My Heart Is A Barrier Island

My heart is a barrier island
with bridges and inlets
keeping the world at bay. 

It's untarnished by hate,
wild with the overgrowth
of unchartered love. 

The ocean beats
against my shores,
beckoning for explorers
to come. 

No one does. 

I pull the bridges up
and withdraw
into the brambling forest
of loneliness.
