Unopened Poems

Unopened Letter

unopened letter
missing all the years we've lost
to unforgiveness

Unopened

My grief sits unopened
In a box with the rest of my childhood things
And every time I pull at the yellow satin strings
I'm reminded of why my grief sits unopened

I cannot explain why I wash away the weights in the palms of my empty hands
Or why the clear water sinks down the drain, swirling along with

The Unopened Gift

fact blinded by truth
            one and only narrative~

               reason left to pray

Unopened

The
missive
came, posted
from my home town.
Detached, I laid it aside for awhile.

A week passed, I unearthed the envelope.
She will arrive
on the train
today!
Mom.

Unopened Window

~

I stood at the unopened window,
watching it rain from the sky
Complaining inside of a future
that seems to be passing me by
Regrets flooding every emotion,
moments no longer appear
Searching for hope in the downpour,
since you are no longer here
Wrapped up in clouded decisions,
feeling the glass wet and cold
Dreaming of reasons I love you,
swallowing words now untold
Hoping for

She Is My Unopened Book

When first I peered deep into her eyes, 
My heart was completely besieged,
By her colour, her trance, her all in between, 
Her book I would happily read,

So I steadied my ship, parked on a seat, 
And looked at all that I liked,
And gazed at each little feeling of free, 
Yet her book stayed closed through

The Unopened Gift

He walked upon her in the woods
Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin
He didn't question where she was going
But knew where she had been

~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~

He cleaned her carefully
Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief
He dressed her in royal gowns
Daily changing her value and belief

~desired, delightful, distinct~

When she was grown

Unopened Fortune Cookie

Because she likes mystery and wants to imagine her own story before the world 
rudely interrupts

And as the cookie crumbles the world rumbles its forceful future among her frail dreams

So she leaves everything as is so her dreams are able to live

The mind is only as strong as the cracks from time

p.s. so crack the

Three Little Keys To An Unopened Diary

Three
 small keys
 in my care
In an attic  
furniture , toys, puzzles, stuffed animals
a treasure hunt to find where the keys fit
Victorian
doll house door
perfect
fit
On 
a toy
bed laid a
lace handkerchief
In an open  trunk  laid a  wooden box
small keyhole opening , a diary
lies nestled in
its embrace 
treasured
time

A lace handkerchief  for the 

Unopened Doors

You made the wrong choice first

Please tell me how it got worst.

Where did this all go wrong?

I was once so strong.

One day I was up then I fell.

Everything turned into a living hell.

I didn't know how to be strong anymore.

I'm tired of only getting a closed door.

I don't need a special token

To live out in

The Unopened Letter

The letter stays sealed within the envelope unread and faded 
Bringing neither hope, nor memories blurred or jaded 
The day it came I could not know
Which destiny the words would hold.
Out of fear I refused to break the seal
In hopes that neither fate was real
Thinking only of the I in me
Believing not that Love could ever be 
Nor

Unopened

I would open my dress,
And let you have the woman of me.
I would open my chest,
And let you have the heart of me.
I would open my wounds,
And let you see the pain in me.
I would open my eyes,
And let you see the soul of me.
I would open my arms,
And let you have the warmth of

Unopened Tears

I can see 
That you have hid them with guile 
Placed them behind 
A pasted on smile 
Somewhere down deep inside all the while 
You’ve locked them away with a key 
Hoping some day 
They will set themselves free 

I can see 
Locked far deep inside 
Within the far corners 
Of both of your eyes

Shallow Unopened Grave

Shallow unopened grave 
Rotten earth
If opened a terrifying curse

Behold I discover 
A shallow open grave
Laid a dead man
With blood
Dripping from his brain 

He spoke
A breath first
Then he said
You fool
‘’A Curse Curse’’
Blood just drooled

I felted the same 
But I should be  scared

A dead man curse
I don’t believe 
If this is true 
A flow of blood

Unopened Eyes Co-Written With Doris Culverhouse

Cats on roof in snow
Sentinels watching looking
Without open eyes

The jet flies the governor's
Course set to adultery

Cat slips on frozen 
Snow, claws grip the edge, below
A fire awaits..... fate

Death takes the pilot,
In midair the govenor
Yearns...jet burst apart

Cat's grip is weak claws strip falls
Clings to  governor's carcass

Taxpayers buy a 
New plane, and exwife's dreams flow...
And flames
