Bricks of Protection

Bricks of Protection

A Poem by Poetic Beauty

The past nears; closing in
Squeezing too tight
Breathing strangled

With military stealth
It creeps silently
Closing off oxygen

Brick by brick
A wall forms
Brick by brick
It does protect

Dreams form within
Surrounding time
Consuming deep thoughts

Images begin connecting
Creating fictional desires
Consuming what is real

Brick by brick
A wall forms
Brick by brick
It does protect

Reality hits hard
Limits jelled in place
With unmovable stone

It's not happening again
Not this time around
Keeping the heart safe

Brick by brick
A wall forms
Brick by brick
It does protect

Gee
We put up barriers, consciously or not, fir many a reason, but the main is to protect a once damaged heart.
Touch wood, I have had the great fortune of a soul mate for the last 26 years, and have a beautifully simple life.
I enjoyed the read.

Life is complicated and sometimes there are boundaries that have to be built
Brick by brick... That's right, we get tougher and tougher. I struggled with the past for a long time, but I have my bricks of protection up to push away any negative emotions attached to anything... Great poem, thank you for sharing!
