"Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."


Creak, squeak
The rusty gate utters
A melody that's unique
And filled with silent prayers.


Releasing squeals of joy
When someone enters,
Emitting moans of woe
As someone departs.


Rusted from continuous tears,
Almost falling apart
As love disappears,
That is the gate to my heart.


The author's comments:
This describes my heart and how with every entrance and departure it gets a little more rusted with pain. Eventually it will either fall apart or refuse to open, unless someone comes along to oil it with love.

I appreciate your comment so much- thanks!

Bleh--I know. I was a very "new" writer that didn't apply the #1 rule "show don't tell" at that time. I would get rid of that author's comment...if I could.

Thanks again!

I may not write more poetry but I'll certianly keep writing! Thanks for the encouragement. :-D

&ldquo;The dye has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won&rsquo;t look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure. I&rsquo;m done with low living, sight walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals: I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, positions, promotions, or popularity. I don&rsquo;t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, live by prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won&rsquo;t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of the lord Jesus Christ.&rdquo; - African martyred for Christ.

I read this after posting a comment of my own, and I just had to say that you definitely don't stink at poetry, and if this is considered "stinking" (lol) at poetry...then I love poetry that stinks...ok, that was all just funny sounding...anyways, wonderful work! You are an amazing poet!

This poem is so beautiful! It deserves an amazing comment, but I just can't think of any other word but beautiful, and yet that doesn't even come close to describing how it truly has touched my own heart.

Thanks so much guys for your awesome comments, they really raise my heart up. I had always stunk at poetry and since this poem was my first ever poem, I thought that it wouldn't be good at all, but surprisingly tons of people like it. All I did was write my emotions on paper and it became a poem just like that. Thanks again!!
