Scaled.

 

 

 

Scaled.

Bulwarking loud message to keep out, thick walls
shout a menace of warning.
Herald of fear in days of yore a fortress brooked
no man-made breaching at all.

Yet defences of pride hold no less terror, erecting
exclusion with scorn or frown.
Frigid mindscapes built high maintain a distance
but scaled by love veil falls down.

Smiles smash with kind blows stone stronger than
steel by mildly chipping away.
When heart calls to heart no mighty rampart can 
stand in love's insistent way.

I love the composition, the flow and the fairy it carries along.
This is a beautiful poem, Fay.

Merci mon ami - -- good to see you too like the medieval -- I cannot resist its linguistic call to romantic dalliance and scribe it whenever I can. Thanks you muchly for your visit and read Nev.

[Neville]

You are most welcome Fay and truly...

[Chris Shaw]

Your wonderful lines have such a medieval feel to them Fay. I see castle walls never breached and a Knight endeavouring to conquer them in order to rescue fair maiden of his heart. Where love is concerned true love conquers all. Nothing will get in its way. Barriers will fall. Good morning to you.dear poet.

Ah - you saw it all well dear Chris and just as I hoped it would be seen - - right on the dot too re. love -- it certainly does conquer all. My sincere thank you for your time and effort at this lovely review.
