WHISPERS INTO THE BRICK WALL
Who else will listen silently while I speak of my love for you
Who else will stand still while I whisper my secrets
Those deep, hidden secrets buried in my heart
Except this rough, brick wall
Standing so tough and so tall
While I whisper all I have to say;
Nobody would remain as stoic and immobile.
No, nobody could or would. I ,myself
Knowing myself so well, can hardly believe all
That I pour out into this ready wall’s ear
I , myself, can hardly listen to my own words
Speaking out my barely avowed hesitations
And uncommitted love's crimes; I , myself softly touch
This rugged wall and it’s surface
As though it is the skin of my loved one’s face.

So glad I found you via blog catalog. Love the juxtaposition of poetry with images. I'm a major francophile as well. Can you tell me where that photo was taken?
I post what I call "photo quote de jour" at my blog. Salut!
Thanks so much, Mayla. The place is called Senlis, about 70 kms from Paris.
Great picture and the beginning of the poem is especially powerful and moving!
