Short Hold Open Poems

The poet's task is simple, noble and bold
For the poem need only hold open a door
long enough to allow the reader to escape...

No door I won't hold open
Old fashioned's my campaign 
I'll give you my umbrella 
And walk out in the rain 
I'll stand until you're seated 
I'll offer you my chair 
I'll listen to you when you speak
Because I really care
Would a serenade make you happy?
If so, that's what I'll do
I'll treat you like a lady
Only the best for you...

The life, the lies, the heavenplace
In which we sole survive
Contain a bit of shame as well
As tiny beads of sweat.
There isn't much else to say
That hasn't already been heard.
Yet I hold you to each fashioning
Each posting; every word.
Do I dare hold open doors of genius
Only empires will abound.
Each time the art can hold its own
The world is homeward bound....

People are so rude today, they would sooner stand in the middle of the store aisles on their 
cell phones than move out of your way. They think that an excuse me  is imposing on their 
time, to be a little nicer wouldn't be such a crime. So hurried and rushed people are today no 
kind words are spoken anymore, its not it like was when i was young when people would 
actually hold open the door....

I’ll hold open your door,
Gladly pull out your chair.
On a bus, I will stand
So, you can sit there.
I will let you walk first. 
I’ll throw my jacket down
When you need to walk through
The puddles on the ground.
I’ll come to your aid
If you should ever scream.
Your knight in shining armor,
I’ll be your dream.
Some say it is chivalry,
But I know what is true.
Why I do all these things
Is to love and respect you....

ill love you forever 
but you dont have the time
i wish you would see
but it doesnt matter to me
ill hold open my arms for all of time
either for you
or for all the earth
ill take care of my life
with passionate peace
ill smile when ussually id cry
write
scream
hate
die
but now, i cant help but smile
at the things lifes given to me
to the things ive seen
the things ill do
lifes so good.
even at the worst parts, 
everything can be curred with a mother freaking smile(:...
