Mr. Door

3ww prompt: Avenge, Genuine, Ramble


Did you know if I painted your portrait it would look like this?
Beautiful and closed, especially to me.

door by marisol diaz

In front of you I ramble, on and on and on.
Behind you I am genuine.
Inside you I would tread lightly to avenge my heart.

This has a very gentle feel to it.
If and it is, addressed to Mr Door then I get this amazing image of you walking around inside the door, of course when you said inside you, you might have been refering to the house - even so, this still has a very gentle feel to it!

like someone who is desperate to be heard, I think the door is like a invisible wall that hides one's own desires but when it is open, it can bring out that longings that springs from within, or something like that

Amarettogirl,

Very smooth verse.
Insightful, delightful,
succint without seeming too terse.

Tschuess,
Chris
