Closed Doors

Thought is a disorder an inheritance from the pain that's gone before
Close the door to though and you will feel pain no more

The silence that I feel is above the conjured image and the self will
I have found peace and calm at last and the beauty and love I thought was lost

Hush now you memory that dares to break this bliss 
Like a snake it slithers in my mind with its ever present hiss

I disagree w/ rock man a lot of emotion is to wonder I think it's a style a vibration wich makes you wonder & that's why it's so powerful if it was written about the doors open its closed doore

I've mulled this poem over for some time. It's good and I liked it. Enough to give it some thought. So here's what I think. I know what you're saying. But I think you could have expanded on it a little more. Take it and run with it. When I write mine, I'll get a few lines and I may stare at it for a while or maybe for days. But when I think it's good I'll give it time to forment. And when I think it's ready, that's when I let others read. Thoughts are the best fodder for poetry. Rockman
