DOORS

Behind closed doors

no one knows
love, cheer, laughter,
tears, fear, disaster.

An epic façade

shutting the world out
today or yesteryears,
confining joys and fears.

A grand, double door

of forgotten pasts
with ancient carvings,
layered in pigeon droppings.

A simple, single door

handle to adorn,
name plate alone,
bidding to humble abode.

Bold red door

welcoming with dread
of charming design,
with all curves aligned.

Doors are the face

put up for the world
what goes on inside,
world is not apprised.
