House At Dusk,1935, Edward Hopper
"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets." ~Old Rose, Titanic
I am a home with intricate carvings
inside are many rooms
and lovely windows to the outer walls.
I can see out to many different views,
yet onlookers can never see within my inner halls.
I stand strong on a foundation of love
that in devotion truly abides.
Yet I fall hard with an awkward grace
when I allow someone new to come inside.
I contain a menagerie of glass illusions
a collection of keep sakes of the unsaid.
For I am a fortress with many corridors
that few will ever truly tread.
