Fortress Poem by Valerie Dohren

Fortress

Rating: 5.0


No walls of stone were ever cast
Nor yet as such defined
To equal thus the fortress built
Where I be so confined

And ever shall this fortress hold
My soul within its keep
That none shall deem to touch or see
Whilst there it lingers deep

Enclosed within, this fragile heart
Then finds a refuge there
Away from all to trouble me
Hid low from worldly glare

Yet if true love these walls could shake
And tender words could raze
Then merrily I would rejoice
To welcome sweeter days

So ever shall I seek release
Through love`s redeeming grace -
This fortress then would, crumbling, fall
To show the sun`s bright face

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

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

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
