Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
You’ve opened a closed door
one that should have stayed shut secured with several locks keys dropped in the ocean stacks of furniture pressed up against the inside the building that door was in should have been burned down I should have watched the flames erase it from existence instead you opened it back up An evil malicious choice that was not yours to make behind that door affects me, not you that open door weighs on my heart ruins my restful sleep tarnishes my free time pollutes my thoughts crushes my soul And I do not have the power to close it

Wow! What a bold, powerful poem. Your choice of words make me shiver. I wonder if this is relating to love.... or what author is writing about. You're a magnificent poet!

I agree, such a strong, brave poem. Your use of the door metaphor provides you so many vivid images to give us- the key dropped in the ocean, the furniture propped up inside, the whole building burning down. I think it is a good quality for a work of art to not tell you everything. Readers will feel with you here, for their own reasons. But no one will be unmoved.
