The Wall

Bricks of pain and disappointment are glued together with thick layers of betrayal. Deep wounds heal over as an impenetrable scar. The impermeable plastic of recognizance dissolves every connection. A protective force field emanates beyond the fortified structure.

Where does beauty lie? How can passion take hold? There are no boundaries to abandonment or borders in vulnerability. Where there is no room for chaos, there is no place for freedom.

Harsh, hard, cold, unfeeling, these are not the man I know. Calm, caring, patient, compassionate, these decorate your soul. But there is distance beyond the surface. And a stone occupies the core. Not a rock, but a gem, shimmering and brilliant in the light.

I’m obsessed and addicted to the wonder that extends beyond my grasp. Bars of fear keep me contained. The past has dug a trench around my future. So I wait and watch helplessly as your sphere glides beyond mine, fading into the distance.

Is there really no hope for intimacy? Why would such a rare and precious possibility be discarded? Explore new realms of the unknown. Engage the livelihood of risk and danger. Enter the sweet seduction of blessed youth and fervent nature. Give me love. Give me loss. Give me life beyond the wall.
