The Doorkeeper

By Benj

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am the root of all evil where kindness begins, I caused the upheaval and forgave dying sins, I stand alone, high above while dwelling far below, I am the definition of love and the creator of all we know, I am the maker of time I invented the line I made heavenly wine I made hell divine, I am lust, lush, and passion I am hate, fear, and death I am life, loss, and ration I am your first and final breath, I am the gate to the Gods I am the fiery world of the devil I am the howling pack of dogs I am each and every level, I am now and I am then I am where and I am when I am thick and I am thin I am forgiveness and I am sin I am the beginning and I am the end If you want to get out or you want to get in, You must seek the doorkeeper and I am him.Any input will help.
