Best Doorway Poems

One day there was an accident, and to heavens gate I was called.
As an angel sat down beside me, upon the bed I had been put upon.
Such a shining warmth ensued as it held me in its thrall.
A thought from God proclaimed, “What with your life have you done?”
Then all of life fled past me,...

I was a sophisticated, world class traveler, like merry wind in green trees.
I had seen hottest deserts and rain forests, where songs will never cease.

I had traveled by planes and by trains, by luxury ship, fast car and camel;
And I had roamed mountains and valleys, like the comet, taking a gamble.

I had visited myriad cultured...

I arrived at heaven’s doorway and found my friend, Walter, sitting on the front steps.  Walter had passed years before me.  I was surprised to see him still waiting in front of heaven’s gate.  Walter was, without doubt, the nicest, humblest, most religious person I knew during my days on earth. ...

Doorway to dreams that decorate slumber,
Is entered by minds letting go.
Drifting through spaces and mythical places
Flirting with fear and incredible chases,
Down long empty hallways and up endless staircases
In search of the answers we know

Then flowers of fantasy brilliant and fair
Blow all their rare petals to dismal fields bare

Pull back from the snake whose bite isn't...

Not just what I expected but beyond
Scenery so appealing there’s no word to describe this
No such thing as uncomfortable or timid 
Only invitation, simplicity, liberation, amusement, the works!
Each breath makes me feel brand new
Each footstep encourages me to glide, skip and wiggle my toes even
Sounds blended hitting the ear with confidence
Perfection knows no sharps or...

As I leave this earthly realm
I travel high above the stars 
An unseen  celestial pilot at the helm
A vision of a mist from afar

In the clouds light years
from earth, I come upon a set of stairs
I ascend even higher than before
And finally the Pearly Gates!...Heaven's Door

The light I see is a pure, perfect light
I...

I was reading the paper... 
in the green room, 

you walked in the door, 
I didn't know you, yet, 
of you I wanted more... 

excited, elevated, sexual tension- 
this spark, this feeling, 
sent me reeling... 

uncompromising, release... 
nearly, thirty moons on, you still 
give me this charge-my sweet
tease... 

more experienced, this feeling 
lasts longer, stronger,...

Eyelids heavy with tears, 
begin to form
from puffy grayish/black clouds.

It moves cunning and swift
like a lion’s roar
then softly on tired- padded- paws
it is gone,
gracing the terrain 
with its magnificence.

Its door opens to a momentous
reception,
a welcoming grand appearance
of a new year
a new beginning 
when the door opens…

Death is just a Doorway

I see death as a doorway to a timeless place in space
Where souls have a chance to rest, away from the human race
Spirit will guide you there and make your resolve stronger
So when you choose to be reborn, you'll be wiser and live longer

To have faith in yourself is a lesson...

Heaven’s Doorway

Heaven’s Doorway is open wide
All are invited in.
There’s just one prerequisite—
To be free from the taint of sin.
God’s love and mercy
Provides the appropriate attire;
Your surrender is all you need;
The faith that leads you higher.

Heaven’s Doorway leads to happiness
And joy forever and a day.
With streets of gold and beauty rare,
Waiting for all in array.
The grass...

A light - beyond bright -
beckons me warmly
from a place beyond which I cannot yet see.
As I approach a stairway which glistens like gold,
all my former burdens and apprehensions melt away.
Body aches have vanished and I feel that I am floating toward the steps,
melting from a warmth,the intensity of which
can only be matched by the...

You do know how to whistle, don'tcha Steve?
You just pucker up and blow
And watch as her lips mimic the passion of a Siren's kiss.
You do know how to whistle, don'tcha Steve?
Just whistle to summon a Jezebel's gift of lustful bliss,
And send faint heart to places it always feared to go.
You do know how to whistle...

I have vanished into portals of eternal light.lifted by pulchritudinous beams of mighty wisdom.Granted a wind lifted seat,made with yellow light.A cloud lifted palace, crowned by benign angels.With aggressively shimmering chips of gems ,stuck submissively and obedient  to their wings.Angels blowing a charmed horn, summoning the unknown. Before me, a carpet made of water...

This long journey has lasted a lifetime.
And I’ve stopped many times on the way.
Taken detours I’m not very proud of.
Some that led me a little astray.

Now my travels have all been concluded.
I have finally reached the last door.
Will my spirit be cleansed as I enter?
Like the ocean waves clean up the shore.

There’s a peacefulness floating...
