Walls Poem by satbir bakshi

Walls

Walls they place you
But Doors show where?

Through the half open door
I hear
The soul stirring strains of
Besame Mucho
The lyrics gently bouncing
Upon the walls and piercing
My heart.

But then again – remember
Walls place you- But the
Doors always show where.

The Good Lord they say-
Loves a man who sits at
Her side – by the doors and
Catches her laughter.

That laughter softly tears me
To Tatters.
For nothing is left of me – Each
Time I see her shadow –
Through the now fully open
Door.

Well, my friend
Walls do try to place us
But only the doors show
Where? ? ? ? ? ?
