Best Out Of Doors Poems

There are so many doors
Which ones should I choose
Green, yellow, brown, purple
and many different blues

Some of them are rustic
Others modern and clean
Some lead to the future
others back where I've been

Some doors open easily
while quite a few are locked
There are some left open
and others that are...

Nobody knows what goes on behind this hotel door
‘Mr Smith’ isn’t with his wife of that I’m pretty sure!
He’s with his mistress Sue, they are having an affair
But he is a cheating love rat and he doesn’t really care

A barrage of fists is flying at...

‘Enter and explore’ read the sign above Blake’s Hall.    
Sliding open the French doors I stepped inside
where I was greeted by a row of coloured doors.

Intrigued, I approached a green door, rested my hand
on the knob and turned it slowly. Peeping in...

I see three doors before me.
The one to the left is blue, a beautiful lupis blue
with ornate lacework in its center.
Parisian-esque, it looks likes an entrance to adventure
and inspires me with its sophistication.
I imagine inside the rooms beyond that door
exotic curios on shelves along the...

Cracked Doors


It offered solace
an escape from life’s torment,
false comfort – oblivion’s
denial of the truth,
the lie of living’s afterlife.

Trembling hands reached out
in search of hope’s lost promise,
a door ajar,  a welcome,
open invitation
to shed death’s robe, to live again.

Closed doors 
Especially if they are bolted shut

Why refuse to move on?
Why do you keep knocking at that particular door?

As if your very next breath depended 
On someone answering
On someone opening 

It is closed for a reason 
Maybe your destiny is not behind that door 

Stop knocking 
Stop forcing your way in 
Change...

Clumsily tripping, over our own feet
Sometimes, minds aren't meant to meet
perhaps we're off just a micro beat
thoughts obscured, behind glass covered in sleet

Sure there are those, who wish to exploit
but really in the end, what's the point?
We're all merely visitors, in this joint
Trying our best,...

Her wedding day was beautiful, when she wed her beau,
Innocent and trusting, so little did she know
About the man who had stolen away her tender heart
And now wed to him she was, 'til death do they part.

The best wife she could be was her innermost...

You slowly open the door
...."These doors"....
And what is behind them
Quickly leaps out
Trying to take hold
An invitation
Toward the unknown....
The battle begins
Begins, for it's control!
Pandoras box
The forbidden fruit
When will you learn?
When will you know?
How many times
Must you fall?
How many tears
For them all?
A lifetime of lessons
A lifetime of...

When you were way too young 
How the hell were you to know
Their secrets and sins would hurt your world
No chance for you to grow
Only tears for you to show
Your Behind Closed Doors......

And in my dream I walk corridors with old creaking floors,
deep in the sanctum of my soul echoes stir calling me to come;
soon, I enter a hall of doors, doors and doors . . . 
red doors painted bright, green doors with polished knobs.

Blue, deeply...

Drops of hues on dews
Your vibrant doors are in bloom
Gone is all my gloom

######

It’s time to unlock
Drop my time-stopping letters
Sooner than later

######

Rain is at your door
Moments won’t come back again
Greet it in your veins

#####

Wide eyes at the door
I’ve to get down from the train
To cave...

The corridors of life are rarely straight:
Not only do they bend and twist and veer,
We find the way ahead becomes unclear,
Soon blocked by doors -- each door, a different fate.
We’d like to take our time, to contemplate,
But time will press, and each will urge, “Come...
