The Wall

The Wall

A Poem by Colleen C Dunphy
"

some how this makes me think of pyramus and thisbe even though its totally not the same..enjoy!

"

Very physical wall

Emotion leaking out of the cracks

Flowing over, under, in between

Standing as close to the wall as possible

Trying to find a weak spot

Basking in the flow of emotion

Listening at the cracks to glean information

Wanting to know what’s on the other side

Wanting to tear the wall down

Wanting to wrap myself in the emotion

Wanting to be physically close

Giving myself over to the wall.

Giving yourself over the wall? That's a little safe to do that, but never try to break down the wall, because it will scared the others, those who put up the walls, away and build up more walls. You just need to have the patience to wait until the others decide to take down the walls and let you in...

On the other hands, it's pretty short and simple, but got a whole lot of meanings to it, so it's all good tho...

When loved ones put up walls it's hard to climb over... very much loved the emotional outcry of this piece!!

Poignant and metaphorical in nature. It leaves each reader to ponder the true inner nature of the wall.
"Listening at the cracks to glean information," I love that one...
Short, sweet, and very poetic. Nicely done Colleen!

Pyramus and Thisbe - what a tragedy! And no, not quite the same but I see...
Wanting to wrap myself in the emotion...
Such an expressive way you have chosen to paint these words onto the paper. Nicely done.
