Prompts this week:
One Single Impression - prompt #279 - Demon
Verse First - Lock
Linking up to Write Tribe picture prompt
Verse First prompt:
Virginia Woolf once said, "“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”
Upon consideration, one realizes that being locked - in or out- can be literal, emotional, medical, figurative. And there are other meanings to ponder. A lock can be a fastener fitted to a door or drawer to keep it firmly closed. It can be a section of canal that can be closed to control the water level; used to raise or lower vessels that pass through it. Or a lock can be a simple strand or cluster of hair.
Write a poem around the notion of a lock, using whatever meaning sets free your creativity.
OSI prompt - Demon
The mind is in constant battle with the heart and is the mastermind behind that creeping fear.

Lock the door of my heart so I can behold only you
Hold the key in your hands to the end of time
Let my love not waver nor question this bond
Let my soul shine through like a beacon of love
You and I have sailed the tumultuous seas
In millennium after millennium
Locked our hands that none could break apart
And sang together the songs of our souls
Let me hear again the melody that entices my spirit
And binds me ever closer to you
Let me rest awhile in your loving embrace
So my weary soul may dance again; renewed, refreshed, awakened

OSI prompt - Demon
The mind is in constant battle with the heart and is the mastermind behind that creeping fear.
Let the demon of doubt vanish from my mind
Let him not start a feud with my heart
Let him no place in my existence find
Let him no place in my existence find
Let him not tear my soul apart
For love is the key to conquer all
With faith in my heart I free my mind
The demon of doubt then begins to fall
And unlocked are the fearful chains that bind
