Cellar Door

By Alchemist

Cellar door, cellar door
Don't let any skeleton out

Cellar door, cellar door
Don't let anything slither in

Cellar door, cellar door
Protect me from violent wind

Cellar door, cellar door
Darkened beauty under willows

Cellar door, cellar door
Never wither basement records

Cellar door, cellar door
Never cumbersome to the world

Cellar door, cellar door
How I love to lock my cellar door

Author's Note:

Cellar Door is suppose to be the most beautiful word in the english language so I always wanted to write a poem about a cellar door.

A former member wrote: Damnit, Alchemist, you got it first! Ever since i saw Donnie Darko i wanted to write a poem about a cellar door, which some poet wrote is the single most beautiful phrase in the English language. Oh, i see Lamenta wrote something about it down there. And ColourGod. And wonderland hysteria. Oh, and you in your comment. Anyway, i think it interesting that you say 'never cumbersome to the world.'. Hmm...that's something i'd not have thought of. ... You've given it a voice, this most beautiful phrase. :)

This one is a bit more vague, but leaves room for thought. It almost sounds like a chant at first.

Felt like there was more to say here. Donnie Darko wants me to say so...
