Secret Society Poetry Idol

Well ladies and gentleman, welcome to the 1st Secret Society Poetry Idol :pWho's got what it takes to sweep you off your feet with words of joy or woe?To bring a tear to your eye like only a master could?Who will be the forums special bard without compare? Only you can decide! So vote :(Each week the artists will submit a poem for your judging. If they don't submit a new poem the poem from the previous week will be used, (which may bore people! So try to submit fresh material!)The contestant who has the least amount of votes each week will be eliminated from the contest!So it's important to vote for your favourites! Eventually there will only be one poet left, will be crowned the Secret Society Poetry Idol! (or a better title when I can think of one! :p)

This week the poets will be randomly paired against another contestant. Only one of the pairing will move on to the next round....

Here are the matchings.....

Mirror Image by Lori-Anne Leonard

There is me
I am me
I do not want to be me
I see me in the mirror
I look away
 
People say I am pretty
I say I am not
People say I am Beautiful
I say I am not
People say I am not fat
I say I am
 
 
Why can I not except that just maybe
I am pretty
Why can I not except that just maybe
I am beautiful
Why can I not except that just maybe
I am not fat

Give me a Reason by Anel Akhmetova

Give me a reason to believe that everything will be okAs the shadows creep hoping to consume meReason with my head, tell me my senses are all wrongReach to me, and hold meLead me to a land of hopeSo I can stay to fight another dayI need to believe in somethingAnything at allGive me strength to carry on despite this endless painI'm in need of a reason to believe in myself againSay what you need to my loveLie if you mustI just need some comfort from youSo I can look past todayI need to believe in somethingAnything at allGive me strength to carry on despite this endless painI'm in need of a reason to believe in myself again

Untitled by Matthew Hawn

The well of depression is a deep one.
Morning comes, the sun is shining,
another day begins with frost on the trees.
The beauty of winter is profound.
Reality sets in. Morning has come.
The pain returns. I don’t want to get up.
If only to sleep; close my eyes and forget.
Forget. If only it were that easy.
The cloud of doubt lingers. The queasy feeling returns.
Why did I have to wake up? Why must I face this again?
The darkness of one’s own soul is beyond comprehension;
beyond the ability of true description.
Despair, terror, fear; nothing compares.
I can’t go on much longer.
The well of depression is, indeed, a deep one.

Seed of Despair by Pietra van der Yagt

Nothing can help me now
Nothing will help me tomorrow
My heart, like you know,
Is dripping drops or sorrow.
 
For me you are a thief
Which only came to me
To plant the seed of grief.
That its growing inside of me.
 
I know you don’t understand
What I am feeling inside.
But I am sure I can not stand
this pain that ends my pride.
 
I’m confused and I can’t see the light
If I still love you or is just a might

My Dearest Secret Love by Rob Mulder

There's something I want to tell youBut I just can't find the wordsTo tell you how I feelI don't know how to tell youHow when you're near I feel safe,When you're far, the world's a bitter placeI can't express the way I crumbleWhen I feel your gentle touchHow when you whisper in my earAll I can think, is I want to kiss youTo hold you in my arms until the end of timeBut most of all, I don't know how to tell youThat I love you, that I need youHow every night I cry myself to sleepI hate how the longings kill me insideBut yet, you'll never know dear friendThe way I truely feelSo forever I love you in silenceMy Dearest Secret Love

Untitled by Andy

We met on the bay some time last mayEver since then you have been a great friendYou spoke to me first and often I was nursedYou watched and listened as I was duly christenedYou had me vetted before I was nettedWith an introduction to a whole new seductionNot in a sexual way but in a conventional oneI was accepted a nut and you brought me the hutYou’ve been a great friend and that I won’t pretendYou gave me advice and have been ever so niceFor all that I will say that we will meet some dayI cannot forget that I met your friend on the netThat wasn’t to be and you was still there for meWords of encouragement that were always nourishmentSince that time I’ve had this in mindNow I am doing it and soon you will be viewing itI’ve not asked for advice for this new love is so niceBut when that time comes you’ll be where I go runsSo this is in theory a thanking you dearlyWith this you will know so now I will goBut before I do again thank youI will not forget how we met on the netYou’re like my big sis and I do sometimes missI will wait and see if you one day need meFor help an advice or to just be nice

