glasswalls, Marriage
In honor of Tu B'Av
It’s not every day
That you get to share
Something so dear
With the person you care
About, more than anyone
else, The one that’s the one
that you’ve always known
as your own
To break through insecurity
Thick barriers of vanity
Insanity
We are Married after all
And that should conquer all
the world, Ours to share
Our love, Our Fear
So we can install
Reface our hearts wall
With a glass shell
Because those that dwell
Live in glass homes
Do not throw stones
And shatter their own
...........After all
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words
Spoken
And unspoken
...........Shatter all

David, I wish you only the most beautiful marriage ever... always. Sounds like you're not far from the mark already.
I can't imagine your marriage being anything but heavenly especially if you write her love letters....
Beautiful!
love letters, aaaahhhhh! i love anykind og love letters. I guess i am a real girl. So david, I am trying to undestand this poem,somehow i dont get the wholt thing. living in a glass home? throwing stones? sounds like you need insurance! lol
I wouldnt call this a love letter...
Its just a feeling I had..showing my wife my writings..revealing something which had been secret..
It's sort of like refacing your heart with glass walls..in other words..becoming transparent...and when you have those glass walls then you're extra careful not to throw stones...at each other..because in the process you'll be shattering your own glass home...(your heart)
Very nice. I especially like the ending - "but words spoken and unspoken shatter all."
thanks for the explaination. I didnt really get this to be a love letter, until i read the comments and everyone expressed it to be this.
I thought it was beautiful. I read it earlier and posted a comment, but it appears it didn't go through. Anyway, i was worried that there was some sadness in your marriage-- glad to hear there is not.
I think of all ways words can heal and can so easily hurt those we love-- even ones we never say. Sometimes silence is the most dangerous-- and so when I read it, I was concerned that you were expressing a hint of sadness.
I am so glad to hear the full story. When we show our work, it does make us vulnerable, but it is a beautiful gift.
