Through the stone keyhole,
Shards of light beckons the stones:
As darkness submits....

No words are needed
looking inside your keyhole;
Buried emotions; 
I will sit here beside you
in perfect silence knowing....

So narrow minded,
She can look through a keyhole,
With both eyes at once.

I stood peeking through the keyhole 
and saw; mommy and daddy roll
in bed playing leapfrog.
I wish for a hotdog
I'll wait and go catch a tadpole.

The girl, - looking into the bedroom's keyhole,
In silence whispered: " At last - I have it!
And by these people I constantly was told,
That fingers sucking- is bad habit"!...

my
keyhole
gaze outside
the visions of
light push aside a collage of my dreams
day’s calling illusions of realities
reflections of
passing sun
seeking
night

he grew a conscience and no longer stares ~ now she asks if he don’t care 

so he peeps through her keyhole just to be fair ~ human nature’s laid bare

Creating an exit,
my psyche expands
all locks have been opened,
no shrill reprimand

The light has rekindled,
my way again clear
a willful expression
—new freedom endeared

early morning sun

                              - with a new glow in the cheeks

                                   - glare through the keyhole

Tightly balled fist
Circles with pangs of expectation
Through a knot, a keyhole is displayed
Sense and memory fade
As love realizes its hope
Knowing where senses grope
Elements cannot be held
They move in mist
Forever saturated in spell...

Crop dusting now,
Endings inevitable.

And in this keyhole
I strain to see
your nostalgia.

Patty cake games
Untimely now
And your breath
so much slower
than before.

This closeness
will follow me
eternally so,
until it is my
time for 
Departure....

Harvest Door

Indian summer sighs a shy farewell
Days pit-a-pat
To a door
Closing 
Shut
~
Fall
Knocking
Quietly
In harvest moons
While frost blows air kisses through the keyhole.

A splash of gold
lines the doors to her soul

Intelligence burning
like a flashlight
through a keyhole
into a dark room.

Wrinkly nose reflex
when you score a hit
and your minds sing together

Her voice her voice her voice
captured, a poor portrait

of a goddess....

In the space between wall and door
The frogs grin
Paper death masks and spindly, clutching fingers
Jarring trespassers with their menacing absurdity

On the doorstep
The verge of confession, keyhole whispers
I stroke the tiny corpses
Defiance taut against my fingertips

I shall never die...

Save the poet shake up their soul,
their words will save the universe;
Privileged glimpse within the keyhole,
save the poet shake up their soul;
For you ink loses all control,
blending black and blue into verse;
Save the poet shake up their soul,
their words will save the universe....

I spy the usual overly animated party goers
Their finery makes me suddenly remember
I back away from the keyhole so others can enter
my heart leaps with happiness as I turn away
hoping the boss will not catch me before I reach the street
office Christmas parties are the worst kind of torture...

Doubt stole through the keyhole
of mind—Searching 
Seeking to shatter the love bond
of our togetherness.

Fragility is not a character trait
of the spirit of true love.
Doubt may numb the body
but dissipates in the prescience
of the spirit.
The spirit is in and of truth;
so is our love....

Harvest Moons

Indian summer’s green corn moon
Sighs a shy farewell – adieu -
Days pit-a-pat through a slowly closing door.

Amber autumn quietly knocks
In harvest hunter barley moons -
Frost blows air kisses through the keyhole.

Here's egg in your beer
 Wet mud in your eye
Ants in your underwear
  Pudding filled with fruit flies 

It's what you deserve
  No more and no less
You peek through the keyhole
  When I get undressed  

I really should poison 
  Your raspberry tea
'Cos now I need worry
  You'll get even with me...

thru
       the keyhole
of domestic
         virtue
a woman
               sits
                    questioning
                       concerned
a focussed
      intimacy
of
the
          eternal
              nature
unguarded
   moments

 generational
  &  contemporary

through the
                  ages...

I peer though the keyhole and I can see
our tiny babe’s
fast asleep!
At last
I
can
relax
for a while
knowing that soon
cries of hunger will rouse me from my dreams

Like Smoke Through a Keyhole


Live each day as though it might
be your last.
Savor each drink in lifes repast.

As our lives pass so quickly,
like smoke through a keyhole.
Love your God and all people.

Leave bitterness outside your
heart and gate.
What awaits you, is a shining fate.
