Lock and Key




amid the velvet corridors
where shadows cut to pieces dreams
behind safe doors of corduroy
light crack sifts the solid beams
there tucked within one curtained room
you sit recoiled in vacant gloom
surrounded by blue damask walls
you languid lie as sunset falls
as fingers trace rose silken lips
the windows scratched by bare branch whips
and listening to this song of thieves
you fight to find a way to breathe
where wrapped in layers of prickly wool
and imagined dreams of lace and tulle
pretending there what was to be
as you softly weep under lock and key

Although your writing here is a bit blue
Sorrowful expressions most especially are true.
What struck me most when I read your lines
are the mesmerizing words in rhyming signs.
Picturesque indeed,
In which case I may proceed.
Lock and Key? Quite a symbolic representation
of a close and open situation.
In which case I would rather say
It's up to us, to you, to choose. "Night or Day?!"

Your last poem revealed your romantic side Pretty Lady.
With this one is a sadness that crawls across the sky and hides your tears in its darkness and the room holds the dark emotions you feel. The harsh cold day turns the delicate side of your nature inside and your broken heart bleeds and makes us all share in its sadness.
This is so good but very sad and i hope it is not written from experience. There is always light at the end of a tunnel, nature dictates that this is so, but sometimes when the world kicks us in the teeth we care not to see it.
May the light of love always shine in your heart.
