The Wall

The wall of the heart is high and wide,
not created for mortals to come inside.

For to reach me at all you must enter first by way
not of body but of mind. 
Those not willing are left behind.

Pleasures gained from flesh alone can't last
when met with a heart of stone.

So be tender
and look to the passion within, beyond the surface, beneath the skin.

Walls are only truly breached when when we stop to learn and wish to reach
the places in the heart that can only be touched by love.

So use the magic of the mind, relax, renew,create,unwind.

Reach out with wisdom and heartfelt need,
For genuine passion will only grow from gently planted seed.
