Writings

Unopened Soul

One door closes

Another opens

An opportunity awaits

A chance


But the doors are closed

Locked

Unable to enter

Sealed


A hallway dimly lit

Silence furnishing the empty halls

No opportunity

No chance


Heartbreak insues

Alone with thoughts

I find myself

Again and again

Stuck


Helpless in the eyes of the world

A chance let lost

A hope let go

Gone


One door closes

Yet no doors remain

No opportunity ...

The Hand That Holds The Knob

Not my best work, but I think it gets the point across. Lol.


There are unseen thresholds in our way,

Doors that open, doors that sway.

Some close so hard they shake the floor,

And leave us pounding on the door.


We bang with fists until they bleed,

Convinced that crossing is what we need.

But God sees more than we can know —

He shuts some doors to help us grow.


We may feel anger, a sense of los...

There’s infinite worlds in this world of wonders,

In these wonder of worlds there are doors within doors,

Behind these doors are more to explore,

There’s a door in our heart that can pull us together or tear us apart,

Sometimes it gently opens other times it’s tightly shut,

Some are open yet others are locked,

Whichever we choose leads to the land of naught,

Spiraling out of control, lost in our t...

Doors

Paving the way to success

they told me

Opening doors

they said


A tidal wave of luck

a presnt for them not me

Tricked and manipulated

dirty work for thee


They granted opportunities

and gave me many options

but nothing was worth it

Under that indoctrination


Feeding me lies

hooked up to dishonesty

doors open in front of me

Close them

please close them


I dont want your attention

I dong wan...

Crashing Cars & Picking Locks

_(A bit of a brain dump idk)_

~~~


Door lock

Clicks shut,

Kids crack

Clavicles.

Ribcage crunching,

Fractured knuckles.


Clip clop,

Horseshoe,

Tail in the door, you

Lick lips,

Blacksmith,

Sugar cubes.


Fer the ribbon,

Fer the winnin',

Yer a good

Little boy.

Pretty beggar

Fer the sugar

And the toys

(Fer enjoy-

Ment)


Batter down the

Wall

When the door's unlocked,

Kids crack,

Bones snap

On the chop...

Behind Your DooršŸšŖā¤ļø

A closed door could mean

A sweet girl closing her eyes

As the stars begin to twinkle up high


A closed door could mean

A furry little puppy who is locked up

And dreams of running in a grassy field


An opened door could mean

A wallet has been stolen

Or that a lie has been told


An opened door could mean

The ribbon has been cut

Or that the rain has brought rainbows


Maybe your door will be closed

Or...

Doors

When the door opens

A light begins to come in

When a door closes

Starts to unravel within

So much till the air becomes wet and moist

Not leaving room for opportunity or a shelter choice

Given the circumstances at hand

Can release shocks like a volcano eruption which means any means necessary

Above every waking price

When walking through every door twice

At first, it can seem nice

Or maybe...

A Door To Where

Any open door may lead to a love, a disaster, or fantastic exploration.


A closed door may lead to a conflict, security, loneliness, boredom, or

protection.


A locked door may lead to change, defeat, destiny, opportunity, or

resignation.


A broken door may lead to strength, perseverance, an achievement, or

determination.


A door with a window may show a peek into the future, the dark, or

contempla...

Doors

Someday a door may close,

I mean, angrily slam in your face, close

Your nose will feel that itch, expectant of pain

Your body tensing,

Your eyes squinting shut,

Bracing.


Here the doors have no names,

The paths laid out before you have no way,

Sprawling this way, that-a-way, every which way,

The halls of eternity remain the same,

But once you move forward you can never return.


Endless slamming,...

Porte

When one door closes, another opens.

Yet I am trapped in these four walls.

For me, one has closed and has stayed so,

No escape from ceiling to floor.

Just me as it always has been.

If I close my eyes and think hard enough,

I imagine I have keys to a door

right in front of me.

I reach into my pocket pushing aside gum and other miscellaneous items,

and reach for the heavy brass key that I know fit...
