Mira Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 I was safe in my stronghold. Alone, But the world could do me no harm. My poems formed an armor That turned every razor keen blade. But you, You found my trap doors, My secret entrances. With your love, And your word You penetrated my walls To enter my Fortress of Solitude, And lead me back Into the radiant light of day.
Salinye Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Mira, you know I'm already a fan, but I especially love this poem. I love your use of italics, it makes the entire thing softer, adds a touch of elegance. I love the imagery of your poems being your armor. This entire poem has a very sweet touch to it. The thing I like is that although it could be a romantic poem, it also could be about someone who isn't a romantic relation, yet touched your life with their special friendship and love. Thanks for sharing. ~Salinye
