Sandy Walls – A Poem by Kelly D. Tolman

Posted by admin on October 7, 2009

Sandy walls built high to protect
the onslaught of wrecked senses.
Psychotic waves restless in the night
Do little to help the granite shield.
Open the gate.  No!  The portal is shut.
Feelings lash out and are crushed
By iron whips of self consciousness.
Alone.
Not alone.  Not single, not complete.
The sandy walls wish to fall,
Threaten privacy, but are held.
Fear bars the way, cold impdiments
To continuity.
Alone.
Beaten down, the foundation
Lingers still to haunt the one
Who made them fall.  Dark rings to
Remind how much it hurt to be
Free.  But never escaped the
Chains of fear.  Walls do not hold him
Alone.
