Black Door
By Sean Mc Shane
* cue piano . . .
Before we dance to this sorrowful theme
of another hard goodbye
I want to see your
beautiful smile
in a silence that whispers, why
?
on a shimmering Heatwave Horizon
we can recall our first words of Love
chase them over the rolling
Evermeadow Hills
and down into the Valley of
the Wounded Dove
thru a big Black Door in a long White Hall
to the maze tunnels under Memory Lane
below
on going Streets of Fire
fueled by promises
wrapped in pain
Move into the black light shadow
carve away the filth given by mistrust
fresh scars come from shattered
hope
to remain deep down in unchecked lust
We both pushed and pulled from the side
over the center of a collapsing dream
falling in even harder than
before
that explains the echoing scream
Now we walk this stranger's road
no
idea where we are anymore
you on one side - me on the other
now
where is that big Black Door ?
we sealed our Fate with our first
kiss
the stars hid from us at that time
Astral Lovers who saw our destiny, then
now, wish to hear our last futile rhyme . . .

Thanks, Robyn. What a powerful compliment. I'm sorry I made ya cry, but if it was a good cry, then I guess that's okay. Break-ups are hard, but you 're a strong, beautiful gal who writes wonderful poems. So I see you coming out the other end stronger than you thought you'd be. Cool. Til next time -

I'll admit this piece made me anxious. Just because of love separated. Great piece.
