POEMS
My Dearest Fear
My dearest Fear,
How is life treating you?
Are you fulfilled in all that you've done?
Some say the grass is greener
But yours appears cleaner
I'm torn between finger and thumb
Dare to be bold though the shoe won't fit
When's the last time you saw your kin?
Oh that mischievous grin
Why must you taunt Sin?
Don't you realise your battle is won?
​
My dearest Fear,
How is it we've come this far?
I cannot recall the first time we met
Were you conceived through dreams?
Where Time sowed her seed
Poor Mind still yet to forget
Or maybe we became acquainted at birth
Formed in the mother of wombs
For it is there we all loom
Over sweet Innocence's tomb
Most things claimed can never be kept
​
My dearest Fear,
I must tend to your brother
I must leave but I know you won't stray
Bring all the meat you can gather
For I've fallen ill from your manna
This glory is yours to tame
Untitled
Conviction stands fair in her ground
She commands her gaze, for she caught wind of your lust
A fatality like hers mustn't go unnoticed at all
A deep despise for those green eyes;
How they always seem to arrive tarnished and beauty-free
For commitment seemed to me, duty free
​
Some poor captive fastened to her watch
A mean smoulder tickles her fancies
But even idle fiends flirt with little intention
​
Gleeful are the ones who are fed
still prey feed
​
Frigid. Hung over last night's curse
Love only has room for the foolish
Solitary souls so the wise man must perish
A site indeed for those with sore eyes
To see one smitten as she lay down her unseen lie
