[hometext] => A bit of metaphor I would reckon, for the feeling of our hearts's beckon.
[bodytext] => Bricks and mortar painted over Iron gates and bars as far As the I and eye can see Stretching up, and to the sides The home we know is this A prison of substantial size How many souls are kept here? Thousands? Millions? Maybe billions? I sit on my cot, gazing at the walls Hoping my brain not rot, imminent decay In this, my captive hall My personal sentence amongst them all But through my walls I can see One other soul, bearing identical plight For days I watch her timid figure And empathize, no-sympathize, with her demeanor I notice her look my way I wish she could notice But still, how she stares These moments seem hopeful, inspirational I whisper "Quite lovely." I hear an answer whispered back "I couldn't agree more." Immediately I stand as she does the same Now it's become apparent For us, these walls are transparent! We have been watching one another Hopes disguised as hallucinations I walk towards the wall and I see her do the same The walls between us, parting way Every brick rolling, along a hinge Granting sight of the former fringe We quickly approach and share an embrace Look into the eyes of each other To find that for once, this place has to offer A sight of beauty, all worthwhile All pain, misery, isolation Now reimbursed By this incredible soul My newfound mirth These silent halls, with metal bars Had once kept us solitary But now we can escape together And live outside these walls [comments] => 1 [counter] => 111 [topic] => 2 [informant] => xHeathenx [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
