She Opened a Gate

lovingly she opened a tungsten gate to his Heart quantum lasers sharp, her ordained healing art
penetrated a gossamer of silver spider-webs
drew slightly aback to allow patu marplesi to ebb
ghostly armoured soldiers wandered within
from Constantinople fields to Berlin yields spin
filling spirant space with unearthly eerie

hearts not yet opened
Bullies exude a malevolent force
And victims suffer their mean hellish toll
What is their ultimate unpleasant goal?
Are we their punish-for-pleasure resource?
It’s more than their world’s an OCD course
Where we’re just glass marbles that they can roll
They’re addicts who relish life as a troll
Like unwelcome Vikings from cold lands Norse
These predators think they’re on a high horse
They

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

About the doors of our hearts
I opened the door to my heart
and had let it speak without a fence.
If you did close the door to your heart
"Do not worry", I give you that assurance.
Just be a keeper of the trust
by not using
any of our free and fiery conversations
to suddenly break my heart and the world
in an instance.

Faith Has Opened The Door
LYRIC
All the love
I hold
An infinite roll twisting and turning
out of control
And all the waste paper basket dreams
I scribe I scratch and throw it away
I was born in a silent room of a joyous tear
And all the fear ran away
The facet dripping
Beating a drum so clear
We loaded the car
Turned around
And then pressed on
Each

Opened Eyes
Emptying out what was, everything I thought to be true,
Every opinion, belief, assumption I made to feel better that I used,
I tested the spirits I loved deeply that I solely based upon an idea,
And came to the conclusion that these feelings were fake, they honestly were not real,
I asked the Lord, Why? Why did I

This Book Is Closed But It Never Opened
3min Write Poetry Contest
Sponsor-Matt Caliri
here I am escorted by doom and courted by gloom
it's a sad predicament
like being a crab without pinchers
so to speak
but I keep moving at the bottom of this sea
... of what life
with the bottom dwellers
feeding off the scraps
and avoiding traps
but I'm unbalanced and defenseless
and see myself as being a

The Angel opened her eyes
I stood before the Angel
As the breeze kissed my face
Her wings fluttered in the wind
And the Angel opened her eyes
I knelt before her
And was touched by her
Bright colours exploded into view
Such a feeling of contentment
Spread out before me
Suddenly those things that tormented me
Left me and flew away
For today was the day
The Angel opened her

Here's some verse for Monika Smit, shes took the very worst
Faced every hit, got put in jail, on false covid charges'
She was paid out damages, though they lied their hardest!
Facist? communist.? Whats the worst they can make of it'
Slavery by any name' Victoria governs with it all the same..
The coppers followed dingos like..Sold their own

When I opened the gate of forgiveness with the calm longing of serene nights
When I opened the gate of forgiveness with the calm longing of serene nights,
I truly believed that the bolt of pain was forever sealed.
But this is a hidden song that ceaselessly pours pearl upon the wound,
A muted music, an echo of the old beats, that cannot be forgotten.
My fingers have entwined in sacred, fervent hymns,

Opened
“Opened”
What happens inside the heart,
when the gate opens
inside the mind?
a new world summons;
it’s never too late
to turn back,
but – Love,
the dilemma,
which way
now -
takes you
Home?

Darkness Opened Wide
Little
Miss Witch nose twitched.
Bewitched a mundane stitch;
Halloween clown from head to toe
trick, treat.
She walked
Down the dark street
With sweet sounds of laughter.
Skittles, candy corn, M&Ms
Bag full
One, two,
Three, sudden; Poof!
Black spike hat, gown, and boots
Holding a kitten as black cat
Looked out.

would you say tomorrow
if the day would go way
does time stand still
to hear what people say
is it right to speak me as yours
what is now
if today is yours
To endure
to pull it through
to laugh at apin
to make it through
than honor those
who challenged me
to stand victorious
for a world to see
bit the nail
to chew it up
spit it

At the Opened Door of the Weekday
At the opened door of the weekday
The throat of the gate is choked
With the clamour of the cliché
of Aluta continua!
The little drop of hope
For the poor to breath on
Is now for the rich to tope
We might be covered
Like a stone in the grass
Yet still, we shall rise
Like sunlight from the
