The guardians at the gate know my name.
But still won’t let me cross.
I don’t belong, they preach.
I’m not wanted anywhere.
The devil rises up heavy with gold and offers me a bed.
I tell him my soul is not for sale. But he knows best.
After all it is his demons that have created this mess.
-Johnny V.
Nicely done. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am sorta proud of this one too. I recently entered a poetry contest at a local coffee house. They will choose the winner Monday night. Cross your fingers. And thanks for the comment.
