Scaled.
Bulwarking dire message to keep out, thick walls
shout a menace of warning.
Herald of fear in days of yore a fortress brooked
no man-made breaching at all.
Yet defences of pride hold no less terror, erecting
exclusion with scorn or frown.
Fierce mindscapes built high maintain a distance
but scaled by love disdain falls down.
It will smash with kind blows stone stronger than
steel by mildly chipping away.
When heart calls to heart no mighty rampart can
stand in love's powerful way.

Very true Fay. It has gotten some in trouble, as History has shown. Great poem.
A fine write.
Love can scale to the highest height, overcome any barrier, physical or otherwise. Separated lovers will always find the way back together. And lovers can be made of the strangest pairs. Myths have been written, castles have fallen, wars have been fought over love torn apart. Some intense sentiment here, very skillfully worded, abundant meanings, and a message from the heart. Great write. Loved it. - Phil A.
Thanks Phil. for this valued and very perceptive comment. Yes love can do all you describe as it is the strongest of powers. Glad you enjoyed the read.
Pride never remains for long time. Sweet blows make stronger the wall of love and memories. Love scales brings memory ahead. An amazing poem is very well crafted and shared.
