Best Closed Door Poems

the door has been closed
it has been bolted and locked
don't try the window

my heart is secure
your words are no longer "keys"
soul sanctuary

image is tarnished
no longer will I welcome
a fallen hero

As yesterday's sun went down
I was uneasy, plenty of things are no longer around
Used to feel blessed, often my feet couldn't feel the ground
In that small shining space, joy and happiness were found

Thereafter, life goes on, I move though it's heavy
I keep glancing back, it's...

Even when you feel lost
  There is always a way
Of finding direction
  Somehow we tend to look
At a closed door
  As our last chance,

Wishful for it to open
  Meanwhile open doors 
Are begging for some attention

  Just a little nudge
That...

Adonis, ripe with pouty lip
And cold, reptilian eye;
Hot packaged for the latest trip;
Designed to fly--

What was  it you were  running from
That swiftly ran you down?
Dark forests of the night had come
Ablaze downtown.

A lizard on the smoldering rock
Had surfaced on the street. 
Was this...

Hoping if I return there will be an open home 
I don’t want to be alone
The shut door that locked me out
Do anyone have a key until I figure what this is about
I’m emotionally damaged like an original sin
Eliminating the silence so whose going to...

BEHIND THE CLOSED DOOR

Behind the closed door, a brew of brazen pain
Like a geyser gushes out, woe-filled teary rain
When in midst of all, pretense of happy smile
Though in heart flows, sorrow like the Nile
Of torture, of torment: tides secret sweep the brain
Disloyalty, Dreams demolished and...

The Closed Door


Shut the door
Locked it tight

Kept at bay
All that will ignite

The flame inside
Barely a flicker in sight

There is no silence 
Behind the door

For the voices of my thoughts
Are loud and worn

Too many voices yell at me
Telling me what should or shouldn’t be

Is there wisdom...

The curls in her hair reminds me of how the world spins.
I closed my door no other girl gets in....jus her lightskin with the hurricane thighs.
everything shut down when I look into her eyes.
the water runs deep as i climb into the peeks between her...

My sister would always wait until the time
lose concentration in the dead evening.
She would tell mother it was time for vigil.
Her racial church always has one every Friday. 
Mother won't complain cos she thought her
to be a good girl & we were the bad eggs....

Shut the door behind me
Shun out the chaotic world
My room is my savior
The only safe haven
Where I can be me

A colorful world surrounds my walls
Comforting me from the hatred outside
Blocking the chaos that slowly seeps through
Trying to get me to fall into despair

Music calms the...

Behind the door
Lies the balm
To my heart sore
That refuses to be calm

I stretch my arms
To fling it open
But the qualm
Forces my limbs to soften

 I squirm, I fret
The lack of steel  
Pushes me into
The cavern of regret

The forces opposite 
Squash my breath
I gasp like...

Time will fly by today like it did yesterday
Before you know it today will be yesterday
      Take advantage of today
   Tomorrow ain't nothing but a closed door....

Family.
What comes to mind when that word is said.
Fun reunions,
Caring relatives maybe?
Ha. Thats not what i see.
I see closed doors all around me
Asphxiating me,
Closing in on me, making themselves more apparent,
Laughing. 
I see backs turned toward us.
Closed doors... no help.
Family is such a big word....

I was standing in front 
Of a shut door
To afraid to reach out 
And open it 
My world was spinning
And my heart was pounding
The things that stood behind that  door
Were things that I was to 
Afraid to face
Now being asked to open the 
Door...
