Like a fortress wall your face is before me
Battles from days past written on it to see
Your eyes like a breach behind the mask
But closed gates great me when I ask
Lightning cracks the sky
But still you stand, stoic and high
Silence like arrows rain down
Parlay is met with naught but a frown
Catapults, towers, ladders and more
Tears like oil in response do pour
Defenses are tight, inside you hide
Defeated before you, my hands are tied
Your hand around my throat like a demon's claw
Unable to conquer, inevitable I withdraw
Defeated, destroyed, humble I stand
The skies are dark, I hold out my hand

I certainly hope someone lets down the drawbridge for you soon.  This one sounds heartbreaking. Great imagery I loved this one.

Love, Light and Peace,

Sherry

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
