Young Writers Society

Kay, I started a little late, but to get one of Nate's 1,000's of bookmarks, you only need to do twenty
so by all means, check back for failed attempts and laugh at me.
Inspiration still hasn't come back, this is forcing all the drops of creativity out of my mind and giving me a purpose.

#1 Wicked Lovely
First off, general inspiration came from the title of the book Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr, it's now base off reading the first chapter of Red Riding Hood, the sanctum line was from a reviewer way back, and I quote "I loved this poem because of how much I hated it. I pierced my inner sanctum, a place where I allow no one who does not deserve it" xD
okay, enough rambling.

So heart-achingly handsome,
your gaze piercing my inner sanctum.
I watch as you grow angry,
a storm brewing in your eyes madly.

How could I love a creature so cruel?
I laugh at myself, I must be a fool.
Everyday for you is merely another kill,
a chance to fulfil your hunger, to perfect your skill.

You've never loved me back,
you'll learn I tell myself, I'll feed you my emotions, give you what you lack.
I've seen how dangerous you can be, you're ruthless,
but you can protect me, and I can tame you, so you know so much yet are clueless.
I watched you while you destroyed everything I know,
you can change, I convince myself, I'll help you, after eerything I owe.

Who am I kidding?

How could a wolf ever learn to love?



WOOH, FIRST ONE DONE!
p.s I <3 rhymezone. xD

This one's slightly longer, and based on the title of the story Dark Secrets 1: Legacy of Lies by Elizabeth Chandler, I don't know what to think of it...somebody just read it and laughed at me :/ I guess they just don't appreciate my talent xD.

#2 Legacy of Lies

You couldn't take it, keeping these dark, private memories,
after knowing for so long, of untold secrets tangled in the web of centuries...

You decided to end it.

Yet you knew, that with your demise,
would come a legacy of lies.

I was the only one who knew, the only one you could confide in,
but with that trust came a burden, a burden so great it was a sin.
I cried the night you told me what you'd done, thinking God would send me to Hell,
but at least we had eachother, we could talk about it, I didn't have to tell.

Even now that you've gone, the lies still live on,
but I made you a promise, one that I deeply regret, I can't tell anyone.

And now, I've been left forsaken, with nowhere to call my own,
they left me long ago, fleeing to another home.

They mutter words of craziness, asking me what colour of the week it is as they laugh,
do they think I'm stupid?

Today they suggested sending me to a mental institution,
assuring me it's for the best, that it's a good solution.

Do you now realise what you've done?

I hope you realise,
that this legacy of lies,
will too be my demise.



I might actually do this XD

SHOCK HORROR! I almost couldn't post this :/ first my laptop died, and then it disapeared, and then all the bottom keys didn't work... :/ it's fixed now though The title of this one is from Rubies in the Snow by Kate Hubbard, and based on a story I'm reading on WattPad, Billion Dollar Girl.


#3
Rubies in the Snow

How could I marry a boy so vain?
one that laughs at me, enjoys my pain?
He's only doing this to escape the fate,
frustrating his father can no longer wait...

Because that selfish boy can't take that his father has planned out his life,
but what am I saying? I'm helping him, by being his wife.

I'm just his peasant in this everchanging game.
only in it for the reward, I can take the pain.

He'll never love me, a girl so poor, and even if I wanted to, I could never return the emotion,
he has so many admirers, with his charming smirk, and eyes of green ocean.

Oh, he makes me so confused.

Will it ever work? I don't think so,
we're just too different, like rubies in the snow...



XD THIRD ONE DONE!

#4
The Forbidden Sea

Enchanting whispers luring you near,
each perfect note filling your core with fear.
A song so beautiful, yet deadly cruel,
you resist temptation, it's against every rule.

Every nightmare is filled with a slender clawing hand,
viciously cutting your leg, as you try to escape the sand.
It's wrong, they say, to go where they so dangerously dwell,
you'd be sacrificed if you were marked by a creature of Hell.

You hear stories of the captured, tortured to the point of insanity,
and rumours of those who survive, carrying a disease that could kill all humanity.

