Let me remind you of the days now gone
And the mess you caused, all that was torn

The pieces and the unmatching threads
The anxiety that found refuge and was just a threat

Let me caution you of the days now to come
You better chew and swallow that...

How can I understand fear?
A definition? A description?
Evidence? Measurement?
Reason?

I don't understand. I can't

Fear is a rush of hormones
But I don't understand hormones

Fear is my blood. Pulsing my veins
But I can't understand pulse. Or veins
And I don't know what blood is
Yet

Fear is the dark. But I...

The entrance into your life
All innocent and without strife,

I’m good looking and clean
I welcome all, home without a scene,

I’m friendly and open to all,
From 2-4 legs, small to tall.

I get stepped on all over,
Without a complaint or bother.

As my role, I remain loyal,
And treat you...

The Revenge of a Doormat 

It is late at night happily not hot just like 
a friendly spring and I have forgotten to water my plant
…. I have in the yard a 23 year old Cacti, he is the boss 
and has assured them that...

misconception 
that i have managed 
to manipulate all of you 
to think i am the victim 

i have been victimized;

Forgotten trails which I follow

Only a feeling of lost sorrows

Other path has been long closed

The bloody gate leads to the road

Promises broken just as the chain

Reminding me all which made me insane

Instead of premiting a different path

Not for my good but for your own past

The...

i am a doormat
and you think nothing of me
i wipe off your dirt
but you wont know me
your hooves pound on my lip
and you don't take heed
i make it so you don't slip
but I'm nothing to this galloping steed

the hooves pounding
the dirt flying
landing on my face
burning...

THE DOORMAT
Closing its eyes 
The doormat sighs
A sad rough tired sigh that breaks my heart
It cannot move, for the wounds will ache
It cannot stretch,, for the joints are all worn.
A sad smile curls its lips
As it mind wanders back
To those days it was new 
And...

A Candid Doormat 

By Elton Camp 

Welcome mats are usually a lie
There’s another version I’d try
Rather than “Welcome,” It’d say
Simply and truthfully, “Go Away”

Especially those who “drop in”
Be they relative or “friend”
“I guess I should’ve called first”
“Yep,” under my breath, I cursed

“No, I’m real glad...

The welcome on my doormat has faded
And it is your shoes that have worn it
I think my door is locked forever
But I hold out for someone to break through my window
Using the front door is so overrated...

Heaven’s doormat scribes our birthnames,
woven from fine wicker,
oblivious to sins or fame;
holy entrance richer.

Designed to cleanse our feet,
past relatives we meet;
entering, angels greet.

Jesus will chat.
Heaven’s doormat.

There it is at the front door
just lying there on its own
but it could tell many a tale
with its memories, it has grown

The postman comes with the mail
so many messages to forth tell
whether it's wet, sunny, or bright
his finger even rings the bell

This mat picks...
