Gates Poems

As Usual

Some gates are closed, others are open
I passed them all I lived inside
The postcard views where as a postman
I brought your package every night 
Check your emails if there’s a new
Stifting a yawn you find the one
In haste you almost read it through
Replying with a glint of sun
Meanwhile the coffee smells of morning
You open up

Gates of His Hell

“Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality.” – Emily Dickinson

He can’t help feeling like he lives behind
the gates of hell – a godforsaken place
where ghostly thoughts inhabit his sad mind.
Groaning, he envisions her smiling face.
The specter of her will not go away.
Grief-stricken since her passing, still he grieves.
So difficult it’s been for

THE GATES OF WRATH

The ‘net’ is closing in, revealing a ‘web of lies’  Those who use AI and those who plagerise poems fool no one but themselves! Quote by poet!


A gossamer shroud drapes the old lych-gate
I’d hopes it would vanish, alas it’s too late
A ghostly poet rises from her earthly grave
I’m grief-stricken, why can’t people behave?

The Gates of Hell

Gate or Gates 7-1-25  Based on Rodin’s Gates of Hell.  It struck me that Rodin’s gates are closed which made me think of a pastor who said he would want to set up a mission at the gates of hell, that maybe, there might be one last chance of forgiveness.  Agree or

Through the Rusted Gates

"With each wave of anguish that crashes over me, 
I find myself drowning in my own tears."     ~ by poet

     I walked through the rusted gates and entered a godforsaken plot of land. A family cemetery on top of the hill near the River Strand. A chilled

The Gates of Hades

The Gates of Hades

today I visited your Grave my love
I wasn’t sure if you noticed
this cemetery is in a Godforsaken place
the knobby old weeping willows
lend a Ghostly tenor to the site
the wind blowing through the trees
makes a Groaning sound or
perhaps it is just my imagination
I am still Grief-stricken since
that time ten years ago when
your soul

Gates Shut, Game Closed!

The gate creaked, moaning and groaning to shut,
Sealing up, quelling, the bickering blame-game glut.
No you can’t sneak around, and jump the fence,
With grave looting cries of grief-stricken offense!
That won’t work anymore! So don’t strut up on-bail,
Clad in your ghostly godforsaken gossamer veil,
Claiming it was not your fault, 'cos you told no lie!
For snake-eyes have tears

PEARLY GATES HORSE AND CARRIAGE JOURNEY

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
Harmony of Heaven
Spiritual tact
A Soul rose and soared far beyond the eyes to see
Beyond loving hearts
Pearly Gates a wait
Accompanied by a Driver, White Horse and Carriage
Pure and Secrete
Onward to everlasting life
Every horse Gallup establishing every step walked on Earth
The pain and anguished confronted
This was Ms. Evans hour to shine among

The Flood Gates Opened

Today the flood gates opened
A strong tide rushed down, coming down
Everything was just swept away
No one left, no one around
It became clear an act of God
See what happens in the Lord's mighty wrath?
He struck down with lightning and with thunder
We prayed that all things would again last

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version 2 - 32

The Dark men fought on past their mother,
many had seen the mighty one fall
they fought on with bitter hate,
as now, once more, did the mother of the storm.
Her spear flashed lightning,
she stirred on her horses,
the chariot moving quickly forward,
the spear drinking deeply of Arlagh's blood.

The battle now raging,
one large cacophony of terror,
many smaller battles now

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version - 2 -31

Fierce goblins rode these wolves,
their curved scimitars, raining death,
their fierce visage could freeze the heart,
they moved with the giant spiders,
death comes in so many ways.
The battle on the right was terrible,
blood did flow like a river,
black, blue, green and red,
what horror stalked Badicha.

Already, the foot soldiers are charging into the trees,
they now had the bloodthirst,
it

The Gates Of A Heavenly Wave

My mind is wrapped in wonder,
To think that I could love her;
How can we explore,
Our caring for each other?
All that has ever haunted,
Was a poltergeist, unwanted!
Which prayer could there be,
That is meant for love evolving?
Which prayer should I speak,
May reach God’s ears,
To problem solve it?

When Golden Gates Fall

"When Golden Gates Fall"

The gates are seen in a dream
all channels open 
the water swirling
all the faces falling 

escaping mirrors

the golden gate swings 
all its symphony strings sing
holding up the visage 
of lives traversing a bridge 

from one side to the other

as seen in a dream
through glass
the ever beckoning unreckoning 
calls all in slumber unpoetically

Kiss her only if your gaze can open the gates to a fairytale realm

Kiss her only if your gaze can open the gates to a fairytale realm,
where your lips unravel mysteries hidden beneath the cosmic dust of time,
where her body is not just a sanctuary but a universe waiting to be explored,
where her tongue is an arena of silent conflicts, woven with the names of ghosts.
She has burned

Guarding Gates

Truth imbibed, a steady stream,
awaits the mind to chase the dream.
We feel it settle in our bones,
a whispered truth the soul has known.
In time dissolved, where stillness waits,
meditation guards the gates.
Through silent thoughts, the echoes call,
revealing what we’ve known through all
