Best Closets Poems

I fear the closets fuzzy things
Unseen thoughts with distant stings
Dreams soft whispering breezes bring
To calm the demons to which I cling

For life has had its way with me
It taints the beauty that I see
With brushstrokes marred by visions lie
That wingless birds could learn to fly

I...

The walk-in closets were such a big hit,
They made this apartment, one she couldn’t resist
We moved in together on a New Year’s Eve
Christening each room, watching the old year leave

As the years passed by, the closets grew full
Dresses and skirts and sweaters of wool
Shoes and...

Sitting in the closet might protect you from a judging world,
but it also will prevent, from with truth your life to build;
Opening up that door might sever close, familiar ties
with people who say they love you, but only if you live within their lies.

Walls of...

There once was a little girl who played in walk in closets
She'd shut the door to the world outside because her mom
was neurotic and psychotic
And her step dad was a raging alcoholic
This tiny space was her safe haven for her imagination
to fly metaphorically 
See her...

I plead with you 
not to judge me 
by just meeting 
me one time.
I would not judge 
you but I would 
like to know you.
There are court
rooms for those
who need to be
judged for the
wrongs they did.
No one should
judge anyone due
to their past wrongs.
We all make...

Empty Closets
            by Odin Roark

How empty the content
Delusion's walk-in closet
Hideaway's glory
Filled to burst

Collected identities
Acquired by proxy
Guarded by duplicity's two-edge sword
Honed by loneliness

Obsessive darkness
Filled with fantasized self-esteem
Like titanium power clubs
Cradled in his and her golf...

Dark shadows drift against a wall
deep gloom penetrates the prisons of our souls
things that live from a darkened past
dominate lives that have surrendered with continually downcast eyes
keeping us locked in the closets of our lives.

Locked in a perpetual state of the past
prisoners of tear-stained days
and...

Sisters talk
Sisters bark
Sisters love to tell and nark
That is why god	
In all his grace
Gave brothers extra closet space...

As we focus shoot with our floppy lobes,
A gossamer film disguise the eardrums,
Echoes entertain all malicious probes,
Tidings beseech fortuitous pilgrims.

Jealousy encourage hostile intents, 
Embittered rivalry host the defied,
Chief points yield unfavorable segments,
Relentless attacks hearten the implied.

Siblings, friends one day, then foes being hexed,
Vices sprung snoops,...

Ragdoll in the Cupboard has invented a magic shoe.
It’s dancing, it is jazzy, it calls to me and you.
It is sassy and smart, it is wise beyond the moon.
Buying a pretty pair of these means you are no buffoon.

She is lavender, she is purple, she...

Summer dresses
Sunset smiles
Intertwined fingers
Infatuation by trial 

Giggling glances
Fidgeting hair
Anticipating lips
Confessions spared

Teenage tongues
Passion spry
Inviting innocence
Naive thighs

Misplaced moment
Serrated sigh
Ripped restraint
Something awry

Smothered trust
Eyes of escape
Groped distress
A cry of rape

Muffled scratches
Screaming tears
Convulsing portrait
Of frozen fear

Scared secrets
Trembling outside 
Closed closets
Daughters inside...
