Threshold above the wooden floor

Forewords world is the score

Sad and weary the tales I lore

Threshold

I stand at the edge
Twixt rock and fire
Too weary to fight
Too angry to stop
The crows that haunt my waking steps
May never know peace

Weeping across a curtain of lies
Threshold of mysery and despair
Inmense as a vast ocean
Tears flowing from the soul

Piteous As Piety

Conception of a bloodstained cross
Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty.

when blood ebbs cold 
           and threshold past
             consoled at last

Premium Member Winter Magic

In winter's embrace
Magic unfolds,
And snowy grace
Creates a threshold
Into a world of wonder
Where you exist;
A precious plunder
Waiting to be kissed.

Premium Member Shadow Symbols

a gesture
an
immersive
  spectacle

a threshold
is crossed

in the
    silence
the
lingering
 shadow
of
grief
enters
 
then
 loses itself
in
light

Premium Member Straddling the Threshold

Listen to poem:
Edging close to brink,
I dare not look back nor blink.
Been here many times
before, but always slipped back,
losing grip in the leg-up.

I Choose Life

I stand, inept
on the edge of dreams
Oblivion waits
and darkness, like a mother,
opens her cloak
At the threshold of time
no-one can release you
from yourself
I choose life.

Premium Member Honeymooner

I've just returned from a perfect honeymoon
   Why'd it have to end so soon

 He carried me 'cross an ocean resort's threshold
   ~ Now I'm greeted by mountains of laundry to fold
Form: Couplet

Amen

When we are 
at the threshold of 
our final journey, 
May God never let any of us 
have a life 
that begins 
as soon as we are born; 
a life in despair, 
in tears 
and in need

Premium Member Threshold Nearly Breached

Today I awoke.
Pain tearing the thin, doped veil
Useless to restrain
Its thirst for health, sanity.
Sleep the friend I most cherish.

in my dream of dreams
i turn the key
and cross the threshold
to a blissful world
of enchantment and serenity
where you await me

Premium Member Beyond Imagination

a blur
on the threshold 
of my perception-
an image emerges,
slowly
becoming a thought-
words follow,
then a line,
then a stanza-
order from chaos,
this poem
from a perception

Premium Member Forever A Moment

A veil of promise hides her blushing face
As she recites vows of loving promise
A candle of unity flickers upon a bouquet of flowers
As one rose is placed at the threshold of eternity

Sweet Release

Feeling the steel slip thru flesh
The event horizon reached
There can be no turning back for you
The threshold has been breached
So now it's fade to black my friend
And the final sweet release

Mistletoe

threshold adornment… 
           customized love
                    awaits caressing touch

Itinerantur

Travel …
strange bedfellows
made of us all
Crossing
the threshold
hesitancy stalls
Calling us
forward
the moment attacked
Hiding
our fortunes
—the future on track

Premium Member Never Curse

We should never curse fate

For  

Leading us to the threshold of eternity

Since

It was fate that has opened us the door

Of life!

dawn pulls down long veil 
nyx dances beneath moonlight ~
crickets shriek with cheer
