Labyrinth
Dreamer
Beloved labyrinth
companion of mine
seducer of hearts
master of minds
coursing through chaos
oppressive at times
yet perfect for parsing
of use to my kind.
A quest to find balance
in light and in gloom,
mind racing, heart living
in daydreams and spurs,
words pacing, soul craving
those mountainous curves
unraveling in beauty
through poem I purr.
Seducer
Beloved labyrinth,
companion I seek
storming my brain
seducing his heart.
Unbridled chaos
oppressive to some
though golden for parsing
and unabashed love.
Altruist
Labyrinth of thought
soul in neglect
craving to be heard
longing to be read.
Unsettled words
now parsed and tweaked
gracefully unfolding
through poem I speak.
