on your threshold, yet you showed

I long for 
that room
inside 
of me
that will 
pull me in
from the
threshold
of myself

Walked acrost the wooden door 

Threshold above the wooden floor

Forewords world is the score

Sad and weary the tales I lore...

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

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

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....

and those who wait for an invitation
to cross its threshold
seldom do.

My home is your oasis;
Love knows no boundaries for home....

a gesture
an
immersive
  spectacle

a threshold
is crossed

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

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 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....

   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...

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...

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