Guarded!

Photo by Caroline Knopf

Guarded she stands

Once an ardent lover

Her heart made of embellished gold

Body pure as peace of dove

Love breathed in the red of her body,

'In the soul of her being!

She dreamt, she acted

She touched, she kissed

She made love to love

But grief, a constant part of life

Just like waves to shore

'Lost all she had

Rather she thought she had

Gone was the one she believed

She understood a 'soulmate'

But above all

Lost was the capacity to love 

Today,

 Guarded she stands

By the very shore of life

No one can touch her

No one can break her

ANYMORE!
