When I see your face
I smile inside and out
Nothing could erase
The beauty of your pout
Working hard to make your way
Makes me proud
Wanting to hold you this day
Shatters that gloomy cloud
When you held me all night long
I set my fears aside
You help me become strong
While keeping your pride
I may not be much in your eyes
But this is who I am
Creeping thoughts willed disguise
Can't say love you, damn
Forgetful, it's ok to dream
Wild and unspoken lust
Evidently made to seem
I long for someone to trust
October 1998

Dear poet,
The Aquillrelle 2nd poetry contest is in full swing. This is just a reminder that you are personally invited to join our second contest.
Cash prizes await the winners, and publication the other finalists.
So, if you trust your poetry's beauty, you are heartily welcome to submit.

1. Participants must be above 18 years of age, or sponsored by such a person.
2. Any style accepted, rhyme, no rhyme, nature, family, erotica, personal, society, humor, etc.
3. We apply no censorship, however it is fair to tell you up front that poems encouraging hate, violence, pornography, derogation of others, drug abuse, and similar, have no chance of winning. Of course, if such aspects are relevant and necessary as part of the “story”, then there is no problem in using them.
4. The specific conditions of each individual contest must be adhered to.
5. Proven plagiarism will result in indefinite banning from the site.
