What do you see
Look closer
Go from room to room
To;
The stone in the apple

Adventurous and imaginative
Into eternity or silent death
A landscape
A gentle and warm wind

Bright and sparkling
Dew in the sparkling morning sun
Virgin Mary's pearl necklace

Silence 
The orchestra's audience
Aplaus
Close your eyes

There is more
Eternal seekers
The boundless
The fate is...

Keyhole of Light
Dark and weathered you feel confused
I knock on your heart but you won't let me through
If privacy is granted you won't see the light
I can still see a keyhole don't give up the fight
It pains me to see you without a window of hope
I can't...

"Environmental suits all checked and rechecked.  The chamber is sealed."

"PROCEED!".

"We're losing barometric pressure!"

"COMPENSATE!"

          "Energy output is constant."

"The rift is stabilizing sir.  Air pressure is equivalent to about 15,000 feet altitude."

Premium Member Through the Keyhole
Deceit of sun when rays are still but porous;
unwelcome thief, afford my dream more seconds.
Some dappled shadows flit through mystic keyhole;
alight upon pellucid remnant image.
I stifle yawn as thoughts embrace the vision.

My ever-restless spirit merits story
which doesn’t evanesce at first obstacle
encountered when issues foisted upon...

Premium Member Like Smoke Through a Keyhole

Like Smoke Through a Keyhole


Live each day as though it might
be your last.
Savor each drink in lifes repast.

As our lives pass so quickly,
like smoke through a keyhole.
Love your God and all people.

Leave bitterness outside your
heart and gate.
What awaits you, is a shining fate.

Premium Member Peeping Through the Keyhole
He should not have
But he did
He tried not to
But he had to
No one was looking
He thought he’d not get caught
He peeked
He looked
He saw
He wished he hadn’t
He wished he could undo
Take it back
And unsee what he saw
No one saw him
But he saw him
He knows
And now he...

Premium Member Keyhole Dreams
Keyhole dreams floated out into the world
Butterfly wings, powdered sugar, dots of monarchs
Faerie magic might have brought this on
Even the fey were not certain how it happened

The world was unready, confused, consternated.
Keyhole sent out the colors orange yellow and pink.
Reminds me of the sixties, someone...

Premium Member Peeking Through the Keyhole
I started at an early age
Just six years old and I can’t sleep
I need to my boredom assuage
So through mommy’s keyhole I peep.

And what a glorious event
Dad and mom wrestling on the bed
Odd how mommy’s body is bent
And how they collapse like they’re dead.

Thus my...

Keyhole
People numb to the evils of this world
Happily accepting chaos as the norm
Like Zombies they wonder around 
Devouring what is good and honest
Replacing it with hatred and despair

We are in the labor pains of the end
 I feel the world pushing with every contraction
As the...

Through the Keyhole of Time
Through The Keyhole of Time

The houses were made of old timber, like a Russian village 
on the endless steppe - maybe I had Dr Zhivago on my mind. 
But where was Lara? I was in Russia once thought it sinister, 
roads without light and black...

An Eye Pricked Through the Keyhole
I fall asleep in the east and awake in the west hemisphere of my brain 
My daydreams follow the smoke of nightmares I arrest in my ghost train
At daybreak, I rise head beneath my bed to meet the monster’s eye 
Retreating into my tragic existence...

Just like her favorite character Alice she dresses up. Around her neck a key adorns.  On her way she goes. She has read of a keyhole that holds heaven on the other side of its door. A young girl named Cassy sits curiously by...

She, there drawn, but not for sleep
          Daubed in guile, the heartless weep
               Cold, the secrets sheets thus keep

Peeking through the hotel keyhole
I start seething, I begin to see red
There’s a strange man taking MY role
I can see them both romping in bed

I decide I must act really speedily
Don’t have a moment to spare
Activating my plastic room key
I see his white bottom, it’s...

The Girl, - Looking Into the Bedroom's Keyhole
The girl, - looking into the bedroom's keyhole,
In silence whispered: " At last - I have it!
And by these people I constantly was told,
That fingers sucking- is bad habit"!...
