Safe haven

This is one of my many poems i rarely share. enjoy. xoxo

Steadily I put it up, this formidable wall.

Brick by brick, I lay them,

Sealed with unswerving patience and promise.



Heaps of illusions. Then brine. More brine.

Desertion. Vexation...

Well-nigh did I lose myself in the lies,

The perfidies buried underneath ostensible affection.

Time elapses...



There’s a call to redeem my gravitas

And remould my purports

In my safe haven.

Many suns go down,

Many crescent moons turn full.

Yet here I am, mirthfully walled in.



My wall ---

High enough to shield me

From shallow travels

And their bathetic,

Wounding woes,

But low to permit

A love that’s built to last,

Find its way.
