Rejection Poems
Skeletons on your closet
by Connor Mcleod
how many times has it been?
The cold dagger is still there
watching all that was unseen
hearing all the unspoken words
I call you, and you don't reply
I see you but you don't see me
I touch you but you don't react
I have become a memory, a ghost

How ya feel? (Sonnet #077)
by Darryl_M Unspecified
On broken pavements, I walk.
The unsounding sounded.
Unto you, I come, but pass by.
Further you go, then I turn back.
The sentimental upon my ears,
Just another memento of what I want,
You.
Is being lost in your absence, love too?
What about indecisiveness in your presence?

Love is but a game of two
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
Love is but a game of two,
I've noted with curiosity.
But who will pair me, who?
Who will choose someone like me?
It is a game, so they say,
It is a way it seems for all.
It is a game for two to play,
And if played well it will pay.

Fragment, a beautiful Fantasy
by Darryl_M Unspecified
Written on the pillars of my heart, is your love.
Written on the stems of my attention, is your beauty.
Written on the roots of my thoughts, is your picture.
Written on the seeds of my emotions, is your presence.
Seeds sown by the sower with a shovel of dote.
Cultivating the fields of my heart, with tender, love and care.
Draw nigh unto me, see our future noted in my eyes.
See the flowers of my faith blossom in your smile.
See the flames of my love make the sun dull.

Sonnet XX – Feelings
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
LONELINESS is a better friend,
It sticks with me every minute, every hour of the day.
SORROW a good friend too.
It visits me by night, it never forsakes its hour.
REJECTION touches my shoulder
Every time I meet a special person.
It is a better friend to comfort,
I feel its touch on my shoulder down my spine.
REGRET is my best friend. It shares my bed at night.
It is there holding our hands, me and SORROW.

Lachrymose 3: Lachrymal Ages
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
A heart like a tombstone stiff and dry,
A crow atop a willow calls thine name.
For thine pains and sufferings you stand and
cry...
Love and hate has been the same.
And life like death , and hope like fear:
Ages of lachrymose wilt define thine life.
Four seasons of suffering every year...
A tombstone engraved, a name of sin and

Qabuli Paloa
by Precious Whispers
Out of love and sometimes bleak
do they create me to existence.
Together with my colleague,
Who's lying there in a distance.
The ear-splitting sound of pottery
Cutlery all over the place.
And I – I was sat upon the corner.
So I wouldn’t escape, just in case.

Young Wm.
by Kevin Taylor
The point is, young Wm., you have no ticket
to the pantheon. Earned it? Yes. But in leaving,
left the scrip behind; compared yourself
to erstwhile selves, and having fallen thus,
go now unbidden. Whilst you, young Wm., hailed
