Behind the door

Behind the door

The unanswered questions behind the closed doors

make sound at night.

The sounds of pathos and pain long restrained

unchain themselves

and crush against the closed doors. Why do they not

believe her words?

She may be a girl with thousands dolled up dreams

but night doors speak

to her, in darkness, in twilight, amid her

curious frights.

The door speaks of numerous drifts of history,

anxious passions,

roaming souls of the failed ones who has come back

from the edge of

triumph, she can sense the sensations gushing from the past.

They don't believe her.

Belief of course eludes her own self, that others

live in the house

where nobody lives to lead life of livings.

"Belief of course eludes her own self that others
live in the house
where nobody lives to lead life of livings."
I'm sorry but I make no sense of this non-sentence. Although I admire most of your poetry I can't agree with all the flowery statement in this thread. It's probably just me.
KC Klein Jan 8, 2009, 7:38am EST
It's the sound of the words playing off each other, that I commented on, Poddar. I think you might have missed someone else's comment for mine.
Lisa Madona U. Jan 8, 2009, 7:49am EST
Mwah!!! Love it!!
Pam S. Jan 8, 2009, 8:31am EST

Good one, Poddar. It creates distinct images. I can feel it!

subtle and moving. It's hard to say more on something that strikes to the heart.
Sandy C. Jan 8, 2009, 1:40pm EST
That was nice
Carrie C. Jan 8, 2009, 1:44pm EST

great one, is that you casper?
Robert - just a simple man - B. Jan 8, 2009, 6:46pm EST
Very indicative of your awesome talent. When (I was a child it was always, always a werewolf behind the closed door, But instead of running I embraced it. I grew to love werewolves even the really gross ones of the Howling series.

Thanks for this poem Poddar.
Angela A. Jan 8, 2009, 7:09pm EST
Sorry, I don't have much to say except for, thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting
Alison H. Jan 9, 2009, 3:19am EST
Very moving, and universal, too, I believe. The shadow thoughts do come at night.
René Allen Jan 9, 2009, 9:11am EST
I read this over a copy of times Poddar ~ This is very good writing. Thank you for sharing this poetic piece with us over in Dream Depths . . . Much to think about.
Ginny W. Jan 9, 2009, 10:52am EST
10, thanks for sharing!
Joyce T. Jan 9, 2009, 11:23am EST
Wonderful, this has applications within the Domestic Violence and Homeless advocate systems. We see far too many individuals who live with such pain, especially the children.
Haim Kadman Jan 9, 2009, 2:36pm EST
Great poem Poddar, like finding one's way in a labyrinth of thoughts.
Michelle W. Jan 9, 2009, 3:38pm EST

Lovely ghost in the words.
William Dotani Jan 9, 2009, 4:45pm EST
So sad. All the thoughts of so many various experiences now over and all that's left is to recall the past.
Sharon P. Jan 9, 2009, 6:00pm EST
That's sad.

Hello :o),

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 5,000 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.

With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)

As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
