Behind This Wall Poem by Viola Grey

Behind This Wall

Rating: 4.4


Built there to protect...not to repel...
but why on earth would I let you
behind this wall.

The air is sweet with self secure
and honey drips from honest lips,
memories stored in dusty files
bear no weight upon these dreams.

So...why would I allow you to invade
what I'm sure you would crave
if I was to permit you
behind this wall.

superb lines, this surreal wall is our inner cloister where if not invaded security will foster

We each have our own 'protective wall'; solid and secure but penatrative if we let down our guard, especially when love invades ones space. Well done -A ten from me.

This has a fantastic rhythm to it, the structure sounds easy, and yet is not uniform. Love the flow. Well done.

To protect or to repel... either one is factual! But man has pride from which comes THIS WALL? High marks.
