Clouded visions, beautiful facades.
A world of bliss untold.
Follow me into this wondrous lie.
We never made it through the first life,
And I’m sure this one will be better.
Among the carnations and blades.
A vivid smile, as the pain sears your side.
Kisses like fire,
A passionate repose.
Torn away by the thorns.
We are dying within the lyrics of life.
Take them in before they escape you.
Please, don’t cry any longer.
For a path will lay itself before us.
And we shall suffer for eternity.
Among the lilies and venom.
Fear is only an illusion, they whisper.
The pain will fade, like everything else.
You finally render your soul.
While tears slide quietly, ever so quietly,
Down your face.
We will dance among the roses and sorrow.
With the echoes of silence,
Pensively watching,
As we spiral toward our dark fate,
Only to be reborn once again.
Tears will come.

When a poem isn't really written specifically for a contest it's usually pretty easy to tell by the fourth or fifth line. Not specifying that I want poems that haven't been entered (and won) in other contests in my fault, and I accept that, but only on the poems that I think fit the theme.
It's a good poem, quite well written, and I can see how it could be connected to the theme of the apocalypse, but for me it seems more like the end of two then the end of everything -
Ooh I love Skillet! Haha you know Jessica this poem really deserves a name. It's too good to be a Nemo.

Kisses like fire,
A passionate repose.
Torn away by the thorns.

Welcome To AP
Hello Oceanna,
I really loved this poem! I love what you said about the part
"dying within the lyrics of life" I have never thought about that before.
I noticed that you didn't have a title for this incredible piece.
You could call it " Lyrics Of Life " or Sorrows, or something like that...
I look forward to seeing more of your work!
Kari,
