William WJS Poems

How can something so real, so new, so right, be anything but?
When what has been waited on for so long
Yet once arrived has only been for such a short time
...

What does it mean when something we once loved is now something loathed
It is not easily dismissed, despite constant efforts to expel uncontrollable emotions,
Emotions not sought for but run from, looking back every step of the way.
...

It is something that cannot be attained possessively
Said to be concrete, yet it may become brittle and crack apart
So much is put into it but assurance is only in the mind of the beholder
It is fortress mutually established yet can easily be destroyed by one
...

Can it truly be defined as, 'Hope'
Can the word be used when there is doubt behind it
Even if it is subconscious, it brings false meaning to the thought.
...
