He slapped her and her head whipped sideways.
The door slams shut after the confessional and before the pearly gates.
Solidarity
The bridge between Life and Death
Aging Gray Clouds, HOME
Inspired By Raul's " Inspiration in Haiku " Contest
Pearly gates and streets of gold
Melodious chorale of angel’s song
Clouds are soft I want them to hold
Rainbows of love shining along
I stood before the pearly gates
Awaiting entrance in,
Unaware of impediments
To bar my entering,
Then they came back to haunt me,
My disremembered sins.
go high or go low
with the Dayspring or the fire
as you breathe your last -
pearly gates jumping with joy
or poignant toss into lake?

There I was standing at the Pearly Gates
I was so excited to learn my fate
First, they sat me down
On my head a crown
Then the question ~ What are your pronouns, mate?!
Coral is the most beautiful creation
That nature has conceived with many variations
Most magnificent color
That only love can muster
Except for the entrance to the Pearly Gates
After making coffee when you wake
You put it in the fridge then realize your mistake
We've all done it, be honest
It's just some silly test
Or if you've passed through the Pearly Gates
Conversed today with my ninety-year-old sister
Now that's longevity, perhaps I should whisper
Case pearly gatekeeper's asleep
The great benefits she'd reap
Could be the gatekeeper might be into the liquor
Conversed today with my ninety-two-year-old sister
Now that's longevity, perhaps I should whisper
Case the gatekeeper's asleep
The great benefits she'd reap
Or maybe the gatekeeper could be into the liquor
Seems I'm getting near the end of life's journey
So many things still to do, but the future is murky
Will it be this year of next
Probably a few more I suspect
Starting to see visions of those gates so pearly
Happiness awaits, in the heaven's above.
Through those pearly gates;
Our Father awaits.
We are always loved, from our Father above!
He knows who we are and what we can be.
Only thee, can choose to be, what he meant for you to be.
Seems I'm getting near the end of life's journey
So many things still to do, but the future is murky
Will it be this year of next
Probably a few more I suspect
Starting to see visions of those gates so pearly
NOT!!!
Death
Is here,
At the door
With boiling arms
And macabre charms
To lend a gnarly hand
And escort my life away,
On an exclusive one-way trip
Through July hell ‘til it sheds its grip,
Halting when through the Pearly Gates I slip.
No pearls of wisdom awaits
No greetings at pearly gates
No angel's wings or golden things
Nor judgement that seals our fates
No eulogies will be read
No memories of the dead
No blinding light or second sight
Only darkness lies ahead
“Told ya so” said my intuition... should have listened I agree
Won't make that mistake again, one day it'll be the death of me
Maybe running a red light
That car from the right
And the Pearly Gates come into view, oh-oh, pooped my dungarees
Ye old jalopy of the junkyard
spiffed up
with spinning tires
hydroplaning of the weather vane
no ejection seat
no buckle to fumble
open air
hit from behind
the child held with grandma’s wrought iron arms
grandpa’s at the pearly gates
chooses lemon-lime

I hitchhiked up to Limbo
to await that final toll
But lost my way when Siren’s called
which led me to the shoals
My thumb went back inside my palm,
their voices soft and low
No closer to those pearly gates
—this darkened undertow
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
Mrs. Marvel wore sweatshirt for twenty-eight years until her final breath.
Signed by her 8th grade students, four whom had died a tragic death.
Killed in a tragic bus accident on the way to a state cheerleading rally.
They met her at the pearly gates – Linda, Cherry, Patrice and Molly McNally.
Life is for pleasure
Who needs the pain
As you exit this world
What have you gained
Keep your upper lip stiff
Deny yourself fun --
You might as well be
An ascetic or nun...
'Course at yon pearly gates
There's this matter of sin
Epicurus cries 'til it hurts ~
But he never gets in
Hope and revelation is within
You can see it around thou, You can feel it within thyself
The pearly gates open withn thou, Thou understands and knows it
Because his hope is stronger than the obstacles in his path
Only divine intervention,
only faith can lead his hand through the valley of the shadow of death.
What will it be like
Will there be big pearly gates?
Will I see my family and friends?
Is it true that angels
are beautiful creatures of the sky?
Dressed in there gowns of white.
What is it like in heaven at night?
Can you see the stars shining bright?
What happens to the pictures in the sky?
Do they fade away at night?
I promise bitter sweet
scarlet letters
Pine cones winter's breath;
Mustard seeds finite faith;
Awesome ever clever;
Grandma's Hydrangeas pearly gates;
Red velvet tongued-tied leaves of faith;
Awesome those biter sweet promises of MAN;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2020
Who is this woman standing here?
is not a lady of conscious clear
whose time on earth was not spent praying
of dubious character mankind was saying
as death takes hold and her spirit vacates
she stands at heavens pearly gates
as they open she enters in.....
St.Peter smiles and tells her then....is not all mankind full of sin'?
Woe is me,
A stranger in a strange land of hate,
An eternal enemy to love and to trust,
Sorrow is my companion,
Lonliness is my mate,
Which of the two is my fate?
Open thy gates,
Thy wonderous Pearly Gates,
For outside i know only pain,
Can i love again?
Maybe tomorrow,
Maybe tomorrow.
