Soul Connection

Life or death

Love or hate

Union or severance

Soul connection transcends all

Doors

The Doors

Dragging at my feet are doors galore

Some never opened

Some relocked and

Key tossed down the throat

With a vodka shot

Rusted locks tempt me with promises

Of treasures lost

Destinies misplaced

Turns I missed

Choices never mine to make

Doors rankle with every step

Grow heavier by minute

Bogging me down with

What isn’t but should have been

Or could have been

Freedom is what I seek

From gnawing pustules

Of yesterdays and tomorrows

To rise and soar

Unshackled, Unbridled, Unaffected
