It was an interesting contest. I was wanting to read the other entries. Is there a place where they're all listed? Maybe a forum post with links?

- "We're never really clean so long as we continue to breathe. It's my view that there is a God that created us, and he made us in three parts like Himself. Body, Mind, and Soul (Spirit). Because of our nature (sin) we are corrupt, but can be forgiven by accepting God (Jesus). This only washes our souls, though. The body is still corrupt, and so begins a war in our minds to choose one or the other in our actions. In death, the body will no longer have influence and we can be truly clean. * * * Not trying to preach, just letting you know what thoughts were behind my writing."

- "I took him to the Vet when they opened this morning. He was so weak he couldn't stand.
They mostly stabilized him with IV fluids, but when they got the blood work back, my Boy's kidney function was completely shut down, and the liver was almost as bad. His values were at the edge or off the chart. Systemic failure.
He looked a little stronger when I got to him in the afternoon, but the Vet said he could go at any time, and that he wouldn't make it more than a day or two at most even with a continuous IV drip. The toxins were building up too much, and he would only feel worse with every passing hour.
Still, when i put my head in the cage, he purred. He looked at me with love, as always, but also with such tiredness. He expected Dad to make it better, like before.
I'll never have children I suppose. I always call him, "Daddy's Tiger Boy."
I wanted to bring him home for one more night. I still want him here.
But he isn't.
I loved on him for another hour, but finally realized I was being selfish to want one more night, when he has given me 20 years of love.
I told them to stop his descent before he got even worse again. It was the second hardest thing I've ever done.
It was like a cloud of unreality was in the room.
He needed me to make it better, and this was the only "better" left.
I love my Tiger.
I wish he was a kitten with me again. Such times we had."

- "Thank you. So far the only peace has been the numbness of emotions that have learned to not focus on the pain. Still three years later it overwhelms me at times.
At least when it hurts, it reminds me I'm not dead yet."

Sadly, the possibilities were wasted, again."

Excellent write! This poem flows so freely... like blood from a freshly opened wound.
Your sad poem makes me wonder how many other people out there in this cold world show only their mask... not their true emotions; perhaps more than we wish to imagine.
You get a vote from me... this rocks!

The pain you've written here is so familiar and so vividly expressed and inescapable, the line "This was not supposed to be my life." really hit me

I'm more of a deeply abstract type when it comes to serious poetry but you could have just changed my mind. Jaw dropping awe is what you've caused...and without all the perforated frills involved in alot of other works. You got my vote...simply amazing.

Good lord. Been a long time since a poem has hit me so hard.

- "I don't know how. I don't want to be free. I can't want to cut myself away from the true love that grew in my heart when I opened it. What is in me is beyond my own comprehension. I was accepted, even desired. I was wanted by one that I wanted, even for a moment. That was my price. I sold myself for one moment, but I wanted to give her a lifetime of love. I really would rather be dead than to live without love. I would live to give her all of me. I would kill or die to protect her. I am dying, just far too slowly and torturously for my taste."

- "Yeah, the Vulcan is a fine machine, no doubt. Maybe riding a bike takes up enough of our attention so we can't bother to think about the demons that follow behind. * * * I had a couple of friends ride with me when passing through Louisiana last week. I was on WARBIRD (the Vulcan 900), and they were on my 'Busa & a GSX-R 1000. I know those curvy backroads well, and passed them at about 90. When they realized I wasn't slowing down I had quite a lead and it took them a good minute to catch me. My friend gave me a great compliment. He said it isn't just the machine, it's the driver. That made me smile too."

- "I do love that you think, and even the way, although that would have been too cliche' to say alone. I consider myself cheered. The calm and rational perception of the spear is ever so refreshing, even if not liberating. Perhaps I shall scream again tonight in my dreams. Fate should be flogged, or we should if we make our own."

- "No, your first impression gets the nod. Love is not an illusion. Love comes from within, burning and growing in out hearts as we open to it. The light and heat from it can become so intense that they burn away life itself, leaving only smoke - in essence the memory of that all devouring flame. I wanted the reader to consider the possibility that love is real enough to burn away every other meaning in life. I intended the classical colloquialism of "Smoke and Mirrors" to be a juxtaposition. I am screaming that love is not fake, but that life without love in it is fake and meaningless. * * * At the end I bitterly despise the fact that that which was needed to bring warmth and life, since it was left unattended, has brought devastation. * * * Thank you Ainsof, for your always penetrating and well considered comments."

- "I'd have to fully disagree. when you really love someone, you don't need a reason, you just do. Love doesn't require anything in return. What you are describing is a need or a want, not love. The majority of people get these two confused, using the word Love far too often. When they say, " I love you" they mean, "I want you to make me happy" or " I want you to fill this need I have." True love is not a balance sheet, and doesn't require anything in return, even though when each cares for the other's needs out of love, it will grow into the full measure of what love SHOULD mean."

- "Use a bigger hammer, MoonGirl. How can you make yourself stop loving someone when it isn't an infatuation, or even a desire, it's just me, my inner being. I've let go. I'm not holding on, she just lives inside me now."
Posted by Scarrzz on "Beneath the Mask" by Scarrzz
- "You are very perceptive, Ainsof. The difference in this work is that I wrote it not in the throes of emotional devaststion, but in a state of numbness. These are my thoughts without my heart. - But there are also deeper meanings that only the one I wrote it to would understand."

- "My lungs ache immeasurably, and my heart strains for any ounce of hope, but there is nothing to breathe. To me, true, unconditional love is something that cannot be released. That just isn't the way I am made. I wish my history were different, but I wouldn't change myself, just a few of my choices.
. . . LOVE is more important than air."

- "Sweet MoonGirl, I know it riles you up when you see me hurting because you care. I thank you for that. The thing is, she IS worthy of it, she just didn't want it from me. She made the mistake of helping me to believe she did, and I have forgiven her for that. The other thing is, I don't love her based on whether she deserves it or not anyway. My soul chose her. It just pours out of me like a waterfall from the side of a mountain. You can't see where it comes from, and it just doesn't stop."

- "
Love is my way of being, it permeates who I am, shaping my actions and attitudes. I am more aware of the force of it than of the blood coursing through my body. I can and do love without having an object nearby to give it to, but there is a primary object and many others as well. Isolated love is quiet and may survive, But if imperfect will wither and die. When love is given and accepted, even perchance returned in kind, it blooms powerfully and beautifully. I am mourning the isolation."

- "It sounds like you know, and you're absolutely right. As I have said before, " Unconditional love bestows the power to endure such agony that one can withstand anything but it's loss. "

It is still nearly unbearable, but at least it is real."
