Welcome to my poetry thread,
Where I write words to be read.
It takes me time to write each line,
But every bit is specially mine.
I've not written many poems before,
But I know I'll improve by writing more.
So please bear with me when I'm not so good...
...And let me know what you like, if you would.
Hello there! I'm Ginevra -- welcome to my poetry thread! I love writing stories and songs, but I haven't tried my hand at poetry in a while. So this thread will be my experiments in a somewhat-new art for me -- and I want any and all feedback you have for me! Whether you're an experienced poet or just a reader with a thought, please give me your constructive criticism, complements, or even general feelings a poem left you with. I hope you enjoy my poetry and visit my thread often -- thanks! 
My first poem I have is the inspiration for my thread's title. For this poem (as well as most or all of my subsequent ones), I'll put a small description about what it means in a spoiler directly following the poem. The open door
Lumos! There must be an escape,
A way to run from this black shape --
This shadow that haunts my every move,
This misty presence I cannot remove.
Step left, step right -- fear clouds my eyes,
Drains my will, my power, to fight.
There is just one door, a single way out,
But it lies so far from where I am now.
Not another sound, not a single spell
Except for the words I cannot quell:
Lumos! Lumos! Alohomora! Incendio!
Still nothing but fear and invisible foe.
But then another flicker aids my light --
Another wand, another person in a selfsame plight?
Lumos! Another second and three wands now shine,
Two brilliant, silent beams of light to add to mine.
The door still lies before me, the night still blackest black,
But now I catch a glimmer of white in the cracks.
Three wands go forth in unison, and, together in the war,
Move inherently as one trinity -- through the open door.

Hey, sorry for the long break! School has been keeping me busy.  This is another poem about a struggle -- I guess that's just what I've been thinking about a lot.. (I blame finals)  The March
A narrow twisted road awaits,
A road marked by long lost fates
One step forward leads you nearer to dark
Yet one step back is farther from your mark.
The never-ending struggle, the lasting question:
March on?
The fate of more than just you in your hand,
A weight, a fire, a reason -- you understand
That one wrong move, a single mistake
Could mean, for a stranger, forever asleep or awake.
The never-ending pressure, the lasting question:
March on?
A thought enters your mind, a poisonous notion:
“I never wanted to be the hero; I never asked to be chosen.
I never sought wealth or power or fame,
And yet here am I, an innocent in the heart of the flame!”
The never-ending choice, the lasting question:
March on?
A look forward, a glance back -- the decision will be binding.
The simple trail leading straight to home, the menacing path forever winding.
To chose the way you have always known, or willingly submit your body to strife –
Yet while one journey is closer to death, the other is farther from life.
The never-ending conflict, the lasting question:
March on?
