The knocking
the door is being knocked, For ages, it has remained closed Who is there? The Sun looks The Breeze Halts Tulips raise their heads in delight But the Cascade still flows on Humming like an indifferent Bee Knock - knock - knock How persistent the knocking is... But who comes calling? Through the peepholes, its light spills in The Valley enlightes with joy Old Cider tree opens its...

Ocean, Knocking
As you open that door… you don’t know that there is an ocean behind it If you had to choose between feeling nothing and feeling everything, would you succumb to the flood? What if what you felt was more than most—if your body and mind becomes a single ravaged nerve for every throb of the world?...

Premium Member When my Muse Came Knocking
When starlings were swimming in the azure lake, When bats and owls began their nocturnal ride, When all the Earth under a dark blanket lay, And man and beast into sweet repose retired, My Muse, like a sweet temptress, came to me To set this captive free, to give free rein to my fancy. She sang into my ears the...

The Knock
He knocked upon my door one day I answered by letting him in I couldn't imagine what he would say But something did begin Something, too good to be true, one would say, something out of the blue Something edging on the brink something, that was you Inside the knocking became so loud Vibrations turning upside down A miracle? I dare not ask I was...

Knocking on Doors
Knocking on doors, people to meet, house after house, street after street, keeping going, day after day, whatever polls or trolls might say, there's not much time for resting feet. Car park selfies, the meet and greet, sharing stickers and printed sheets, no time to waste, there’s no delay, knocking on doors. Sunshine, showers, rinse then repeat, change is never an easy feat, when the future...

Winter Knocked In Vain
Winter knocked but no one answered. Since Summer went on holiday and Spring is still in bed. Autumn hears but is sunk so deeply, so comfortably into the pumpkin colored easy chair that it cannot be bothered to get up and relinquish the leaves off the trees or the puffs of dandelion seeds or the ghost of...

Premium Member I Hear Him Knocking
I hear him knocking. No matter. I will not let him in. The tree exploding with sound - better that it’s not my siding. The cluckity…clucking, I don’t mind, as long as the woodpecker stays off the periphery. His sound inviting, but he’s not invited in. His sharp beak, hacking away. His bright, red head endlessly bobbing. This is no bobbing for apples. Chisel…chisel…chop…chop. I can take...

When News That You Come, Came Knocking
Words that you come came knocking at Door, whole house hummed with her fragrance. The eve, your memories still wet, Then whole town hummed with her fragrance. All night I mused upon the date, All night heart hummed with her fragrance. Old memories made mind fuss, fret, All my gaze hummed with her fragrance. Moment or two where so she sat, The whole...
