The Unlocked Creaky Gate

The Unlocked Creaky Gate The giant iron gate creaked At the touch of my feverish hands. Without permission I unbolted the unlocked gate. Sweaty forehead, numb hands, Iced feet, my stomach tightened, The palpitation of the heart Grew loud and clear Like a death knell echoing. Strange isn't it? Dragging my frozen torso I walked on the grey cobbled pathway Quickly turning round the shroudy hedge way, Wondering what drew me here? Trespassing into unguarded private property Was not my forte. De routing beyond the boundary of time, Especially when I was hard pressed With the temporal affairs, Made me more nervy and jittery. Which lesson of life was ahead Before the daylight shut out of my eyes? An invisible hand held my pain awhile. The heart went back to its pocket, Calmness transcended over the nerves, The blood uncurled till the body warmed. In a flash, without the blink of an eye, Both hands lifted me off my herculean feet- Since when had I become so light?- Whispering,' I have your missing piece of heart'.
