Ajar

even soft footsteps 
leave an imprint behind
this door, 		ajar
                  with a shadow I once knew
                  caught in its draft

Premium Member Judgment Lightly Ajar

Babies are droolers
Teachers are schoolers
Pitchers are foolers
Lawyers are duelers
Fishermen are spoolers
Faceters are jewelers
Needlers are crewelers
Kids are stoolers
Men are toolers
Women are rulers

Ajar

How long ago did she lose her tears
honest tears of sadness or joy
a trusting heart lost for years
pretend emotions now her decoy
weeping heart captive and barred
concealed essence slowly clears
bound emotions begin to shard
now feeling her inner guide
showing her she should not fear
her trusting heart will open wide
when she finds her unshed tears

Never Leave the Gate Ajar

B-eware of the devil, 
E-very door must be closed; 
L-ike a roaring lion he roams, looking for prey he likes most. 

P-adlock the main opening 
O-f your mind and your heart; 
N-ever let the evil enter 
T-o tear your soul apart. 
E-very hour you must be alert, 
N-ever lose the spiritual war; 
O-r you'll be surely condemned, 
S-o never leave the gate 
A-jar.

Two Caught in the Draft of a Door Ajar

We're mannequins peering from a storage
bin. We slouch across from
the "No-Food" paper sign.
Its message sags to a pulp taped to the shoulders
of a glass door. Shoppers,
incoming, their shared orange

squirts juice. Our mannequin-custodial
grins bar us from the lips' sweet 'oh'.

Crowdsourcing emboldens shame, our French kisses hung
on tangy wind chimes breezes tongue.


It's Ajar

I just had a thought and I'm thinking of her pulling the strings tugging at my heart running rings 'round my emotions now I'm wondering where it will end and if once broken will it ever mend as she cracked the code broke the lock giving rise to a state of shock I'll never be the same but I'm to blame as I opened the door then hoping to win opened my arms and let her in

Premium Member Doors Ajar Bar

Listen to poem:
Doors are used to come and go,
To lock out and lock in
Doors are not very welcoming.

Doors ajar disquieting
Half-hearted gap foreboding
Door neither open nor shut is worrying

Do your doors ajar become you?
What do your doors say about you?
Do you care? Others do?

Because doors separate humans from apes
What's mine is yours without doors
Because laws outlaws gewgaws

Open your doors left ajar, to live an open life.
