Best Curtains Poems

first step in my final journey 
stairway to universal consciousness 
celestial light lures
wonder captivates

life’s silent movie 
images rerun, stimulating recollections
no loved ones left behind
faint glimpses ahead
cherished souls linger in paradise 
spirits wait for my entry 

Earthly orb below grows vague 
colors begin to darken 
even...

she half-heartedly stares
out the window, as if a mirror

the tree stands there
fragile and frail
uprooted, ready to snap
beneath the weight of winter
icicles hang like daggers to a heart

she sees no beauty in this
but she never liked her anyhow

she closes her eyes
and sees him there
as if an...

My heart is made of lace held fast by Holy fabric strings  
its red like a  pomegranate warm like my Father's love 
my heart is open like a rose in summer when it sings  
and when I meet a stranger,... it chances...

Po: Look at the billow of the sails,
      the sea, its black and blue hails.

Re: I’ve seen it before, even now and again.
      I miss the pines outside my window pane.

I . . . 
will draw back the curtains,
that hide what dwells beyond my sigh;
deep within where I keep the truth in,
                      for, past...

Curtains, at Grandma’s house,
hide the inner sanctum -
memories remodeled.
—Quote by Poet

I Recall Curtains

Loveliness is lace; I recall curtains.
Village without curtains; and lace.

One bow on a pine, lopsided star.
Intricate lace is snow white.

Many pines in the mountain skies,
the chimney and post office spire

pointing at the twinkling...

It's cold behind the curtains. 
The frost is settling in. 
The icicles hanging from the roofs
are drying in the wind. 
The Moon is getting colder
as day gives way to night; 
one owl's ruffled plumage:
a rest for lunar light. 
From chimneys rise the wintry scents
of burning...

Six months from now and it's curtains for me
I'll crash through the barrier of 80
I'll officially be old and crotchety and senile
Pablum after my morning pee

Oh for the days had no trouble getting dressed
Now I forget my darn Jockeys
Don't wanna share this bod with anyone...

transparency to shed a light on a subject with intentions 
with a certain level of unravelling the knowledge questioned 

It does not mean that it never existed to begin with 
searching issues we live to not fear...

Death hides in the curtains as it creeps upon you in the night.
May it find you at your strongest, as it always finds you at your weakest.
Let it come fast like a thief in the night, and let you be blessed. 
Death watches over you...

Open the curtains

  I opened the curtains this morning,
  And start a brand new day,
  Hope today will bring happiness for everyone,
  And joy will come our way.
  Spend time with loved ones,
  Create some happy memories that say,

Sister, don’t look out, the nights are drawing in, 
Keep your eyes from the bleeding light, 
The crushed body of the day. 

We should not, ever, look too long into the (dying) sun. 
Pull the curtains, feel the thick velvet, see the folds 
Fall heavily,...

Something's changed, I don't recall this door.
The mat that once read 'welcome'...now gone. 
Am I lost in the night, or had I forgotten some slight..
had my address been quelled by another time?

The new curtains in the bay window seem nice,
though..not the deep blue highlighted sash...
