This could possibly be lyrics to a song, but then again, I'm no Elton John:)

I swore that day, I'd never fall again With tears of heartbreak dripping from my chin A wall was built to keep intruders out To insulate my heart in times of doubt I thought the feeling died Felt nothing deep inside No one could hurt me, even if they tried Buried in my heart beneath the pain Beneath the bitterness, and loneliness, that remained Slept a feeling that was buried long ago Without the light of love for it to grow I took it back from her Forgot the way things were But when I saw your smile, I felt it stir The days went by, you put your smile on me You scaled the wall, just wouldn't let me be Then touched my heart with words tender and kind And soon I saw the beauty of your mind You came to me in dreams Convinced it was a scheme I tried to push you out of every scene But while my eyes were closed, I saw your face Two lovers in a passionate embrace That feeling left for dead grew like a fire My heart was racing, fueled by my desire Baby you make me burn My heart will never learn I've drifted past the point of no return Daniel Turner

You have captured all the fear and pain of loss in your beautifully expressed poem Daniel, but there is longing and hope too. Such passion cannot go unnoticed by the universe! Hugs, Sheila

Daniel - you have done it and done it in a WOW way. It is not easy to express the wall built or how someone 'scaled' it, not in the limits of a poem YET with emotional impact you not only revealed the wall and the would be intruder, but the surrender. This is touching, dramatic and each stanza moved my heart ... CayCay

Just a poem you say!! What a poem dear Sir!! Hopeless, don't think so, anyone who writes these words still has a chance for love. Hope it comes true for you. Looks like a winner to me! This is a masterpiece Daniel, an easy7 and a fave

It's all downhill from that point on and what a smooth ride it is. This was wonderful Daniel. This had a nice melodic flow and the message was perfect. Love will take us to that point and beyond.