And now they're getting closer, the whispers louder, more intricate,
their hungry land eating away at the sand, Man thinks soon it will become infinite.


Yet you can't help but wonder,
as you sit with bare toes, touching the sea,
why must Merkind, be so deadly?



Anyone guess which book this is from?
XD

#5
Infinite Days

They told me from the dawn of time that I could have forever,
teaching me the ways of Earth, they wished me luck in my endeavor.

I set out to this planet, to find the love you had disguised,
I searched and searched and never stopped, as you had advised.

You promised it would be there, right before my very eyes,
I shook my head and laughed, I could forgive your lies.

Even to this day I haven't given up my quest,
I have to find you, prove my love, and show that I am blessed.

Some days I desperatly, ask for a clue,
but all I hear is your laugh, and a voice filled with rue;

"it's in your very core..."

I still don't understand,
does it mean something in another land?
I shall never know unless I carry on'
if I wait any longer it may just be gone.

I've asked the Africans,
I've asked the Indians,
I've asked the boy that cannot speak.

I've asked the English,
I've asked the Spannish,
I've asked the dying woman, liying in the street.

I think I may have asked, just about everyone,
and still I have no answer, what could it be? I ask anyone.

And as I sit here on the edge of existence,
with thoughts roaming the skies,
and eyes searching the prize,
I think to myself, do I have enough persistence?

I hear a faint chuckle;

"everyone had the answer."

It hits me as I realise,
his clues were no lies,
loves cunning disguise,

was life.

I had spent infinite days seeking something I had from the beginning,
but that didn't matter, because as I pulled him into an embrace, I was grinning.

I pushed myself to write... And this is what I got xD I know you can't tell but I'm writing this in quick reply. On my iPod.

#6 Reckless

How reckless, I laugh,
to try to escape his wrath,
I admire your strength.

I did TWO today! Cause... I missed yesterday :/

#7 Fragile Eternity

How could you? I whisper,
my words are stolen by the wind, and I shiver.

For a moment I stand perfectly frozen, then I realise that I should run,
but I can't, I must stay by your side, and as I look into your eyes full of hatred in the burning sun,

I remember our promise;

"I will protect you, no matter the cost."

We'd taken that innocent promise, and set it in the strongest stone,
it ment that no matter what, we'd stay by each others side, so we would never die alone.

I thought that really showed our love, that nothing could ever break us, that we were one,
it never crossed my mind, that we could break us, that we would be our own end. I guess you've won.

Why betray me now? Why turn me in? You know my only crime, was following my religion,
was it for some kind of of reward? Or maybe because really, you hate what I am? Please tell me, what made your desicion?

And even now that you have broken my faith, part of me still loves you, how could it not?
So, as I continue to fall into the depths of your ocean blue eyes, I wonder, could you still love me, or have you forgot?

You move toward me, as if you have one last thing,
for a moment I feel faint, to know that you're not staying,
but then I laugh, my voice tinkling, you think you're king.

I send you on your way,
and sit down to wait.
As you leave I say;

"Eternity is fragile, and ours just broke."



WOOH

Okay, here's the other one I did today

#8 Don't Forget to Remember Me

Your warm, loving embrace,
imprinted on me, just in case,
that beautiful, laughing face,
in every photo, and every place.

All these things are mere memories,
compared to the thing that will stay with me for centuries.

A promise that I could never break,
a voice so weak that it makes my heart ache;

"Don't forget to remember me..."

It's just my luck, that every day,
you're the lost soul, that won't go away.

<3

Today's one . I didn't do yesterday because I was somewhere else. Being chased by ehte92's evil tractors xD.

#9 Sometimes Breaking the Most Important Rules is Worth it in the End

A burning fiery rage,
drenched by cool, refreshing age.

They met one summers day,
only caught a glimpse of each other, and went on their way.

Two starcrossed lovers that were never meant to be,
left a reminder, for the whole world to see.

And everytime they meet,
no matter the hour, or the day of the week,
they always leave behind,

their child, the Rainbow.


xD
there are pieces of Galaxy Ripple stuck in my keys...

