Love Restored

A response to Murph�s �Love Restored�. His words are in the black type and mine follow in grey�

I built a fortress

to shield my hopes

to protect my chivalrous dreams

 

I happened on a

towering wall

that reached so high it blocked the light

 

Yet this work of my hands

contained a slight breach

and was not as strong as it seemed

 

Rough and cold

I traced its face

my fingers found a tiny chink

 

For in the blink of an eye

and with quivering lips

my defenses were conquered for sure

 

I put my mouth

to that weak place

eyes closed I blew a breathy kiss

 

As my still beating heart

in a big puddle lay

on this day that love was restored

 

And with a sigh

and gentle tremor

that wall did crumble into dust

I love it April, such a will for love to overcome all. Thank you for sharing this, it is very good. You have a great ability to write on the same level of thought as Murphy and it is to be admired,,..
Nicely done.

Much love

I love it, the style, the back and forth stanzas, two perspectives and one reader, and the contrast of those perspectives was well constructed. Excellent!

Have a nice day!

Regaining his balance, he takes a humble bow, dusts himself off and says, "again... do it again!"
