the ancient fortress
surrendered to time and ruins
becomes just another 
wilderness landscape captured
by the photographer's lens.

Her heart a fortress
Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis
By roses and compliments
A thousand lovely sonnets
Wouldn’t make a difference

Premium Member Mighty Fortress

This brave
front door
mighty fortress
stands sentinel
keeping my secrets
"H A L T !"
It demands
"Who goes there?"
Its orders
obeyed

Forest Kingdom

My castle fortress
Amber’s sweet revelry
Revealing the price of freedom
How I long to be a kid again

trees sway to and fro
the woosh of seasonal change
brazen moods of fall

the chase is on as
falling leaves migrate to earth

we are a fortress without walls
worn stones of weather round
gates from hinge torn down
solders bend to love's resolve
we are a fortress without walls

Control

Show me what I don't know,
And I'll tell you I know it,
So don't blow it,
I find it,
And control it,
In the fortress,
I'm king,
A champion in the,
Ring.

Inspiration
is a fortress
within one to keep running
to the winners' circle
while in the jungle of doubt
to survive all difficulties
that have yet to come

Fortress of Sorrow

I am the architect of my own undoing, crafting a fortress of sorrow to guard against others' touch. It is a bittersweet dominion, the only realm I truly know.

Love this vast planet of forever being
Loosen the mortar in your fortress wall
Sense what all our eyes are clearly seeing
Into oneness let loose spirit stones fall

Premium Member Heart Prison

Unprison your heart
From invisible chains by
Opening the lock
That restrains and oppresses
You as an unseen fortress

quiet birch forest                                
endless fortress of white drifts 
fast fading sunlight
struggling fight through deep powder
snow erases existence

Stronger Me

Every stone that you throw at me
I shall pick and build a fortress tall and strong
and let my cat pee down on your head
as i watch you get drenched in the puddle.

Premium Member Fear him! - Mar 6

The foreign fiend, of feckless faith and folk, 
Is feigning fealty to our fair fortress;— 
To force his form and fold on finished fact, 
He’ll find fit fashion of fetid fetish.

Wondrous vessel of peace securing babes around caring fortress nurtured with love... I marveled at its beauty before beholding Mom's gracious face.

The owl gazed upon the forest
As though the whole world was his fortress.

Castle On a Hill

You’re such a wonder
   On a pillar, oh dear

      A mystical fortress
         On a nerved tallness

         An aptly axle
            For a longing soul

To Eden

To Eden
...men came.
With machines of fire
Roses of Desire did the same.
To Blacken the Sands for Years.
A fortress of Praise:
To quite a Rage in a garden of Eden
A Wasteland of Man.

Premium Member Thought of the day

we are afraid of vulnerability of innocence
so we set up an impregnable fortress
an opaque mind and clenched fist
but if we wish to see God face to face
we need to vaporise becoming a bliss mist
