First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.
Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:
It must fit the week's theme. It must be submitted by the deadline. It cannot have inappropriate language in it. It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).
Also:
The poem must be created for this contest A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!) Only one submission per user will be accepted
As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.
OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!
You need to cut and paste to notepad, change the punctuation, then paste here, or directly paste here and change the punctuation not directly pasting here from Word.
*sigh* Orion, why do your poems always have to be dark and depressing and all that? It gets repetitive.
I actually liked Orion's poem, all bar the dull name. To me the poem is unique in the wording choice, each line is unpredictable and the flow makes it fast paced, not dull and boring. I suppose the dark and malicious theme can get monotonous, but I liked that one ^~^

Because. That one wasn't actually intended for that specific purpose. I used it as another view on love, and something few others would think of.
Uniqueness I guess you could say.

i want to press my lips to yours and kiss i think you want that too your eyes your lips your eyes and lips the feeling of your hips against mine i know i like my body when it is with your body my body knows its words my mind forgets your breath puffs them away and i just want to press my lips to yours and kiss and feel your tongue with mine
-Forgive me- You see my calming blue eyes, but they are really iced over in pain. You hear my sweet laugh, but it is only my crying out in anguish. You smell the perfume on my hair, but its single purpose is to cover up death. You feel my silky soft hands, but they are truly calloused with unforgivable doings You taste my passionate kiss, but you must savor it, for it is the last. You know me no more, but what does it matter when I don't know myself. You don't understand how life is so harsh, but now you've read this I hope you will, and I hope you forgive me for leaving this world.
