Constant knocking
a fist, a doorbell, a door ring
throwing balls, throwing letters
anything
to make me open that door
A door so huge and tall
Thick with the daily paste of cement added on
sturdy as a 159-years old oak tree
yet so pale and uninviting
Despite that those hands bruised itself knocking
Chipping away the cements a millimeter daily
Denting the walls where it usually stood unmoving
A relentless pursuit
Poked a hole just big enough
To shake your hands
To tell you Hi and that I am here
am here showing my face only to then retire
Oh my gosh such determination!
You came again the very next day!
... and again ...
...and again!!!?!
Soon I split the door into two
Installed some latches to swing them open
For you needed a passage to an entrance and an exit
For a miracle had occurred
For you had occurred.
Thank you, for knocking on my door <3
Hello everyone, I'm trying out spoken poetry again! Pardon the weird intonation or pauses, still basing it on feelings for now so do forgive me if I'm butchering it :)
Enjoy!
