Beyond The Door

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Entering the void and the dark of another

lonely night he cries cutting through the

darkness of evil that awaits him to hold

his hand and guide him

 

His feet finds footings yet does he

retreat from the dark or move forward

with fear in his heart while his soul passes

through his mind losing sense of

time space and reality

as the thin air lingers

 

This tomb appeared before him

the doors shut loudly in his ear

and angels heads appeared to be

mocking him in fear with

cold alabaster faces

 

Trying to catch his breath in thin air

that beckoned him into the shelter of

the grave he felt life begin to leave for

a spell to dwell elsewhere

amongst tired souls

 

Left there so long ago while weeping

widows caressed their brows and gave a

last kiss of death burying the key

that opened and closed the door for

ever more

 

The angels said in gentle voices why

pause or wonder why you are here

when the doors have closed and

left you cold and lonely for

the nights beckoning whispers

 

The door of death is your journey’s end

let them open inward and release all the anger

within and come forth gently close behind you

and let the next entereth sorrow

to the graves bitter song

 

So lay in silence awaiting with

folded arms whilst the wind and tide

of destiny awaits you under moonlit night

and deep within light your spirit

to freedom from your shallow grave

 

Rejoice for now you are released and

poets await your verse and song deep

the chasms of your burnt out soul

a song can be heard you sung so long ago

on mother’s breast so white as snow your

first breath set aglow upon the earth

 

Let this door close on a life that was

not meant to be so misdirected through eternity

it will live on for cherub’s await thee to

hear your song and weep

no more the pain is gone

 

My door of life closed twice yet

before it’s close should I see

the parting of Heaven’s door

or enter all I need to know of Hell
