Unlocked Poems

An Unlocked Door

My dearest child, please hear
You are still underage
The world you do not fear
Its strength you cannot gauge

If fixed to go away
Don’t bring on dreadful shame
That will make it certain
Ever stamped on your name

Life demands a hard climb
As building often does
Can take a long, long time
To overcome what was

Beware of what inflames
That injures, wounds, and maims
Don’t misuse and defame
That precious gift, your name

I will always love you
And listen for your knock
Know the door you left through
Will always be unlocked

Unlocked Diary Draft

An unlocked diary
Full of fears and fate
Filled with love
Not hate

Words rhymed without form
A withered rose with thorns
A split mind on the mend
Willing to persevere till the end

Open now, for all to see 
Between religious, and blasphemy 

An unlocked diary
Is all I have to offer you
I have opened up
Knowing now what not to do

So here you are
If you want to see
Welcome to my
Unlocked diary

Freedom Means Unlocked Doors-

Freedoms goal is unlock hedged doors

The Unlocked Door of Love

I lay awake this night only thinking of you tossing and turning with only you running through my mind, my hand gently touching your face as if it were a cloud created by God. I yearn for my lips to touch yours tasting your flavor of intoxicating wine while embracing you tightly as our hearts beat as one while creasing your mind with my tongue. I wait with anticipation to feel your shivering as my body enters your mind with movements like the waves of the ocean eventually creating this hurricane of love; our minds will be lost at sea traveling through time together as we hear a squeak from the cabin door opening with a small voice that says: 

MOM DAD BILLY HIT ME!!

Open Doors To Unlocked Secret Passes

Come
running
back to your
secret passage,
Opening those doors
Yet unlocked, but
Blocked by lies
truth hides
 me?

Friday Unlocked

An odour of garlic
and it's raining 
but 
I don't think the two
are connected 
it's probably a
coincidence.

Night birds in the tube train
and no vampires here to 
drain my blood
which is a good thing
all things being considered.

I'm watching carefully
fully aware of how people
change

it's often heard on the 
Central line
'All Change'

I'm safe for now
my cross
is constantly with me

He looks dangerous 
with his meticulously 
manicured nails 

Frankenstein on the rails 
monsters on the metropolitan 
I'm getting off at Tottenham 
Court
you ought to know that
by now.

Unlocked

Allowing me to have that chance,
One last look, one last glance,
You unlocked the door, you let me in,
While I wept the tears I avoided within,
You sat in your chair, and stayed by my side,
You let me cherish the memories as I sat down and cried,
At my weakest point, you brought me back home,
To all the love I've ever known,
Reminding me my tears were never in vain,
That the love I hold inside is much stronger than the pain,
Bringing out tears like rain pouring down,
Letting go of control, so I could hear the sound,
Of your voice...moving through each tear,
Surrendered pain only your ears could hear

The Unlocked Creaky Gate

The Unlocked Creaky Gate

The giant iron gate creaked 
At the touch of my feverish hands.
Without permission 
I unbolted the unlocked gate.
Sweaty forehead, numb hands,
Iced feet, my stomach tightened,
The palpitation of the heart 
Grew loud and clear
Like a death knell echoing.
Strange isn't it?

Dragging my frozen torso
I walked on the grey cobbled pathway
Quickly turning round the shroudy hedge way,
Wondering what drew me here?
Trespassing into unguarded private property
Was not my forte.
De routing beyond the boundary of time,
Especially when I was hard pressed 
With the  temporal affairs,
Made me more nervy and jittery.

Which lesson of life was ahead
Before the daylight shut out of my eyes?
An invisible hand held my pain awhile.
The heart went back to its pocket,
Calmness  transcended over the nerves,
The blood uncurled till the body warmed.
In a flash, without the blink of an eye,
Both hands lifted me off my herculean feet-
Since when had I become so light?-
Whispering,' I have your missing piece of heart'.

Unlocked

I was lost but couldn't find the way. 
The Way found me.

I believed lies but couldn't change the truth.
The Truth changed me.

My works could never purchase life. 
The Life purchased me.

The chains He broke, it was the proof that Jesus is the Key.

Too blind to see the bars of sin, 'til Jesus let me see,
Now Fear is gone & Death has lost it's sting, since Jesus set me free.

Unlocked Doors

Life has no bounds
Yet we seem to bind ourselves.
Life has no restraints
yet we are contained.
Why do we lock our 
hearts and souls.
Why do we bury our
hopes and fears.
Can we stop hiding 
behind our masks.
Can we stop holding
our heads in our hands.
It seems so hard
to free ourselves,
from all of those
invisible bonds.
Yet freedom is so near
the door unlocked, 
our path so clear.
We just need to look 
beyond our fears.

Unlocked Love

Red-heart (masterlock)

hot passion released!

Talons Unlocked

Original perception
That wave of thought
Just breaking into breath

Eyes awake 
The formative tissue merges
Seeking destiny with each pounding rivet

The sensory system develops 
Highly charged with Nabisco appetites 
As valves open and close filtering 
Shimmering cultural ennui 
World weariness revolts

Motors charged innervated
With bold forward missions 
Spiritual prowess 
Masked in the empire of symbolic 
Dominance

To give up the cultural mandate
Reheat the branding mechanism 
Of limited identities clinking in chain mail
And release the contracted talons as they are
Ready to unfold, break loose
