    Defeated



    Can it be...

    after all these wars
    and so many battles, lost and won 
    a time of peace
    has finally begun.

    My hands, calloused and empty
    my skin, worn and scarred
    my eyes, blind to beauty
    my heart, cold and hard.

    These walls built so high
    to repel all who try to seize
    yet here I am, defeated by her scent
    carried along by the gentle breeze.

    I like the cadence and the rhymes here, Artie. And as a love poem it has a tone of its own — unique flavor of walls and fortresses of defense that fall with sound of the trumpets. Jericho's got nothing on you; just don't step into the dead sea. :-) A poet friend// RH Peat

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
