Optimism

5th Poem.
Exceptional Unshared Feeling

-x-


The walls of Troy hold fast,
Strong and secure.
The kings protection.
He feels safe without squatters.

A single soldier stands at the gate.
Rejection.

An offering must be made,
A plea.
Rejected.


A scheduled visit will be made,
Like the Trojan Horse - more of a trap.
The horse was taken in the castle walls,
Breaching the gates and to be contemplated.

Decision finalized-
The horse was burnt.
Rejected.

Trapped burning-
The Martyr never screamed.
He fell like the walls of Troy would,
Declining, dropping and desecrating his core.



A lamb walked straight into the wolves den.
The pack’s sub-conscious hunger took over-
A frenzy.

It was but Aphrodite’s plea to Apollo-
Holding onto the last strands;
Declining,
Pushing,,
Slipping,
Falling.

The walls were nothing more than his Achilles heel,
Rejected.
