Encaged soul seeking to escape the worldly glare, yet longing for warmth of true love's sunshine. Beautifully written.
Absolute concept of a mysterious fortress that is more than image! Now begins Madam Valerie, your need for maintenances of it that cost a lot, I fear
I hope your fortress crumbles someday Valerie, but in the meantime, take solace within its immensity, and don't be afraid to have visitors :)
Flawless! Metaphorically personal and perfect! I have a hefty right kick! X x
So lovely poem, thus we can use this poem to break all fortress we found in our life..so inspiring! _Soul
A lovely poem as ever! ! One day the fortress shall surely crumble and fall and our souls shall witness greater radiance! A 10 for this excellent write! !
I love this, as usual. Mind you, if you keep your soul locked away, how will we all see the beauty therein?
Amazing flow and cadence, reading this out loud was like dripping the honey of a rainbow, your language was perfect and elegant. Sometimes people built fortress to protect themselves from the years of pain. But all walls must come down eventually. A delightful read
Exquisite! Beyond awesome! I'm intimately familiar with such walls.
A touching poem so tenderly rendered in lovely rhyming verse.Let the fortress fall and you face the brilliant sun.! !
An exquisite poem with a soothing affect, yet with a sad undertone. It’s only natural to allow a grieving process, and then go on with life to follow your own heart. Every good wish to you Val.
Poem full of hope, a wonderful read. I do hope you soon see the sun`s bright face.
I had a feeling this was gonna be a good poem..and surprise it was a great one.. oh and read some of mine : -P
Sounds magic! i can see you raise the wall and it is invisible for hearts to see inside but forbidden for souls come to visit of our road, the road of life destiny..but the hope, your waiting the wall to fall for another joy come to celebrate as united will be merrily celebrated in one symphony...so let the wall tumbling down when the pure souls come knocking! _Soul
To coin a phrase, Beautifully Written. It's amazing how we illustrate the heart so differently and yet they paint the very same picture! ! I love it, and Thank you! ! Rick Elpers
