Zhya: Sweet Potato Gumdrops
By: X

Sweet potato gumdrops and jalapeno ice cream
Delights that appear in pepperoni-induced dreams
How did you end up naked in the mall?
Why does my every nightmare end with a fall?

Zhya: Brain Quake
By: Wolfos

Brain quake
Sound I take
No one around
I wouldn't make a sound
But no
My conscience takes the blow
Walk through the sensors...
What do you expect?
They didn't go off
No rhyme this time

Zhya: Does My Lawn Dance?
By: Reaper

Does my lawn dance?
No it is emo, it cuts itself
I do not have to slave away with the stupid lawn mower
Because it does not dance
It is emo
I am so lazy I'm so glad my lawn is so emo I don't need to slave away any more
It does not dance gracefully when the wind pushes against it
I'm one lazy son of a b~%$y and and I love my lawn even though it's emo

Zhya: Millionaires
By: xbombchellex

Living the big life
With your nice cars
And your beautiful wife
Put your money where your mouth is
But you ain't changing
You're just a
High class prick
Just like the other
But money won't get you
Nowhere
And someday you'll see

Zhya: Disaster
By: Nick Has Nooo Idea

Wind picks up
Moving steady
A little more
The air is ready
To sweep this town
From whence it came
Deposit it
In terrible fame
These houses stood
On wood and plaster
No saving them
From this disaster
Town swept away
Thirty Four killed
Naught left to do
But rebuild
Nature's majesty
Is a wild beast
Fire and brimstone
Is just the least
Nine remained
From Forty Five
A small town smaller
But still alive

Zhya: Circus Tickets
By: itskristinab*tch

The Moscow circus is the one I once saw
Stamping elephants and crest-fallen lion
Slapped with whips, and beaten down into angry submission
How i wanted to slap the keepers, and the torturers
Mother asked if I had a good time at the show
I surely did not
Not knowing how those poor, beautiful beasts had t spend their night looked away in small cages
Not much room to strut and run
I told her in the end I'd gladly trade the circus tickets for a bag of the circus peanuts the next time.

Zhya: The Gogoplex
By: Wolfos

I've passed this place many times
Seen the people walk by the yard
Never once did I see the one
Seems that the gods have kept her far
Trapped on her island
Or is it me on my rock
Can't see too far
The others seem to mock
Been to many clubs
Too many to count
same with bars, malls, tech schools
Not one would I ever mount
Millions a day
Thousands an hour
Hundreds a minute
Need to build my tower

Zhya: Basic Instinct
By: Cursed_Eternity

Darkness surrounds
Cloaking the forest in an inky blackness
In the not so far distance, a sound is heard
A cracking of twigs
Now a rustle of leaves
I freeze, paralyzed from sudden fear
I listen carefully, to the sounds of the night
Leaves crunching beneath a heavy step
Paralysis sinking ever deeper
The sound is getting closer
Silence falls, then without warning, another twig snaps
This time so close that I jump into air
This time so close that I jump into air
And run as fast as I can into the night

Zhya: Crossroads
By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu

Tears of the shattered world rest upon the hands
Look into the black and turn away from white
Scattered along the wind to shadow of distance
Faced with left and right
Tears run down the face of innocence
CHOSE! words are shouted
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Only to choose what is thought to be right
Standing alone with dissipating light.
Shadows rest on the face
One dances with joy the other with death
Clenches your chest
Asking the world what do I choose

Zhya: Raspberry Quilt
By: Skiddles

This is more than a coverlet
Greater than a spread
Hand-sewn memories
Lay across the bed
It's pleasure and pain
Laughter and sorrow
Bits of fabric
Thoughts of tomorrow
A beautiful panorama
Of scraps of my life
From the moments of glory
To the ones of strife
Cherishing the story
Of times that have been
A gate I can open
To once live again
It's more than a blanket
This Raspberry Quilt
It a completed jigsaw puzzle
Of the life I have built

Zhya: Running Vaguely
By: Cursed_Eternity

A dusty road under my feet
Dry sand peppers the air with every step I take
The road goes on into the horizon with no end in sight
Darkness builds from deep within
Pain, anger, hate, disillusionment
All rear their ugly heads from a place I never knew was there
Suddenly the tears fall, tears I didn't know I had
My footsteps unknowingly pick up speed
I run, run from the past I was unaware had caused so much hurt
Into the horizon, with no thought on where I am going or if there is even an end

Zhya: Remembering
By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu

In my mind
An Instant
Etched in memory forever
Plucked from the obscurity
Of high-school dinners
And cold
Winter mornings
When the snow was fresh
And when the air was
Riped with dew
I find myself caught
within a web
Of stony tombstone rock.

To everyone else a statistic
To me
My flesh
My blood
Ensnared in the realm
Of delirium, neglect
And drunkerdness.

Sanity may have slid
Through the grasp of the protector
Or was
The soothing bitterness
Of the devil
Too enticing to ignore?
Stronger than love
Temptation must be

A death bed
A luxury
She was not at liberty
To have- Merely
A downtown cradle
Cris-crossed with
Broken bottles
Entwined with syringes
Woven around
Discarded cigarette

As she drew her final breath
Amongst the stench of ethanol
She drifted out of this world
Never to wake again..

Buried in a pothole
Rife with disease
And the rain
Of days gone by
But
No more than
Four feet deep
At last the sad eyes close unto the world

Whipped from minds and hearts alike
Is there such a thing
To remember

Zhya: If You Could
By: Skiddles

If you could
Do you think you would,
Do you think you should,
Think before you stood,
And stated what you think is good,
How you try to be the Robin Hood,
And were the one who withstood
Their hypnosis, that you'd
Save us all.
I think you could,
I think you would,
I think you should,
Just sit back down.

