Best Open Door Poems

Cleaning out my refrigerator, an ice cube slides to the floor
startling the cat, and interrupting a locomotive of thought
that often tracks me down in a beam of  light---
Today it streams through a  window, where everything seems marred,
by doubt, and dust, crusts of ice...

When Ravenous Wolf, Prowls At Our Home's Open Door

Of beauty, paintings,  flowers and smothering Art
Dares not the innocent truth- ever the race start
Or prisoner, trapped lamb- shear its own white fleece
By all the vanished gods, Death's hands embrace Greece
And dawn's beauty loses its most...

I used to have an open door,
but I can't find it anymore.
Someone closed it from inside,
where all the painful, bad things hide.
And I think I'm in here too,
a child that knows not what to do.

   Scared and lonely , so afraid,
peering through a...

Beyond The Open Door

She stretches her arms across your abyss,
so that she can covertly open your door.
She cries as she peeks into your eyes,
for you hold onto a grief that does not belong.
She promises to baptize you with positivity.
Sadly she cannot promise you wholeness.
Eternal bliss...

Christ Jesus our Savior is waiting for you.
His door stands open wide.
Won't you accept His invitation,
to come and walk inside.

It's sinner's like you and me,
He gave His life to save.
Not one of us is worthy,
but our sins were covered at His grave.

And don't think good...

You left an open door,
And a stranger wandered in;
She straightened out
The cluttered rooms
And mended broken things.

She wiped away the dust
And stains from many tears;
She brought flowers, soft music
And candles for light.

. . . And . . .

I closed the door.

The Dilettante Diaries: "Open Door Barefoot"



Open door to closed room
Ceiling smashed
Stars in a very clear sky
Fresh air 
taken into lungs
Risen
from 
the 
Lake of None

Arrival of White Doves

Broken glass, careful where you step

In the deepest, warmest part of my soul
there is a place for only you my love and
you are welcome to go.

Here in this space there is love for you
and a safe haven if ever feeling blue.
In darkness, I will shine my heart light 
upon you.

It’s quite funny what I feel inside at this very moment
You figured me out from the start, but I’m not torn apart
I see you smile that smile of content, as innocent as an infant
You have dug out the passion, plowing in my heart

I misplaced the...

There is a door that's always open
to all that come and knock.
The door to eternal life,
that Satan tries to block.

But who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
Not I! Not I! Not I!
Because we know how that story ends!
And there's no need to fear, my friends.

So...

My Grandmother would often tell me stories about the Lord when I was little
She would also tell me pray before you to too bed
But don’t let other people fool you and you become misled
My Grandmother told me the Lord is Almighty
Heaven is where he lives
It’s...

Take your soul through an open door
Follow yourself from evil
Now you see 
Freedom is your making
Let all be forsaken
Before you are taken
Walk a thousand steps 
Show several faces
Secrets kept secret
Desired from the admired
Love with artfull passion
Let your lover be the easel
Sketch the fire with lusting...
