Tear Down The Walls.

There are precious few we meet

who tear our walls asunder.

They dissolve as dust

at the heat of a glance.

Sweeping away the facade 

of forlorn lovers...

Yet, it's no blunder.

And I wonder, I do.

You make me wonder...

though I said I was through.

Author's Note

You'd think I was anti-structure of any kind. I'm not, really. Too many walls, self-imposed and otherwise in our society.

Down with the walls! That's what I got from this piece. No? Well, whatever. This has to be good poetry, because every time they call something good poetry, I have very slight idea of what the piece is talking about. So, good job.

Absolutely, tear them down. I'm glad you thought it was good. Thank you, Michael, is it?

You are asking the wrong person. I am not a poet. I don't even know what I am doing here.

Depending on the pain left behind after someone has torn down the walls, your next structure could be so strong and impenetrable, that you could miss out on something so wonderful, so be sure to leave a window of opportunity x

Excellent insight. I wish I shared your optimism. Thank you, Fiona.

I really like the last two lines and how you turned a simple piece into sth meaningful.

[Diana]

Thank you so much.

Never say never. There is always one more person who is worth tearing down the walls. When the emotions are real, anything is possible. Good word choice and imagery here. Lydi**

Feelings from past relationships sometimes sneak in to present relationships reminding us of the mistakes we made so we won't repeat them...A wonderful poem...:).............

[Diana]

Past and present collide, relationships or otherwise. Thank you, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree ...You are welcome...:)..................

i am in a relationship like this now...maybe the walls are completely torn down, maybe not...there is a chance, but it has been too too long...and they are pretty solid.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, Jacob.
