This is one of my few poems so please be honest as to what you think about it...
It is supposed to describe the feelings of a lover (which is me) being seperated from his love.

the keep

All seemed so well until we part
but now I´m not so sure
no words from you as welcomed cure
for pains, inflicted on a longing heart

Doubts, like an invading army, storm
the battered walls of my loves keep
the fruits of sadness they´re here to reap
and unknown thought in my heads to form

Do you still think of me?
No! the chorus echos through the walls
(Another of my defenders falls)
Will we still be we?
No! the chorus echos through the halls
(They are in! I here the calls)
What will our future be?
None! the silent voices cry
(yet more of my heroes die)

for you it would be nought to expell these forces
few words by phone or letter brought
would still these painly nagging thought
would be the freeing army on white horses

so here I sit and wait for rescue
as all my walls are getting thinner
and I wonder who will be the winner
them or us and love so true
(which I deeply feel for you)

(for Britta)

Well Bjoern
If I would be the girl and you the guy
I would know what to do  
Your poem does bring across how your heart feels and I think it's fine
I like the (lines) better, but that's me
Well done in any case
I hope she will hear the chorus call
Throughout her heart throughout the hall



 The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

I thought your thoughts came across well! Though you need to check your spelling in some areas, which tend to throw the reader off. Other than that, well done!

When you can't make up your mind
Which way is right for you,
Stop and softly ask yourself,
What Would Jesus Do?

Well, thanks to all of you!
I really appreciate the feedback and support you´ve given me!
I really don´t know any other forum where people are _half_ as friendly and supporting as here...
As to my spelling: the problem is I´m no native speaker, so some wrongs seem alway to slip in. I´ve got a date with my dictionary again, it seems  )

Oh Bjorn I know what you mean.  I too feel these doubts talking to me.   I was talking to a friend yesterday and she was trying to tell me that another friend of hers liked me and I told her there are ways you can tell if someone likes you.  And of course one of these ways would be her picking up a phone and calling me.  I'm not sure if I'll call her though.
