Daniel Turner Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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

Point of No Return

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

CayCay Godwin December 10, 2016 at 12:37 PM 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 Daniel Turner December 13, 2016 at 2:27 PM Thank you My dear friend:) You are a treasure.

John Hamilton December 9, 2016 at 11:17 AM 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.
