Beside the last pew, 
a chipped white collection plate.
A ghostly blessing
if you toss a modern coin
through time and the barred front door.

Intruder

the door not locked
or even barred
light slips through

an intruder knocks
seeing it not blocked
and steals my heart away

Barred

Billy Joe was a caring bartender
who tried to be a broken-heart mender.
But stories of woe

Now he's gone on a two-week bender.

seep through concrete walls,
rise under prison doors.

Door

opening the door was easy
it wasn't made of wood
it wasn't barred
no lock with a skeleton key
closing it is harder
it remains ajar
your foot inserted firmly
in the door-frame

Badly Scarred and Barred

Better than being a Trump retard 
Who from my list has been barred
Body and face are too badly scared.

Ran out of time. Will finish later.

Premium Member No holds barred

Yes! 

What appears 

appears without a knower~ 

No separate one 

to know anything

but amazingly

 it may appear that way~

Appearances are 

expressions of nothing

Premium Member Sober Now

So it’s been a week
Or so to speak
That I’m without the hard
That stuff in my life
Is now barred
Still drink a nip
Cuz I’m a retard
Should just slow down
Then give it up
Change my number
Change my town
Learning to live
Sober now
