The Lock and the Key
by Roger Crique (Age: 51)
copyright 06-13-2005


Age Rating: 16 to 127

 
You are a good woman;
But not every key can open every lock.
You steam-rolled into my life;
You made yourself at home.

The ride was just beginning;
The roller coaster climbed.
It didn’t take long to reach the summit;
Then it barreled down; shattering my peace.

The wonderful crush became a radical crash.
My laughter became your silence.
Your eyes became daggers; slicing me to pieces.
Your sweetness turned to bitterness; My love turned to sorrow.

My key could not open your lock;
Your past stood in the way.
My manhood in question and I wondered why.
How could it not, when death lurked on my mind?

I understand now; I can make sense of it.
No one should think of dying while in heaven!
In battle, one must fight to win the war.
One must be certain that the sun will rise again.

You were played; damaged beyond repair.
Come and go as you please.
But remember that at every corner, you may find another key.

I hope that when the key turns,
it doesn’t break inside your lock!
For if there is something certain,
some locks are always rusty!

well for get about that, for every key there is a lock that fits it. You should never try to force it or search for the key that opens it, when the time comes you will know what to do I hope

Your key may not fit every lock, but crowbars do. lol Just playing.

This is a beautiful work, and something I definitly think makes you a better person than me. It's taken me almost a year to fully feel this way about one ex, and two years about another. This work is utterly beautiful. One of my favorites from you!

I think there is a catharsis going on here, and agree with David that it kind of stops or fizzles out as if there is still more to say. I sense a lot of anguish that perhaps still needs to be "processed."

I'm not quite certain what is going on in this piece (I really have a hard time interpreting poems, which is why I write such simple ones).
There seems to be a past that is getting in the way. This is an intriguing write. I have read it over a number of times, love the way it reads, but am still trying to uncover the mystery.