#10 Driftwood

I stand frozen, as your sea gren eyes warn me,
telling me wordlessly that I can't, that I musn't, don't I see?

I don't, I really cannot understand,
that is why I'm here, holding out a hand.

But still you do not take it,
with your hands by your side, and eyes filled with despise, I feel as if I've been hit.

How can I save someone who doesn't me to?
How can I rescue someone who is helping Death? I wish I knew.

Waves crashing,
panicked voices,
a hazed view.

Coarsing terror,
rumbling skies,
what am I to do?

And still you stubbornly refuse,
shaking your dirty blonde hair, and revealing a bruise.

A tear falls down my cheek, masked by the rain,
I can't lose you now, can't deal with the pain.

Which is why I plunge into icy cold seas,
and take you up, despite your pleas.

And as I lie,
on this stretch of sand,
watching seagulls fly by,
holding your numb hand,

I realise,
sometimes driftwood is worth rescuing...


Not too sure on this one, but ho hum,
I'M IN DOUBLE DIGITS! xD

Okay, Ive decided not to try and catch up, but I will NOT, miss anymore days, ever.
Now that I think I've found my style, I have decided to experiment with other forms of poetry, so here goes

#11 Deadly Lies Come From Beautiful Lips





, apparently this is a cinquain...

xD this started of as one teeny haiku about a picture of a cluster of stars, and then I decided to do the whole process, making the first one the last; if you read this READ IN ORDER! Although some of them would do fine alone...

#12 A Giant, Luminous Sphere of Plasma











xD I got this stuff off NASA so I think it's all correct...

Need I say more?

#13 Die Poem

Damn you, poem.
Hardly anything rhymes with you,
and going from rhymeZone,
the only word I recognise, is 'lonesome'.

That's what you will be poem,
do you understand? Lonesome.

I was about to drift, into a peaceful sleep,
instead you came to mind, I didn't dream of jumping sheep.

How annoying you are, wouldn't exist if I didn't remember,
I want you to die, fade into an ember.

Why, oh why, did I take on this task?
I feel like a villian, whose been robbed of his mask.

Oh, I'm sorry poem, it's not your fault...

so.. I decided to use the NaPoWriMo prompt today it was to write a ghazal, I had to do a LOT of research before I finally figured it all out ^_^

#14 For You To See Me

Tonight, and every night ahead, I spend in foolish fantasy, hopeless dreaming, and gossamer yearning, for you to see me.
Ha. As if you could ever take away, my unrequited love for you... yet still I wish, with passion burning, for you to see me.

In my dreams I see, a painfully beautiful prince, with a twisted heart of stone, still I could not help but die, if I died in sight.
These perfect dreams are shattered, with a blindness so selfishly chosen, but every day I hope, with a stomach churning, for you to see me.

If you can see the painted sunset, the sparkling stars, and airbrushed clouds, why can't you see me, waiting for you in the midst?
I must be delusional, to think that you could ever see the world how I do, so full of wonder, it would take a lot of learning, for you to see me.

Maybe if I stand to block your veiw, so you can see nothing but me? My heart longs to tear down your carefully crafted facade, my head wishes to succumb to your will.
Do you see me know? I think not. The mere beauty of this quest, is the very soul it takes from me, all of my passion, everything I am earning, for you to see me.

After the struggle, after the pain, would you nurse my tender bruises? Whisper sweet words of nothingness, breathing them into my core?
No, you would not, a serial killer of lovers with an amused expression on your face. You would use me, toss me away, and then break my heart. I would keep on returning, for you to see me.

The mocking prince holds your gaze for a split second and laughs,
"Oh tinkembell, I'll never see you, yet at least you know, you don't have to do anything, even remotely concerning, for you to see me..."


I hope you know how hard that was to write, each couplet is it's on mini-poem, so nothing can depend on amy other stanzas, you have to write your radif at the end of the second line of every couplet, and the word before that has to rhyme with all the others O_0

Yep. Hard.

<3
