Well then... Neither has a title as of yet, and neither of the two people who have read them has been able to tell what they were about... but I like them. Any comments are welcome.... although if they're of any deep nature, I'd prefer them to be emailed.

Poem#1

An impenetrable fortress
Falls
Leaving an idyllic world
In shambles
The city rebuilt
Will never be as strong
The new walls -
Needed to keep out
The savage unknown
And therefore
Hastily erected -
Are weaker
More easily breached
Eventually
That which is left
Is not worth
The energy of rebuilding
And a once respected citadel
Decays

Unless
The time is taken
To prevent new weakness
And old faults
Are corrected
And long-term growth
Is placed before
Short-term safety

But who has time
To bother with that?


Poem#2

Forgiveness and trust
Are entirely different things
Quintessentially Pandora
The untouchable is touched
Raving demons released
To the leer
Of the punishing world.
What's done is done.
Yes,
But can you
Will you forget?
Grasp for the one
Beam of hope
Did it fly away
With the rest?
Was it ever there at all?
The apple has browned
The shadows lengthen
Our appointment ends
Unless you call them back
Is it too late
For a simple apology?
