Last night love came knocking at my door, <br />Naked, blind, seeking solace, catching me unaware, <br />Seeking to invade my empty shell. <br /> <br />So long had I been desolate, afraid, <br />I struggled in utter defiance to shut him out... <br />But he pushed, and shoved, against my shallow walls <br />In his unabashed, willful way <br />Until I cautiously let him in. <br /> <br />He built a fire and quelled my fear <br />Until my blood flowed fast and warm... <br />And soon I offered him willingly <br />The shelter for which he longed. <br /> <br />No vacancy sign now adorns these walls <br />Since I dared to answer true love's call <br />When he persistently knocked at my door <br />And stayed to live with me.<br /><br />A Poet Who Loves To Sing ....AlvesHolmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-heart-speaks-2/
