Cellar Door

Cellar Door The word cellar door, may paint a cold, dark image, But the two words together, are simply magnificent. They roll off the tongue, like a red silk carpet And when you find something so beautiful, You should not forget it. For cellar door, I simply adore, For it's a connection of words, that are simply beautiful. Two words together, that when spelt right have a meaning, But when they are separated and you see them differently. You are able to see, why they contradict each other; For cell keeps us trapped, we can't run free from this evil. But to adore is to love, the purest of feelings; The thing that can't be beaten, with an English Dictionary, Or a thoughtless, harsh word, from a fool in the audience, Who will never see or hold such beauty, For they truly are ignorant. These thoughts are my own; But I was inspired to write this poem. If you missed Donnie Darko And don't know where I got this inspiration, A teacher with passion, spoke the words cellar door And explained they were her, two favorite words of all. So remember cellar door, for it simply means love; Don't let them lock away your feelings, behind a cell door And keep them buried, so no one can see your love show. Don't hide from your feelings, for it will serve you no good. Will you choose to be trapped inside your cell? Or applaud me, for I saw what is plain to see And I am willing to tell. Cellar door sounds fantastic and when it is spoken by a lover, You shall see its true meaning, simply means I love you forever. Together we are happily trapped, in this notion called love, But we are free to be free, For we have the key to this cellar door. (C)2013 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
