The hardest wall I've ever climbed is the one I could not see Built there by the King of Hearts who loves unconditionally But all the same in Love's own game it's when the wall keeps blocking The very path to bring it down but alas! It keeps on mocking This pain is real and makes me look upon all the crude hard doubt Of love that comes and builds this wall then puts it's own love out. For love can hold on for a lifetime and never let you go But when you hide behind a wall then you really ...never know The beauty of a fuller heart is when it never yearns It doesn't recognize the pain until it starts to burn Freedom gives us every breath we take unconsciously Once the Wall has had it's way...it's more conditionally Then with the wall it hides away and dies with every beat Of a rhythm made... one of a kind... for you... in its defeat!
Susan, beautiful poetry. Love the flow of this. Walls are built for many reasons but the hardest to scale are those of the mind. I think we've always been a world of wall builders.
“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
