Poem
Matters not how much I may want to rescue you That closed steel door I cannot walk through Outside the door feet planted firmly on the ground Knocking every so gently trying not to pound But everytime my knuckles on the door they tap Stinging fire flies out and my face is slapped Through the pain I can hear your plaintiff calling For something to save you from further falling So to my purpose I try bravely to stay true Attempting to find a path to get through To figure out a way in which my spirit can fly Over walls of brick so tall they touch the sky A prisoner within chained by ego, pain and guilt There I can see the Fortress you've built Out of the windows fire of anger consumes Any real healing touch you continue to refuse Because the rescue does not come totally free Only you have the power to open the door and choose to believe "Can't and won't take the risk you say Of the sorrow you'd feel when it all blows away Denying that you must search deep down inside Beyond your walls and utterly foolish pride You can keep decorating the walls as long as you like And continue convincing yourself it's your lot in life And when the spirits that be send you a sign Crush it with cruelty and continue to resign To the anger that keeps reaching out with a fire that burns Against a true spirit whose soul only yearns For nothing more than to grant your wish Of inner peace and true love sealed with a kiss But all the angry fire steals my strength Taking my sensitive spirit to it's very length My failure then scars my heart truly bad That after the pain I become so very sad Once able to see through my heartfelt tears I know it so well and can feel all your fears If only my love spirit I wish for you to see How I offer all I have to you so humbly Because even after the faeries come carry me away The gift I give to you is to ease your dismay No intent to cause pain or wreak havoc in your heart Just only for you to escape the lonely part Simple and free with no evil involved "First" you say. "So many issues to resolve" The walls of brick you've built over time Seems like an eternity they would take to climb When all along if you so choose With a blink of an eye and not a moment to lose It's been a matter of your choice to reach beyond Those walls of protection to which you've grown so fond ........Cont'd in Part II