On the Slopes of Lassen by Kirk MacGreggor

The naivete of the Valley growsIn lily, sequoia, and soft grassesWhile the Mountain inhalesThe promise of night and exhalesThe solitude of aery isolation.Where the two hold hands inDamp forests and mossy cloisters,Only the miraculous and venerableShafts of radiance penetrate,Giving rise to rare and cunningInflorescence.And when the day has spentIts quiver of burning grace,The clouds drift to sleep,Blanketing the sheltered ValleyIn grey condensation.Yet the innocence of the ValleyAnd the tranquility of the forestThe Mountain, in all jaded trial,Knows not.Sleep, tired Mountain, rest with certaintyNot in the permanence of your lover ValleyNor in the amorous charity of the forest,But rest assured in the gratitudeOf the enduring green on your feetAnd the jade resting on your shoulders.

Untitled by Chris Strom

And we are like the bricks placed in a wall.We never dream to search for a way out.And sometimes when the wall’s about to fall,The wall holds out, but was there any doubt?But we are also waves upon the shore,And we will show up there both day and night.We come to do our job and nothing more.We never think of putting up a fight.And even as the pull of gravityCan only keep us fixed here on the Earth,Your only job is to be here with me.Nobody else on Earth could know your worth.But leaves and trees in autumn have to part.The same holds true in matters of the heart

Untitled by MacKenzie

Secrets within smiles,Destruction often comes with soft gesturesMade by porcelain hands wrappedTightly in white laceMomentary silence,Those short breathes of somethingLiving all around you that doesNot want to be heardBeautiful simplicity,Gods and words dictate wishful mindsBut in the end we all have thatVery same thoughtEndless empty words,Keeping quiet in the presence of realityAnd learning that each tomorrowFinds us further than todayDeceptive prospects,Trust no future that is seen as constantFor the drum beats inside usGrow weaker and weakerSecrets within smiles,Smiling in the face of their destruction thatComes with beauty and my lifeThat comes with secrets

Untitled by Bill

i see you in the stars above, i see you in my dreams. while walking down a quiet road, and in the bubbling streams. i see you when i'm working, i see you in the sky. in the golden rays of sunshine, and the clouds as they drift by. i see you when i shower, i see you in our bed. thinking of us making love,i see it in my head.your lovely image haunts me,its beyond my full control.you're burned too deep inside my heart,You're etched into my soul.the lonely minutes,hours,days,drag by while you are gone.by my side is where i need you,every second is too long.sometimes the memories flood my brain,i flashback to the past.all the time we've spent together,how it seemed to go too fast.I see our walks along the beach,the picnics that we've shared.our treks into the mountains,stunning views at which we stared.Holding hands and smiling,we talk and walk along.I see me serenading you,with a soft and tender song.our talks about the future,about the past we reminisced.We sometimes stopped along the way,to simply hug and kiss.i flashback even further,to the very day we met.how vividly it rushes back,a day i wont forget.Hurt and yearning souls, reaching out for love and passion. Finding in our hearts and words, a positive attraction. from that day our feelings grew,the future bright to see.i had eyes for only you,and you for only me.i see you every single day, in everything i do. my mind might think of other things, but my thoughts return to you.

Untitled by Samantha Harper

I could see it in your eyes that day There was something wrongYou ended my happy existence with a goodbyeYou said you had lived this lie for too long

You said you never really loved meAnd I had long since become a burden to youAfter all those years togetherIn a single moment we were through

Your words were like daggersWith cruel precision you struck every chordYou played upon all my insecuritiesBefore plunging in the final sword

Still, I begged you not to goIndifferent to my tears you walked awayHow was I ever supposed to knowAll I had lived for would end that day

Hope by Lubna Naveed

Don't be sad don't be scaredThere is a light at the end of this tunnelBut first you have to go up through a funnelDon't get tempted to chase the fireflyLet me tell you the reason whyCause they are going to make you astrayThe inner light will find your wayThe tunnel will soon endJust a few more bendsThen there will be a big lightThat will eat the nightAre you ready for that sight?Warning! hold your carriage tight

    I agree, there's so much talent on this site really
