Like I said before, this is the new repository for my poetry. Nobody who I know knew about my old poetry site, so I feel a little weird sharing this with people I know.... but for the time being, I don't know where else to put these.

can wisdom be lost after it was gained
once learned, do we grow or totally change
our thinking, "futile", she calls from the gate
love unrequited, we thoughtlessly hate

to hate or fear not, behavior alike
behavior forgotten; moment's respite
the heart or the rule, deciding what's right
to choose between is to choose by our might

would wisdom have known if wisdom had more
could we change our clothing and affect our core
were it a mistake, or revelator
of plans we don't know, nor can put to word

had we not done wrong, forgotten by name
perception estranged, of us not the same
for wisdom we lacked, for wisdom remained
but stayed we without, more wisdom we gained

I think a poem should have a name. (There are too many poets out there titling their poems "unnamed #1", etc.) Maybe this one can be called....

"Wisdom Learned"
