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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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? Posting copied...

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...

"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...

Premium Member 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...

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...

Premium Member 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?...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member Johann Gutenberg and Bill Gates
In the field of communications, only two men truly stand out at the top, in my opinion: Johann Gutenberg and Bill Gates. The printing press spread knowledge and made books accessible to the masses; the computer, too, But over the years this last has increased our frustrations, making our lives sedentary and raising our blood pressure, to say...
