Prizewinners


Scarlet tears left undefined
In shattered heart and broken mind
From gentle torture’s deathly chase
I spill the tears to end this race

I reach for prize of death inviting
The glistening cup of tears that shining
Release the charm to end this day
Looks up and wipes my tears away

To Fail in Life



I failed to fly again last night
I turned my head, got lost in fright
Delayed the dream to future’s day
And stood and spoke in present’s play

The crashing ground that hit me fast
That rushed and left me ripped apart
At seams of wrist with scars to show
The little lines where blood did flow

Alone in chance and hopeless words
Alive in cold and silent chords
One step behind the dreams I chase
I reach for end of desperate race
