Marcolorenzo Ruggenti Poet Rhyme

THE LOCKED DOOR

The door was locked forever more
But somehow it found the key
Through evil lies and wickedness
It gained a forced unwanted entry

There I saw the face of Hell
Terrifying as it was
I gave a cry, I gave a yell
In its black and spectral buzz

And standing there from a poisoned well
Uttering sounds of foreign nonsense
In a tongue unknown like a deceiving spell
It moved close to the threshold of my innocence

For years I was haunted by this event
It did though seem forever away gone far 
So I became less vigilant
And in un-thinking left the door ajar

Then poisoned gas disguised as perfume
Came flowing in through the crack
A final blow to thoroughly consume
A soul and body in a newly planned attack


I shut the door in its face fast
Locked from the inside 
The memories passed through it cast
Into the fires of Hell with nowhere to hide 

And the noise of a troubled mind
Was dissolved into a new gained peace 
Like lotus flowers reflowering we find
On a Kashmir lake all joy and release
