Love Poem Contest WinnersIn honor of Valentine's Day, we here at The Villager held a contest for all the poets of Rune Village. It was a simple challenge, really. Just come up with a poem about your dearest love and submit it to us. We received a lot of really good poems and after a hard time judging and figuring out which ones were best, we have come up with the winners. Congratulations to you all. And the winners are... Third Place: I don't think it has a title but it's by Pi E I lay awake on my bed Rain falls down, never-ending Thoughts of you race through my head wishing, wanting, needing you to be here. The room is dark, no one is around the darkness seems to become dim, the more I think about you. The dark fades away until light has shone through one thing on my mind, not mistakenly, you. Your my everything, why life’s worth living. Without you here, the days would be gray. Nothing would be worth while, even living life in general wouldn’t be worth it because I couldn't go a day without your smile. What I'm saying isn't hard at all, 3 simple words are put to the test meant by some, faked by the rest. Only by taking chances, you will find the one but look no further, you’re search has come to an end I'm standing right in front of you. These words, I have waited the longest time to say would you be the one, the one ill love and hold until the end of the world until this world grows old. These words I speak come straight from the heart. It seems nothing can tear our bond apart. No matter who tries, or what they do just remember these words I'll always love you. Second Place: "Fortune Worth The Fight" by Uli Ruddle Fortune Worth The Fight Fortune found while still a child Keeping it is the largest trial In our youth we believed forever Yet there are times when you think them the devil Soon united through mind, body, and Spirit Feeling so happy yet For some reason you fear it Times come and go yet I have learned One small lesson that would help this world: "Love is not a feeling that you get once a night But something that makes you willing to fight Love is not money but relationships you build Hoping they grow, never to be sealed" So when you join, both you and your friend, Remember this poem and what I have said That Love's not a feeling but something to fight for Worth pain, Worth sorrow, Worth every tomorrow First Place: "Dietary Heart" by Uli Ruddle Dietary Heart Ok Folks here is my second poem. Due to the complications of word placement and the overall feel of the poem when done without the rhythm I have supplied a sound sample of how it is suppose to go. Remember though that this is an Uli Rudde Original. I wrote this a while back, now it seems the time to show someone. So here it is... Dietary Heart(Sound Clip) *Right Click and Save Target As to download.* And here are the Lyrics: No doors, locks or entry ways, Just a flicker in your eyes that I despise, When you turn my way I want to say, “You treat me like I’m Crippled, Give me bad excuses why, Play me on and tell me, ‘I’m a sweet guy’ But, I love you,” When we’re on the phone conversatin’, First come the sighs then excuses, Followed by the “I don’t know whys”, Well I do! I’m always wanting yes or no, No, nothing in-between, I sit around just feeding off of my dreams, Meanwhile wasting your time but, You love me! Life is up and down baby, Always in-between like a magic carpet ride, Nothing is clean; you still have to sweep the rug, Once you’re done having fun. Love ain’t all about the feelings that you get, Way down deep inside, There is something more that you can’t ignore, Like your mind if grows off of everything it’s fed so, Do you have a healthy love? Get a treadmill of compassion, Or weights of understanding Dietary Heart Congrats again to the winners and thanks to everyone who entered a poem. They were all really good and it made judging them difficult. Happy Valentine's Day. Written By: Zilla Edited By: Petrenks Coded By: Gamestar |
