I, staid to write--
remiss,
of call of love...
I, stayed to fight--
amiss,
amid a wall, beloved.

I stand tall
with arms outstretched,
fingers curled
in desperate yearning...
Hard I fall,
arms at my side,
recoiled,
rejection burning.

In shadows,
there,
I spy my pride.
There within
wither I.

Inspite of its sadness this is a beautiful poem. I especially like the final stanza:

In shadows,
there,
I spy my pride.
There within
wither I.

they cant take our poetry...or pride
nor make us hide in the dark

This was very touching and beautiful "fingers curled in desperate yearning"... How powerful an image.
