You don’t know me anymore
And I have no spat with you.
What are these lies of the unwise
The truth you never knew.
I have no answers for your questions
Never the rightful thing to say.
If only you would hear me now
This is no game to play.
What are these words that fill my head
When you forget my name?
You think it doesn’t matter
And nothing is the same.
Remember back when no one knew
What you were inside.
Then I found you disassembled,
To me you did confide.
But sensitivity has grown
To be more than mal-adaptation.
The friend you wish you would have known
Stands in contemplation.
Walk your road in making judgments
As if you had the right.
Declare the bearer of obsessions
To cast away the fight.
Know this, I say it once,
No need for your retort.
As for where the ball stands
I believe it’s in your court.
And I have no spat with you.

Autumn for the Forest King
That special chill was on the air again. He felt it weave through his branches and rattle the leaves on his antlers.
The king of the forest opened his knothole eyes and looked around. In the distance he could see wood smoke rising from the chimneys of nearby villages. Crops were nearly ready for harvest. Soon the feasting would begin. The trees were still a vibrant green, but he could feel their anticipation. They were ready for the change, and the long sleep that would follow. All they were waiting for was his command.
He stood with a creaking of wood and a crunching of bark, shook the leaves from his antlers, and raised his

'gainst the willow.
‘gainst the willow.
Forlorn, I found her
Folded ‘gainst the willow
Unwarned, she met me
Resting on a moss pillow
My hands reached to take her
But my arms would not move
Of my own plans for capture
My conscience disapproved
So my eyes did the catching
And they caught her well
Broken, a fallen hatchling
For she, too, had fell
A burden shared ‘neath the boughs
Giving all that I could
An oath with no vows
She couldn’t, so for two, I stood

This is beautiful.
Love the rhyming and the flow.
Some parts are a bit too cryptic for me to understand, but I love that about it, I guess only you know and we will have to find our own interpretations.
Love your poetry, should change ur Devart profile from 'wannabe poet' to something that gives yourself some more credit.
