Best Ajar Poems

even soft footsteps 
leave an imprint behind
this door, 		ajar
                  with a shadow I once knew
             ...

A heart ajar
a dream half seen
in a chest
whose lid was 
quickly fastened. 

A heart ajar
a smile half 
delineated 
upon a flake 
of snow
which in 
no time melts.

A heart ajar
a long beautiful sentence
whose verb 
never dared 
to come out 
in the light.

A heart ajar
a poem half...

I’m dancing without a care in the dark of night
I need a shoulder to lie on and I need support as I fight the good fight
Your goodbyes were reduced to lies
Your farewells were wicked lullabies
I can rise above this pain in my heart

I’m falling apart...

leave the door ajar
 to let the wind sing softly
 to renewed spirit

Someone recently said something about,
"the door is ajar"
I scratched my head and challenged him,
" A door is a door, and a jar is a jar...
Where'd you go to school?
How'd you get as dumb as you are?"

He started to argue,
But I'm too clever for that,
Next he'll...

How long ago did she lose her tears
honest tears of sadness or joy
a trusting heart lost for years
pretend emotions now her decoy
weeping heart captive and barred
concealed essence slowly clears
bound emotions begin to shard
now feeling her inner guide
showing her she should not fear
her trusting heart will...

Babies are droolers
Teachers are schoolers
Pitchers are foolers
Lawyers are duelers
Fishermen are spoolers
Faceters are jewelers
Needlers are crewelers
Kids are stoolers
Men are toolers
Women are rulers...

Doors are used to come and go,
To lock out and lock in
Doors are not very welcoming.

Doors ajar disquieting
Half-hearted gap foreboding
Door neither open nor shut is worrying

Do your doors ajar become you?
What do your doors say about you?
Do you care? Others do?

Because doors separate humans from...

AXED AJAR

when the sky comes down
where will your peace be
when the ground trembles
will you stand beside me

pause with bated breath
calm before the storm
we’ve  been waiting for
blood red days at dawn

 as mortal battle starts
in hearts of darkness
where war fires flare
amidst arid starkness

without grim warning

I hate to keep the windows closed
No matter what the weather,
‘Cause fresh air’s a connection
To the outside, like a tether.

Apartment living has its flaws,
The lack of space most glaring,
But also, there’s no exit out
To see how things are faring.

Except the windows, which, to me,
Must always...

I went to my son’s open house last night
Hand in hand to meet my ex, his mother
His classroom was adorned with delight
Doting parents greeted each other 
I held on to my son clinging with fright

I listened to his poetry so purely innocent
He wrote of birds,...

B-eware of the devil, 
E-very door must be closed; 
L-ike a roaring lion he roams, looking for prey he likes most. 

P-adlock the main opening 
O-f your mind and your heart; 
N-ever let the evil enter 
T-o tear your soul apart. 
E-very hour you must...

We're mannequins peering from a storage
bin. We slouch across from
the "No-Food" paper sign.
Its message sags to a pulp taped to the shoulders
of a glass door. Shoppers,
incoming, their shared orange

squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial
grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'.

Crowdsourcing emboldens shame, our French kisses hung
on...

Gently now, my sweet
tell me the secrets you keep.

What fashions the mystery you are?
Whisper it, Love, with mind ajar.

Whence cometh your charm abundant?   
I praise it such I’m often redundant.

What put goodness in every pore?
I partake of it, wanting ever more.

What gives rise...
