Peep Hole Shadows

Open me, I am yours

 

 

 

 

Peep Hole Shadows

 

Framed by affections,

unlocked, waiting...

weathered of vibrant

thoughts and dead bolt

delusions

 

A portal of desperate

desires and relinquished

 pain, for the light

through my cracks and crevices

now shines

 

My heart is hinged,

eternally,

by brass pins of endless dreams,

tightly fitting into

the perfect grooves of

 your love

 

Twist with simple ease

my handle, dull and waiting

for the sheen of you

ever bright, glowing

to polish me,

to make me

new

 

Open me,

swing me freely,

so smoothly I move

allowing the morning breeze to sift

beyond peep hole shadows

creating a passage

so that I may

walk so deeply

 into you

Such a wonderful read, thanks for sharing this

Thanks for reading and commenting

[Shivam Murari]

Nice write. The last stanza, however, sounds a little porno, don't you think :P

[Jack...]

We all interpret things differently...how ever you see it is how it is, though that was not the intention.

[Shivam Murari]

of course, it is not. But, then, I am just kidding ;-)

[Jack...]

No problem

[Frieda P]

A lovely passageway to the heart in your poetry, as though a light has eased itself into that dark space that houses feelings, long locked away. Different voice from you Jack, and you said you could only write poetry with rhyme, I had no doubt that anything you tackled would be excellent, and I was right!

[Jack...]

Thanks Frieda, this came to me in a dream late Saturday night. And just so you know, I did think I could only write rhymed poetry, but you inspire me, your poetry touches me in so many ways. The way you project your thoughts and feelings is amazing to me and I just wanted to try and see if I could do this.

I love your open door policy in this one. The stanza that stood out to me was this one:

My heart is hinged,
eternally,
by brass pins of endless dreams,
tightly fitting into
the perfect grooves of
your love

Those lines are so uniquely beautiful.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much. The lines you chose came to me in a dream in the middle of the night. I had no choice but to get out of bed and write this poem down, because I know I would have forgotten come morning.

[Jack...]

Blue, this is the poem we discussed yesterday. The first verse is what came to me that night in a dream.

[icelandicblue]

It's really beautiful.

[carol burgess romance]

A beautiful read so early in the morning....so many ways to interpet this but instead I choose to look the the weaving of of such a wonderful peice of art

[Jack...]

Thank you Carol, I appreciate your kind words.

[Talal Hussain]

[Jack...]

Thanks so much

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

A witty one. This can be interpreted in different ways- maybe a friend who offers friendship, a lover who offers his heart, a book to be read, a song to be sung, a poem to be read, a new day to accept, or new life to face.

Amazing, as always. Thanks for this, Jack. :)

[Jack...]

Thank you so much for your kind words

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

This almost upsets me is so good! Honestly, my friend, I don't know how you do it. I love your voice. I have little to say here except praise, praise, praise...

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much
