Part Four: Reflection
A libertine, a loving fiend. I was fooled. By you -
I was fooled and pooled together as only to be drowned
In my own naivety. To be hung and drawn. And to be quartered
Like you slaughter hours. To be shamed by my lame infatuation.
Mercy! Mercy on me and my soul and my heart. Mercy! Show it
To me as I would show it you. Let not you tangle with my heart
Like you tangle with Time, like a magician, like a cruel teacher ticking
Away minutes while I struggle with a test that is foreign.
My heart cries out, like it learnt from the child in your heart, though
It does not sing for hope and for love but sings for regret and desire.

Part Three: Rejection
Do as you undo me, like a letter, and strew my contents
Across the floor. You unfolded my heart before me
Leaving it crumpled in disgust when there you saw more
Than mere desire. Beheld you my love. Unrequited.
And hasty released yourself from me unto the darkness of
Your lonely garden, your canopy of singularity.
Thus trapping me in a cage of rejection with bars of grief
That block me spherical, round in a circle Like a Clock
Should you again, like the boy who cried wolf, cry to me
That you want love and all its glory. I shall with all strength
Not run to you like the gullible shepherd. For youve learnt me your

Thine iris does change from its placid steady brown
To glow a passionate green when thine eyes fill
With tears of anguish. Tears that wash upon my heart
And sombrely drown my soul in pity.
To see such an angel feel such torture.
Your face is like a poem of the great romantics,
As if written by Wordsworth, with flourishes of Byron.
Constructed with such care such dedication
As though your visage were a tender gift to a lover.
Your face is a kind favour from nature.

And read it back to you in poetic form. That you would

As I regard you. Absolutely. In all your splendour.
You hold yourself with the conviction of a timepiece
Reliable, undeniable in your style and conviction,
Your magnificence, your candour.
But a clock you are, with your careful timing. Your numerals.
And your hands. They have rusted firm over time
From the tears you have spilled upon them, the minutes youve lost
While counting away the days and the hours.
You shall not embrace the hand of a lover. You will not

Dance for days
To sounds of dreams.
Pride above pain
They pray in vain.
Music stops and truth appears,
Children hide from growing fears.
The world is no longer awake.
The sun is useless
Making unseen light
And children cope
By holding hope,
But the lose the fight
When no ones right.
When will the world awake?
Silence is nothing
When the world is asleep
And leaking seams
Spill broken dreams.
The only future hope to keep:
The children will no longer weep,
When the world one day awakes.
Amongst the simplest forms of life
complications can occur,
in a mind as blunt as a butter knife
troubles may chance to stir.
We think a trouble less troubling
Should it weigh on a mind so small.
Thinking seldom of their suffering
as we glance down from towering tall.
Wise as we think our western ways,
Fault finds us in this presumption.
Whilst others have observed better days
We thrive on our excess consumption.
Journey for the brave of heart by Silent-Martyr, literature
Literature
Journey for the brave of heart
Climb down the throat of the stormwater drain,
into the underground that light does not bless.
Feel the damp and cold of a place so lonely
while staring into the dark abyss of nothingness.
Recharter the route of a seldom-walked path,
Stumble and slide on the algae covered cement.
Take a moment to hear the distant trickle of water,
with eerie tones it sings a song to lament.
Reach a door who's lock is large and knocker absent,
Fumble in futile attempt to open it, as a person blind.
Thank who ever rules your faith you can't get in…
For a dangerous place are the depths of ones mind.

Literature
Silence isn't always golden
Words may ultimately mean nothing,
Though they mean even less unsaid.
You will fail to get a reaction,
Should your thoughts say in your head.
To keep our mouths shut in fear,
Leaves the best of us feeling weary.
An expression can be worth a fistful of words
But it has not an extensive vocabulary.
A silent man leaves little lasting impression
Apart from that of an aloof statue-like creature,
But one as reserved as this oft holds
More words than an ever fountaining preacher.
When it runs rampant like a plague
It leaves the world blasé and puzzled.
The children mimic as though it is a mighty feat,
Just to see their peers find humour in their movements.
When infected it inspires a guiltless madness
From which many broken hearts and treasures occur.
The fences that keep the world in peace are torn down
Setting free the wild children.
It eats away at their young minds like acid
Tainting their clean eyes with visions of a dirty world.
Chewing through boundaries to smear inhibitions
Opening the door to something more than childish danger.
Rewardingly it gives a false sense of esteem
And recalls it once the
Where do you look to find meaning in your actions?
Do you look to yourself for the decisions you made,
Or do you shift the blame your family, friends and bad connections?
There is no point laying blame if the anger and pain wont fade.
Do you ever turn to feel the sting of a knife in your back…
Just to realise that your friend was just returning the favour?
You find yourself all over the place, but really your lost and getting slack,
You know that you need to clean up your act, but not who'll be your saviour.
I watched you pack your bag and set out to sea without a life jacket in case.
Does your bag have everything you need in it? Doe

Unnecessary Risk
This show you promised them naively,
They won't leave without.
Your jeopardous high-wire feat,
Watched by faces filled with doubt.
They see you slowing cautiously,
Reading your blatant hesitation.
Behind your calm exterior there is:
Clearly, pure frustration.
Your hollow enthusiasm,
Muffled by unsupportive cries.
Turn your back to them once more,
Drying your not yet tainted eyes.
Line up for your daring act,
Neglecting the need for a saftey rope.
The crowd stares and gasps shamelessly,
With rapid fading hope.
You don your conceptual mask,
To show a previously lacking brave face.
Taking an uneasy step forward,
You don't car
Hey guys, if any of you are still checking you DA's i've broken from my tradition of pointless, unrefined and terribly formed poems and posted a NEW improved collection of four poems. The poems are a series of four based on love with inspiration of content stemming from Shakespeare's sonnet 116 and inspiration of constructs from Donne with my own personal opinions express. These poems aren't written as a personal statement and were submitted for my college assessment in the English Writing course. I gained better than expected marks so hopefully they arent complete rubbish. Judge for urself :) xx
