There you are,
Fortifying your defense mechanism.
Collecting colors through your defences.
Looking through your glass prism.
Filtering shades to hide
yourself in it.
To call it your own,
So you can hide,
Behind the outward illusion you made.
Alone.
So you can hide,
To make me see:
You're off alone.
You dont need me.
There you are.
Rebuilding you defense mechanism.
Destroyed by my friendly overtures.
Collecting bricks from our stoned heart.
Flaming through your brick-kiln.
Casting a roof to hide
yourself under it.
To call it your own,
So you can hide,
Behind the walls you made to stand.
Fully defended.
So you can hide,
To make me see:
You're off alone without me.
You're staying away from me.
But there's nothing I can do
To keep myself from you.

Yikes, there's like million poems here I haven't read :O
Don't worry I've now read them all, and loved every single one of them :)
You're getting better and better at this.
Don't you ever again tell me that this stuff here is crap! :)
Okay, okay, calm down , jussi... i'll try to stop myself.. :P
Thank you for your comments. :) I really appreciate it.
So I didnt already tell you why I loved this one so much?
Okay... One answer would be that I see myself in some parts of it. Many of the parts in fact...
But that's not the real answer. The true reason to why I adore the piece is that you have this amazing way to describe. Like in this one you describe the character, build it as the poem goes on, using different techniques so the reader can actually see the character in their minds. And like in most of your poems the ending lifts the whole thing up to another level.
You're a professional. I look up to you.