Zhya: Bleeding Echo
By: Crash00

The echo starts slowly
I listen.....
It makes me wonder.....sometimes
And then I remember the pain, as I wake

The hills of my home,
I remember them still
I long to be back there,
With her and the roses

It seems so far away now
The heart grows weary with time, I think
I hear the wind at night
It whispers, and I listen with a dream

I recall the starry nights of carelessness
I still hear the song of the nightingale
As it sings to her content
It stirs a faint echo of memory, not certain,
But carried on the soul

My home, the wonderful world I left
The person I came to be
.........

Tears fall, mostly when I'm in that well known place,
Just between sleep and wake
The pain always comes then,
I see the place of my birth
And I am cradled in arms

I can almost hear her thoughts,
Before I am ripped away by the light
Find a hot date for tonight
Like a leaf in a storm

I know where I have been
I know where I am
Where I'm going I cannot conceive
My mind is foggy, my thoughts blurred

I am spiraling in an unknown direction,
Walking a path of uncertainty
Sometimes I feel my mothers arms around me,
But I know it is a desire of the aching heart,
As real as an echo of a dream.

Zhya: Burnt Intelligence
By: Skiddles

The smell of flesh filled
My lungs; imploding masterfully
Post intake of Oxygen into
Lobes designed to contribute
Life unto the organ donor

Entirety of screams drumming
Mallets against the inner
Ear; Vibrations seize
Thoughts of death and flame

Religion and Rationality
Of Einstein taken from
Their Homes and hearts to
Burn intelligence to extinction.

Zhya: Perceived Lustful Pregnancy
By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu

You slide your hand down the silken fabric
Color rush to the surface
The pull of the time
The pressure of bodies
The tears that runs down a face
Sadness?
Happiness?
The flash backs won't leave
Wrapped in warm light
Lights above your head
The terrible smell of after shave
the stubble across soft skin
cries
Screams
The shouting of "why this time?"
"What did i do to get this?"
Heated false passion
One miserable night
Your lust thrown onto my body
9 months of trying to forget
Laying in the white bed covered in red stains
The little cries of life and joy
Can love be giving to such a hate
Looking in the small face holding the tiny hands
Can all that be seen is that perceived lustful night?
Slowly backing away from time
Wrapping the red ribbon in her hair
All the thoughts rush back
The perceived lustful night I was giving such a gift
Love can be giving to such a hateful night

Zhya: Truth
By: Channy1378

As I think through our day
I go over the things you had to say
You whisper quietly into my ear
"Hunny I love you"
But do you really love me?
But what I want is the real truth
Are you IN love with me?
Past memories float across my mind
The touch of your soul to mine
Electricity shoots through my veins
And then it hits me
You are my soul mate
But we can not be
Because as I mention being IN love with you, you turn and flee
I lay here now with my heart spilled out
You just confirmed the truth

Zhya: Wicked Beauty
By: itskristinab*tch

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So many songs i have sung
And so many people i have lured to Sharon and his river Styx
The cusp of the living world and the on of dead below
Down to the level of Hades
Now the hundred-handers are the masters
All it took was a beautiful song burning into an ear and into the brain
Logic, reason, and the urge to survive fails
Listen to the song. the sweet song of my desires
Only for your death.
Taking you to the river styx
Have your coin to pay for your ride, as it's the reaper who drives.
The only it took to possess the dead
Was my siren's song to crash a score of fragile bodies to their death
The music of the soulless is the true wicked beauty.
Now Hades has you, and there is no return.
Ceberus will never let you go.

Zhya: Holes In The Swiss Cheese
By: OUT_OF_ORDER

Smooth in sections, but filled with holes
Until you slice it more unfold
My heart like a block of Swiss cheese
Easily edible, a savory treat

Zhya: What a Ww^$#
By: Cursed_Eternity

The bright lights beckon
Like a lighthouse showing a sailor his way home
Then it hits me like a freight train
I try to fight it but its a fight I've lost countless times
The need to give in is frightening
The compulsion is a disease that slowly eats me alive
My feet move toward the lights on their own, I have no control
As I open the door I can't help but wonder if I will ever be free
But then I realize that my soul was devoured
I can no longer save myself
There is no redemption

Zhya: Calling Me
By: aliceellen

Waiting, hoping
Something's right
That maybe you'll call tonight
I know it futile but still
I'll try I never got to say goodbye
So I'm waiting for you to call
But knowing that there's no hope at all
So instead I'll call this time
Just so that I can say goodbye

Zhya: Memories
By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu

The rain falls over the leaves
Sitting on the steps
Flash backs
Laughs, smiles, tears, kisses
Arguments echo off my mind
Please forgive me
Pulling puppet strings of emotions

Broken glass scatters the ground
Bloody hands touching my face
Soft tears hit my cheeks
Cold and warm embrace each other
Resting the love and hate on the lap

Kept asking why
Sobs as news is given
Shouting from my lungs
Wrapping arms around myself
Holding the pain at bay
I close my eyes

Smiles and chuckles fade into my mind
Soft petals touch my skin
I stare up at your face
The cheeky smile
The brushing of lips

Only memories invade my mind
Gripping the mug of hopes
A single tears still falls as blame lay upon one self
Hating you hating me
Throwing the mug shouting to the sky
Come Back.

Lay awake at night
Still I feel your hand intertwined with mine
I'll always hold that dance
I'll keep smiling
I'll keep remembering our memories
As I sleep with silent unseen tears
