Unlocked

Unlocked

A Poem by Nipplegrinder

Like a rusted lock
On a decaying latch
Forgotten key
To a door that eyesight
Has not seen for time immeasurable
Like the pressure of the ocean
Locks the souls
In their watery coffins
Like the sun
Captured the Earth
Things that seem locked
Are simply not

So true. No door remains barred to the right key holder.

I liked the honest tone and wisdom shared. Made the reader ponder and think. Locked door can be entered? Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry and your thoughts.

You are welcome my friend.
Thanks for sharing this interesting poem. The last two lines are the “making” of this piece. But of course they have to be being the punch line, the coup-de- gras of a simile like poem which is not a simile at all but a contradiction rather than a comparison. I’m willing to take on faith that not everything that appears locked really is. But a little provenance somewhere in the middle of the poem would be pleasant, some argument while if not compelling at least feisty, that supports the final assertion. In short I wish you had taken a hammer, the universal key, to that rusted lock. Damn the WD 40, full speed ahead.
