Walls.
Bulwarking their message to keep out, or in, wall
shouts it's menace to wall.
Herald of fear in days of yore a fortress brooked
no real breaching at all.
Yet defences of mind hold no less terror erecting
exclusion with look or frown.
Pride's ramparts built high maintain separation
but scaled by love they fall down.
Smashed with tender blows walls stronger than
steel fall to care's rearrangement.
When the heart calls no granite parapet is ever
able to stand in love's way.

A fine write Fay.
Thank you Orchi.
I have a wall enclosed garden so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Fine write Fay.
Yes walls have to be viewed with caution my friend - - thanks so much for your read and comment.
Wow ends in a sensational way. Love knows no bars eh. An awesome poem in superb wording, rhyming and content altogether. Kudos.
Soo nice to read from your ink again, Pleez do review my newest poem too.
Thank you for your visit and kind comments on my effort to deal with the aspect of walls. Love indeed knows no bars and will bring down all kinds of barriers.
Thanks FAY ~ In history WALLS ~ Like the Walls of JERICHO and more recently BERLIN crumbled & fell at the onslaught of TRUTH & LOVE ! So it will ever be. TRUMP will see that AMERICA has more need for MEXICAN migrant workers ~ than MEXICO has for the USA. The WALL like a lot of other things ~ Trump trumpets ~ will never happen ! Yours BRIAN 😎and ANGELA 🧡
Good that you saw the deeper aspects of walls through the ages in this verse of lament for walls in the first place - thanks dear Brian for your continued support of my poetic efforts.
So very true, the heart can break through all walls.
Yes indeed Goldi - the power of the heart is amazingly strong and can bring down all sorts of walls given time.
