the door stays closed it mattered not for I knew what was behind it the door keeps people from entering the Closed Door of Sad Endings but the demons behind that door are allowed to leave in order for them to infiltrate the thoughts of the ones who conjured them up made them what they were demons behind the Closed Door of Sad Endings these little but barbaric demons slip into thoughts of those who made them who they are these men and women are thusly maddened to relive things in their past they try to forget but the little demons are there making sure they will never forget their nasty past to some people this constant replaying all the hurtful things they have committed it can lead some to insane asylums and others to suicide you see them everywhere though you can never tell by looking still . . . the quiet man with his wife and kids sitting at a restaurant table having dinner, chatting amicably near you could be silently thinking about and wondering how many people he could kill if he pulled the weapon in his powder blue suit coat pocket you never know how the demons have harassed this man to the point of insanity until he decides to show you such is the work of the little demons behind the Closed Door of Sad Endings ©December 4, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |

This is very impressive, dear Jerry, and it shows how past events haunt us throughout life no doubt. The lesson of letting go our past is a tough lesson, it takes much love towards ourselves. You have the words that you share and that is one of the most effective ways to not be bothered endlessly by those little demons. You acknowledge them and by writing about them you release them ... Thought provoking in its in-depth reflections, dear Jerry. Very well done! Margherita  |

I appreciate your thoughts on my poem, Margherita, and yes indeed acknowledging the worrisome pasts' effect on you and writing about them surely does help thwart their effectiveness. Thank you. If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |

I've been struggling as well with demons, varied as they are from your own. But you know what? Live and let lift! That's what I say! So good to be reading you again, Jerry. |

It is good to be reading you and also reading your comments on my efforts. Thank you for that. ~*~ When politicians give up on liberty, it falls to poets to preserve it. Or write its epitaph. ~*~ |

Hello Jerry: yes, bringing the dark side into the light by sharing it with others through the medium of poetry can certainly dilute and dissipate their presence and power. Which you've effectively done! flash |

Wow. I have a few of them doors around here, Jer... and what comes at me from them, though I try to pretend they can't have me, never cease in their effort. It's Christmas , look to the open doors around you, the once that are shut have been shut for a reason. If nothing else, they will still be there afterward. Wishing you peace, my friend. Michael |

Although we are one of billions on this world, we are all essentially alone. Memory is a knife cloaked in velvet, and too often the blade cuts through. The demons or the knife: control is the only answer. This certainly is an impressive write. |
