I built Four walls <br />around my battered soul <br />To help my eternal bruises <br />fade away <br />Misery and anger <br />took their toll <br />And turned my views of love <br />from white to grey <br />But then I saw your blue eyes <br /> smile and dance <br />You lured my spirit <br />With your tender glance <br />I felt your warmth <br />Begin to melt my heart <br />As my defenses <br />swiftly fell apart <br />My solid walls <br />quickly began to fall <br />To open doors <br />with no more walls <br />I felt my eager soul <br />Flow into yours <br />As you pull me closer <br />I yearn for more <br />So now our new admiration <br />Blossoms more each day <br />And safely keeps <br />Old afflictions and fears at bay.<br /><br />Andra Wadas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-beginning-23/
