The Gates Are Closed
At night she feels she's clasping metal gates
That are locked closed, so that she cannot pass;
And, in between the bars, she sees soft grass,
Marked by bare footfalls - is this what awaits
The living, once they're passed their sell by dates?
As she observes: erotic shadows mask
The faces of the lost; she finds her task
Of finding him's impossible - this grates
Upon her lurid mood, but she survives
And carries on her work and rest sans play;
But shakes the gates by night, because it shows
She wants to fuck devotion, for he lives
On in her heart; and she'll always obey,
Although the gates are locked and must stay closed.
That are locked closed, so that she cannot pass;
And, in between the bars, she sees soft grass,
Marked by bare footfalls - is this what awaits
The living, once they're passed their sell by dates?
As she observes: erotic shadows mask
The faces of the lost; she finds her task
Of finding him's impossible - this grates
Upon her lurid mood, but she survives
And carries on her work and rest sans play;
But shakes the gates by night, because it shows
She wants to fuck devotion, for he lives
On in her heart; and she'll always obey,
Although the gates are locked and must stay closed.

SO....I found this ink interesting...locked gates such a these have only one special key, unable to be duplicated where one special person holds it...gates are a perplexing thing...are they keeping something out or preventing one's escape? You see all the beauty beyond them but they are locked at this time because it's not time for you to be gifted all its glory...devotion is there on behalf of both parties, you will be given that key when the time comes to be with Him again...until then, walk further down the path...there you will find another gate which is not locked, after passing through it, its path will lead you back to the locked one...you will see Him unlock the gate which you currently shake, eventually...it's already been fated that way...
Much love to you my friend
