Building a Wall

Happy
these lonely days
myself

I peer
into my past
and touch

Feel you
with memories
vivid

Clearly
as the sun sets
I rise

Lift up
my eyes hopeful
you’ve gone

Distance
between us now
your hate

Anger
your middle name
your sport

Playing
won some now lost
respect

Esteem
for your facebook
on line

Tracks a
private message
to fool

Stupid
building a wall
I’m blind.

A New form i'd like to call link, the last word of the 2/4/2 stanza has to relate in action or meaning to the first word of the next stanza

The new form "Link" is superb. It's found clearly in 2/4/2. But this poem is a sad poem, i smell here. Connecting the heart feelings with connecting words is done in genius ways. Lovely done, my lovely friend. Loved always,bl
