personal poems

Surround your heart with steel bars and barbed wire;

And you shall not be pained with the proper attire.



But if you find true love and let it fade;

Sorrow will pain't it's shade.



Alineate your heart from all and it shall never break;

Let it love, but if it's lost it shall forever ache.



But keep the heart from finding love and lonesomeness prevails;

For if you close yourself to all your soul shall never sail.



Entomb your heart in the walls of stone and not let it be touched;

Then never have the feeling that we all long for so much.

This is seriously, by far, the greatest thing that you have ever written. Yes it is indeed an old sentiment, but you have written this with such and amazing ring of truth and good writting that this just may now be one of my favorite poems.
