Premium Member I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe
I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe, dressed in a white dress, flowing like rivers of milk from fairy tales, watching how the sky melts like summer ice cream and lets its pearls fall, whispering as if the soul of the world would listen to its quiet and melancholic song. I remember that day...

Premium Member By The Squeaky Gate
Swish of ripples weave along a ledge...my hands pretending to rap beneath inked stars ; while soft winds chime a lonely chorus filling the shoreline with empty rhythm and blues; the ones which lightly twitch my heart-- Every note jangling, crawling in this stained night... for the love I know best gushes out, unnoticed and aloof, still I pray...

Tomorrow's Gate
"I wait by the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find," where rust clings like memory, and the wind carries your name like a secret. No footsteps come, only the hush of almost. Time leans against the fence, and I wonder if it grieves, too....

Many a place that time leaves behind Hold memories that never rust Like the now broken swing where skyward you'd climb It now creaks as it sways in a windy gust The old wooden house where you once lived Held memories of laughter and fun With beauty from nature derived Playing where the rivers...

The Gate
"By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find" A scarecrow debates with the rust of his mind, He’s stitched from the thoughts that the dreamers outgrew, Wearing boots full of echoes and logic askew, While time ties its laces with fragments of chance, And memory curtsies in yesterday’s dance. A teacup of thunder, left out on the sill, Hums songs to...

Premium Member The Gate Sprung, Shut
I turned to look back, feeling anxious as I stood "by the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find." Was there someone there watching me? The gate creaked shut, echoing the taint of guilt That I hoped no one heard. Earlier I came through this gate to meet you in the woods. It was rusty, stuck shut, and needed a heavy...

Premium Member By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find
Why do we call the good old days, good? Grandma was always talking, talking about the days that had passed. I wonder if they were really that good, or does our mind play a trick on us? Grandma loved sitting on her porch, looking out over her land in her rocking chair. Now the old rustic white fence, is falling down...

Premium Member Beyond the Cemetery Gate
Withering weeping willows shade wrought-iron gates, creaking in the midst of a cool mid-autumn gale. Starless, charcoal skies loom above, as birdsong of nightingales drifts through the evening. Coming upon a worn, dirt-laden path, frost-burnt grass lines the edges, beckoning me to mourning’s sorrow. Marble statues of angels, frozen in prayer, greet me. falling to my knees, I brush the crisp leaves from your...

Premium Member To Karin: Brandenburg Gate
Like some dark frail bird she quivered and fluttered there at my door one dark cold Advent night, swearing to return come the new year with a photo of Brandenburg Gate. Arms, hands, fingertips, eyes, then nothing between us but electrified space – her light tread descending the steps – my heart drawn downward by the diminishing sound. Sometimes still my heart is snared between winter a swirling hem and Brandenburg...

Premium Member Beyond the Gate
On gentle currents of the air I'll take my rest, my final rest, my essence gliding on the waves of time's eternal peacefulness. I'll see the ocean of your tears like waterfalls born deep, flow free, and hear the vows that linger still upon devotion's buoyancy. The winds of promise soon will change the fear and sorrow I now see and spread love's everlasting flame across...

Premium Member opening the gate to my dog pen
Hypervigilant are both dogs Fat and juicy, built like farm hogs They are in a huge pen with plenty to do Do they know that I, their gatekeeper, is watching them too? I am vastly aware how fast they are As I open the gate, not far from a car Being knocked down by the front gate Is pretty often now my...

Intent On Camping
Not your ordinary, average date, a country ramble, a stile a gate, and here's the pitch, “We won't go far, or stay up late.” Now he and she sitting silently, beside the flickering fire, innocently she believes, camping separately within tent, is where they will retire. But his fuse was lit when first they met, longingly he knows and yet, that's not what's on his mind, nor what...

Premium Member End of the World
It’s the end of the world, babe Since the second of May this year Nothing can save us, maybe A miracle, but it’s unclear As it always happens with miracles They get lost on the next day Which appears to be satirical But a few can see it this way It’s the end of the world, now It starts from this very date Write a...
