Skeletons and Lost Hearts

My door can't stay shut there's too much in the way... The Skeletons are many and some need to have their say.... You can cover a scar but the eyes know what's true... Friendly fire knocked down the good as lost hearts were few... Life takes a broom and sweeps away the mess... Where good and bad fight it out with no time for rest... The gates will open if your heart reads true... Or the handle will be pulled and down goes you...

Yes, the handle gets pulled down on those not true to us, Michael. I liked that message I got from your cool poem here! Great title.

This is amazing, Michael. Your first two lines are good opening while your second last, epic message.. Thanks for your offer, dear Michael. It reminds me of our collaborations; like we sat next to each other and wrote our hearts out. I'll wait for another chance. Huge hugs, dinda :)

Guess we all have some skeletons in our closets, Michael. Very intriguing analogies in the lines about the scar, friendly fire, and seeing life as a broom that sweeps away the mess. And how could anyone argue with the wisdom in the last two lines? Excellent write, my friend. Love and blessings to you, Carolyn
