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 what’s bleak,
unraveling in beauty
through poems I speak.


Seducer

Beloved labyrinth,
companion I seek
storming my brain
seducing my heart.

Your unbridled chaos
oppressive to some
is golden for probing
these unfettered thoughts.

Altruist

Labyrinth of thought
soul in neglect 
craving to be heard 
longing to be read.

Unsettled words
now parsed and tweaked
gracefully unfolding
through poems I speak.
