    Behind these walls

    Walls of a building, structure
    barrier, defense or division
    keeping something in or out
    a screen, monstrosity
    feature of varied size
    built for a reason
    perhaps something to hide
    or show off like shop or museum

    Behind these walls
    there is a person that dwells
    Within that person there are walls
    specifically built barriers, defences
    that hold things in or out
    guarding the heart mind and soul
    protecting deepest depths of the unknown
    Secrets and treasures precious and personal

    Maintain them well
    for once they come crumbling
    tumbling down
    Who knows what lurks within
    Nice or nasty
    yours to decide
    But do not trespass or pry
    for you may not like what it is you find

    "do not trespass or pry for you may not like what it is you find" —WOW!! This is so powerfully right. And we can apply this to OP as in: Stay of off my page if you don't like my poetry" I commend you for this power house of a poem. Bravo!!!

    Mmmm, thankyou... guess those walls all have their place, their time, their season and reason... The rest becomes history. Pleased you like, welcome to my world of diversity... your views and comments are appreciated...

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
