Upper Room

I built a moat around myself

so that you can't take me by surprise

if you turn up I have time to prepare

for  battle or to escape

If you try to swim across beware

of the crocs for they protect me 

jealously and if you don't 'smell' right

they will know before I do

the draw bridge will not crush you

unless it detects a sinister intent

so you better be bold or plain genuine

if you do make it to the door

..... then the rest is up to me

please don't expect too much

too soon though

as my generous heart is cautious

and can take no more chances

it now knows it is worthy of nothing

but all things rich and pure

and I guard it ferociously so 

please only apply within

my meekness is my strength

another sacrifice to great end

I honour me and I honour you in saying so

for I am the richest woman you will ever know

with more than any pretentious dollar value

I afford myself the luxury of careful selection

never again throwing my pearls to swine

Love is not love unless it is reflected back

shared and added to

so I will never accept anything 

that does not want to be given

I establish a foundation
so unshakable 

that it can handle the storms

~Ange x

as easily as the raucous parties of life

I pray the storms are few

and the parties are numerous

reckless abandon can only be fully 

enjoyed if properly accommodated

for you will be my home

just as I your shelter

and so, I suppose, it does just come down to this.....the simplest desire to ROCK the planet in connection with another....maybe I am human after all dear friends! ;)   No comments please! xoxoxo
