 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?
