I've translated them from my language , so maybe u don't understand them well :
There was a door to which I found no key ,
There was a Veil past which I might not see :
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There seem'd-and then no more of Thee and Me .
how about this :
For in and out , above ,about , below,
Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow -Show
Play'd in a box whose candle is the sun ,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go .
(I wanted more answers so I put it at this category)

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Verse 33.
There was the Door to which I found no Key:
There was the Veil through which I could not see:
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There was -- and then no more of Thee and Me.
Sorry, Edward Fitzgerald (1809-1883) already did it, and he did it just a wee bit better. But his book was a big hit, so you're only a century or so too late.

The first one I couldent really connnect with. It had some really good analogies but it was a bit repeditive with the whole me and thee. but because it is a translation from your language its probably much different. The second one was very beautiful. I really loved the immagery and I wish you had expanded on in a bit more. It was a beautiful poem of what seemed to be a memory. Its wounderful. You should keep on writing like this. You definately have a gift.

That is a good poem. Sounds like it is about marriage.

I can't say that I'm inspired by your poem. It really did nothing for me. Sorry.
