Notes About The Poem

"Cinematic" . . .

Those Sacred Walls

Her smile; could break a man and his strength strip
Her laugh; creating within him such a broken storm
Her cruelty; as then quells, this ardour of courtship

Her laugh; creating within him such a broken storm
Her righteousness unbroken since her highest birth
Her unrequited love; in his heart could not as warm

Her righteousness unbroken since her highest birth
Her un-realistic values worn across her open breast
Her need; to express upon him, her own self-worth

Her un-realistic values worn across her open breast
Her blindness; that forever, she cannot stand alone
Her battles; to keep her fortitude, as will never rest

Her blindness; that forever, she cannot stand alone
Her quest; to find who can carry her, when she falls
Her rights; to find a man, who can retain his throne

Her quest; to find who can carry her, when she falls
Her deliberation; to then challenge all those before
Her trust; to let him break down those sacred walls
