The Keep

Slow upon the lazy waves
Within the currents wake
Until against the sharpened rocks
A hardened will shall break

Into the fleshy hands of fate
Delivered safe and warm
Trusting gesture's folly seen
Only with the storm

Isolated echos cry
Within the caverns deep
Imprisoned by the loneliness
The quiet of the keep

Walls of morter deep and wide
Forever built to last
Locked within the lessons learned
The secrets of the past

To never see again the sun
Eternal darkness falls
Upon a lonely little girl
Protected by those walls

I have no idea why, but I can't read your poem without thinking about Sting's "Fortress Around Your Heart":

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers and beams of yellow light
No flags of truce, no cries of pity
The siege guns had been pounding all through the night
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the field's I'd known
I recognized the walls that I once made
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

Then I went off to fight some battle
That I'd invented inside my head
Away so long for years and years
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead
While the armies are all sleeping
Beneath the tattered flag we'd made
I had to stop in my track for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

This prison has now become your home
A sentence you seem prepared to pay
It took a day to build the city
We walked through its streets in the afternoon
As I returned across the fields where I'd once played
I had to stop in my tracks for fear
Of walking on the mines I'd laid

And if I built this fortress around your heart
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire
Then let me build a bridge
For I cannot fill the chasm
And let me set the battlements on fire

I like the color and picture changes as well.
