Wall of Stone

that wall of stone
is full of cracks
she chisels at it everyday
when breaking through
her smile comes back
allowing her a little stay.

a word or two
that's given her
brings to her face, a smile again
but truthfully, it never lasts
as behind her wall,
thoughts rise within.

thoughts of how
can life go on
with feeling lost and oh so cold
like that of stone, the chill is there
as time goes on,
as she grows old.

a wedding band, she takes it off
and leaves it often
by itself.
reminds her then, when viewing it
she feels the same
set back on shelf.

a year has passed
since feeling's lost
a newness edged her wall,
thus patched.
behind her now, she leans for strength
as hands surround
with fingers latched.

his body tight,
no space between
just beating hearts, their flutter felt
caressing he with whispered breaths
as bodies blend,
in each they melt.

the kisses deep
the air is thick
a shallowness, they sink into
a world of lust, desire craved
a heaviness,
a drenching due.

sliding down
releasing sighs
stretching out, upon the floor
in arms she's caught, her body held,
her mind is spent
from want of more.

come thoughts to each
of moments lost
and sultry eyes of hazel hue
what once had been, was here once more
repression gone
seduction new.

Now, on one hand, I might say I really enjoyed this, but I don't think that's the exact feel I got from this. See, I've been the man on the other side, weeping from "those" eyes wandering... and leaving. This really reminded me of that... and made me think... I love when something makes me think. Thank you for that.

I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
Are those who never have doubt.

I am glad you thought, Chris, but I wonder sometimes, how long does one wait...in silence...how long does one have to  be alone, while not alone...how long does one have to wait before they are no longer themselves but a spirit searching to "feel" again.

thank you
Maureen

Oh Maureen, this is beautiful. Imagery, words, thoughts. And I too ask, as you just said to Christopher, "how long does one have to be alone yet not alone" From this poem, It looks like you found your answer, and it has been good. I missed this poem before also, and I am so glad I saw it. It speaks volumes to me. Thanks.
Be happy.

Catalina..I can't really be happy..can only have momentary happiness now as I have an inner struggle going on and I am not sure who the winner will be...the old me wanting  what once was or the new me wanting it and more...thanks for always reading and replying
