ONE
There is no room for words
where memory connects
No time for fleeting glints
I use silent consent.
Where truths are not said
but everything's known
hope cannot cut
this Gordian Knot.
TWO
The sadness in such bitter thoughts
that I, an enigma must speak
But what was not, cannot become
and this wounding is not unique.
Tracing the past, leads me here
let me bask in primordial sun,
Though a kiss may never reveal,
my heart has become undone.
In a list

I await Yemassee, the Great,
riding in triumphantly,
reflecting history or mythical tale,
whichever is more applicable,
and thus undoing the knot
whether by sword of fingering,
so he may be freed of melancholy
and go on to prophesized greatness.
But then, I see as an optimist!

I think the melancholy Mayne has just about worn-out his welcome. He doesn't need to untie the knot to be happy.

Well that is a comforting thought.
So, be happy!!!!

Ah, I see Alexander there...
'"Turn him to any cause of policy,
The Gordian Knot of it he will unloose,
Familiar as his garter"
Shakespeare
The second poem is my favourite though

You know my favorite is the third one...the "poor me" poem. lol

Look at you quoting Shakespeare!

Aye, a fine poem that speaks to me well, because we are all smaller and specks in the grand scheme of things. 
Our hearts are undone daily and patching and mending them is all we ever do. It is only our smiles that make us seem confident.

A serious side eh?
You have a great talent sir. I am glad to see you in a different light. As a matter of fact I'm not even going to post a joke or be a smart ass. How 'bout them apples?

Thank you. No joke? Ah shucks, I like jokes.

One: Resigned to reality but the knot can be sliced with the right knife rather than wasting time fiddling to find the ends.
Two: The last verse makes me think of "kissing the boo boo" for some reason. It doesn't actually heal the wound, it's still there and will most likely leave a scar of sorts but the kiss will take the sting of openness away. I know. I'm weird.

One: perfect
two: Who knows what I meant there, it was written in a moment of insanity.
