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
