5454 Silent Doors 04 June 2006 Empty or open full or closed Those stitches of rhyme yesterdays dreams awoken Skeletons, fleshless in life bared upon a soul to beat A heart, unacquainted in thought terror, a pain raped of stability Her eyes, statues of granite each pupil a ruby to star Eyelids weary, void in sleep behind every optical, vision stained Those needles pricking in fingers to touch threads displaying encrusted cotton A door ajar, the hinges tired of movement limp, frail, was she a woman, or as human as life “Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?” Job 31: 34 KJV © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

This poem is rich with imagery. I particular like those lines: 'A heart, unacquainted in thought terror, a pain raped of stability' The thought is deep, there is a lot in this poem. I wonder if you written the lines of this poem, with purpose to form the shape it does? It looks good. |
