Knocks
Canada    My name is Emma and I am very tired
Hard knocks
On a mountain of love    I live in constellations where only lovers lie two different places at two different times He lives above the moon and so do I Feels …

Poems

Steven J Kelly Dec 2017
If Opportunity Knocks then take It
Never look a gift horse in the mouth
If Opportunity Knocks don't fake it.
This chance you have is mammouth.

They say it takes two tango, They say that three is a crowd.
If Opportunity Knocks your way then shout it real loud.

When Opportunity Knocks you can make it
The time has come for you.
When Opportunity knocks
just take it has only you can do.

They say it takes two tango, They say that three is a crowd.
When Opportunity Knocks your way then show that you are real proud.

Opportunity Knocks only once
You may never get a second chance
Opportunity Knocks only once.
Who you going to invite to the dance


The End
Jeffrey Jun 2017
When next love knocks upon my door
I'll invite her in with warm regard
and offer her a cup of tea
as we make introductions

When next love knocks upon my door
I'll not rush her or make haste
but rather let the time unfold
as naturally as ocean tides

The next time love knocks on my door
I’ll set aside all expectation
like children dancing in the rain
happy just to be alive

When next love knocks upon my door
I’ll find a way to let her know
that while I’ve not been waiting for her
I’m happy she’s arrived
she’ll find someone that loves themselves
absolving her of great demands
save for just a moonlit dance

When next love knocks upon my door
I'll read her verses that I've written
and sing her songs forged by my hands
to make the shape of my heart plain

If love decides that she will stay,
not for the night, for ever more
I’ll love both wisely and too well
And remove the knocker from my door
