Let my embattled heart take refuge within your fortress walls. Give it the chance to mellow in a slow healing process, shedding the insipid taste of bitter experiences, then, let it learn to love again. ---------------------------------

Definitely a heart needs to heal, a person needs to learn about them and make necessary adjustments to become all they can be before getting in a relationship. A person has to become the right person before looking for the right person. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

This beautiful poem portrays an enchanted cottage of love, Paul. A place where any world-weary soul would love to seek restful respite. Your pen paintings are a colorful collage of romantic images. Lovely write. Love and smiles always.

Your poem has shades of the King Ludwig's life when reading about his melancholia and his magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle. It is my idea of a fairy tale castle Paul. I adored everything about it, tucked away upon a Bavarian hilltop, it was simply breathtaking. Your poem though brief, leaves a lot of thought to ponder. Lovely! Connie

Paul Callus
Date: 2/1/2018 3:21:00 PM

Bavarian castles are beautiful, Connie! Thank you for your lovely feedback. Warm regards // paul
