Oh repentance, pungent glory
Curving gently ‘cross my skin
Soft chanting summon forth
Amid thine picturesque repose
Brandish high, oh crest of love
Ode to cascading tears
Drown in pleasure, blissful free
Mirth and recognition break
Trespass this hallowed ground
Sweet withered flower fading
Darling, fallen angel, sigh
Into the night of a black abyss
Heralding catastrophe
Night’s loveliness, shall sorrow
Death's kiss, thy face a mask
Treacherous and glorious
Spells induce my lover’s sleep
Embrace mine form to rapture
Encase thy shape to mine
Oh Earth, take me to thy bosom
Channel to Nirvana’s keep
Soaring with thee, broken angel
Sleep in silenced shroud
Heed within thy grave, the charm
Muse faint in passing light
For whilst lost souls connected
To carve my name deep... into stone

Option #5 Suicide. I know its overused and cliche, but i don't want "My life is spiraling down. Let me die now, stab stab rip stab" I want (1) your thoughts of suicide, especially the high rate of teen suicide or (2) an account of suicide. IF YOU CAN WRITE A POEM ABOUT COMMITTING SUICIDE WITHOUT SOUNDING HORRIBLY EMO AND CLICHE, YOU WILL GET SOME SERIOUS BROWNIE POINTS.

a good piece of poetry that is twisting and tunring the dark imagery into hsapes of pstel tones that scream.

It sounds like an excerpt
of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet! Way to go! We have another Will Shakespeare here! Nice work! And interesting picture-looks like something that's a take off of Lord of the Rings.
