21. Walls
It’s cold and it’s dark,
In this place that I hide,
I’ve built up these walls,
I let no-one inside.
It’s cold and it’s dark,
In this place that I hide,
I’ve built up these walls,
I let no-one inside.
I appreciate the honesty and transparency of this important poem. It is very meaningful to me.

Famous Poem
Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink
Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain;
Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink
And rise and sink and rise and sink again;
Waiting for you to call...
Knowing that you won't...
Hoping for you to come by...
Waiting...
Famous Poem
You came again, but silence
Had fallen on your heart,
And in your eyes were visions
That held us still apart.
The moon is down
I lie alone
I have a vision about you
About your laughter
A very moving poem - I like the way you have used so many of the senses of sight, smell, etc. Best wishes, Ann.
Famous Poem

And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
