

You should never
Ever Mistake it

Breaking and
Entering

Slow but
Fast

The meaning of love
Is more then a cast

Alway filling your heart
With more remorse

If u don’t feel the same
Theres nothing I can do

But stay and be quiet
Missing you

U broke my heart
Like u broke a dollar

So fast. But still
I stay on this collar

Seeing love
Like a fake

Until
U fix this mistake….

Who Is She?..
BY: Ketsurui


i love you, i love you with all my heart
even when we were only a province apart
you love me? you love me? did i hear you say
then who is she?.. the one that's here to stay
you told me you love me but she keeps you sane
but what about me? she gives me pain

she took you away, you believe her, not i.
now you are so far, as far as the sky
i'll never reach you now, she's taken over you
you've forgotten me and decided to start things anew
i love you, i love you even if you're far away
and i'm happy you loved me.. till this very day.

----

It's all I can take.
BY: Ketsurui


I've had enough, can't take anymore.
you've treated me like shi/t.. each and every one of you
you'd put me down and leave me crying on the floor
but hearing your insults each and every day. do you listen to what you say?

with a dull knife, you stabbed into me.
into my heart.. that's right, you etched into my heart
with the dullest knife you can find, you carved into it,
things like i'm fat, i'm stupid, i'm shi/t... all scarred into me.

i'll never be what you all want me to be, will i?
so maybe... just maybe... that's just it... it's who i am.
and no one can change.. me. so please, let me go. and if you dont...
i'll do it myself, with the knife in my hand, i shall be free from you.

Ovel
BY: Wu Tang


Where art thou ovel?
Ovel, ovel, where is my ovel?
I have searched low and high
To only find a darkened sky

Where art thou ovel?
Wherever you may tread
Wherever you may be
I have not found you yet ovel
Not even in your golden bed

Where art thou ovel?

----

Valentines Day
BY: Wu Tang


Ridding the old and giving anew
My eyes are fixed on you
My love is burning
Oh, make it stop

My heart will sing
My heart will ring
My heart will soar
My heart will hate no more

So forever be true to the words you've said
So forever this poem lest be read
So that tomorrow may be filled with undying love
That no demon, nor angel, may conjure above

So please give way to this reign of joy
Nothing will take my attention, no man or toy
And please listen, listen well
To the sounds of the wedding bell
To the shores of hope
To the beaches of pain
I have not found thou ovel

Where art thou ovel?
Tossed upon the fiery seas
Where I may find myself anew
I hope to reclaim my sweet ovel

Where art thou ovel?
To what plain must I go
In order to find my forsaken ovel?
Ovel, ovel, where has my ovel gone?

Not As Thought
BY: Britney Fernandez aka septermagick


I thought I was over him
But I do seem to be wrong
A fire is rekindleing
Though, I thought it gone for long

I want to hold him, hug him,
To be with him once more
But I was never with him
And now my chance is out the door

Oh woe
Bestoed on me
My emotions are raging
For everyone to see.

----

Deception
BY: Maestro~ aka Seth King-Gengler


What is this?
Is it life?

Is it death?
Is it an illusion?

Will I ever know,
what this truly is?

Will my questions,
even answered by him?

Can it be,
oh can it be?!

You are not,
who it was for me!

Your decite
and deception,

Grow cold,
on me.

----

Simple Words
BY: PTF_Shadow


The question is a simple one,
Fewer words have decided greater fates,
But this is love not war
Only I have my heart to loose
Will I do what I must do and kneel at your feet?
Hold your hand and ask?

How you answer is my only worry,
Nothing compares to you,
In two or as two,
Either way my heart will change,
But to yours it should beat closer

----

Yours and You


You have my heart,
You are my soul,
Can I be yours?

I want love want to hold you,
But how can I?
When I am already in your arms

I want to see your face,
Loose myself in your eyes,
But I am already blinded by your smile

I want to love you,
But I fear the answer
But would you want me?

I care not what divides us
Others will talk
But would you listen?

Should I ask you?
For me to be yours
Or was it never meant to be?

My Shiny New Boots Got Spat on With Ebonics

Eternal Love
BY: Sunny Kimiko


Our souls are bound by love
Our hearts meet each others'
Our minds are in harmony
Our spirit together always....
Maestrosetti and I..

Love Always
BY: Sunny Kimiko


Have you found it?
The gift from above?
I hope you've found it
The treasure of love

The gift that the angels
Would cast upon our lives
The love that we'd share
The rules we'd abide

I thought that you'd find it
But now it's too late
The treasure is gone
You took the wrong bait

I saw you go on
With that popular girl
Oblivious of the love I gave
And I saw your love unfurl

And I still wish
That you could know
That I still love you
But you've pushed me down low

I hope that one day
You'll return my love
I hope that one day
We'll fly free like the dove
I want you to know
That I'll always be waiting
Waiting for you...

First off, I owe a huge apology to Ketsurui. When designing this voting thread, I left off her second poem. I'm truly sorry for such an absent minded mistake.

Votes have been talaied and the results are:


Blue: It's All I can Take, BY: Ketsurui
Red: Simple Words, BY: PTF_Shadow
Green: Love Always, BY: Sunny Kimiko

Congratulations to each of you, and good try for everyone else.

I think Radical Dreamers poem should get some recongition, due to the daredevil stunt (and joke, I'm assuming) that was pulled, so:


Daredevil Award: My Shiney New Boots Got Spat on With Ebonics, Radical_Dreamer

Stay Tuned for next month's contest.
