How terrible, the strength of love,
How piercing when it sours –
No wall, no maille, no cage, no glove
Can shield you from its power.
And when it plays it’s deadly art,
We feel it most within the heart.
Hi, Leanne – I hope you don’t mind that I wrote a poem based off of this one. It’s one of my favourites and I was really inspired by it. My adaptation is scheduled to be posted on my blog in a couple of hours, but if you’re not ok with that please let me know and I’ll be happy to take it down and post a different one.
She's in Prison 
How terrible, the strength of love,
How piercing when it sours –
No wall, no maille, no cage, no glove
Can shield you from its power.
And when it plays it’s deadly art,
We feel it most within the heart.
Poetic responses are my favorite! Thank you!
*bows* What can I say? Your words inspire me. I am so very lucky to have them to read!
