Inaudible words

Long forgotten.

Charging through

The barrier partition.

Able to speak

Without permission.

Alice’s Wonderland

Transformed the Earth,
but you,

You salvaged those

That fell into remains.

Built a fire in the

Darkest of hearts,
giving more oxygen

In which to breath.

Annihilating the wall of stone

That the weak built for protection.

Only to you,

Weakness did not exist

And you showed them

Ways to be strong.

In this and many

Other ways

You’re a guardian angel,

Sent to protect

Those seeking to harm themselves.

You gave me this inspiration.

Just a few simple words

And a spark became a flame.

That flame is rising,

And you gave me adequate poise

With “Do not surrender”.

You saved me,

From myself.

That's brilliant, I thought it flowed very nicely. I started out reading this, thinking it would be just a typical love poem, but I was quickly surprised. Good job. Try taking this concept in all sorts of directions; a story, an essay, etc.

I really enjoyed this! I thought that your uses of analogies were particularly good. I would definitely love to read more poems like this!
