A Labyrinth

                                     

A labyrinth constructed in perfection

Hues claim color blue for their reflection

Old and new take turns in violet isolation

A Spectrum designed in oblivion

        Nowhere to find safety, fall or learn to fly the horizon

abysses hold my untold as a hidden tradition

these secrets are folded delicate

like warm winter blankets           

Sitting in the attic on the sunny side of regret

These Loft windows lay unarmed and clear

My Fear watches over the skyline with a cracked mirror

Searching for a lost child, my child

Gone far into the labyrinth

Grey Clouds offer tears to replace a thunders rest

And I mourn while evanescent with wonder

Of my children, gone and left behind

Detained by fate for spending stolen time as mine

Destiny's fight unwinds

my last chance to shine

You have been progressing very well with every poem you write. A sense of pain and longing for her child who is lost in the secrets of Labyrinth is amazingly crafted here, SK..

Pete, I remember the first review you gave me after you read apartment #205. I was so thrilled I didnt think anyone was paying attention. I enjoy your positive words. Positive words have helped me become braver more confident with what I wish to express. Thank you and God Bless

apartment #205 is such a cool write & i haven't forgotten it to this day. all your writes are fantastic as far as i am concerned. you have a lot of deep, passionate creativity locked inside of yourself. you're a master with words. sometimes as i read your writes i am in awe & can't believe what i'm reading. i'm usually like, "are you serious, this is so awesome." you rock! :)

A beautifully written maze of poetic purity. The words you chose are varied and tie the poem together very well. Seems to portray regret and a hope for the future and perhaps peaceful oblivion/rest when you are finally finished with your search for enlightenment or love or redemption. This poem is open to a multitude of interpretations and that is partially what makes this poem so fantastic.

Different people will interpret this differently depending on their experiences and beliefs. This also reminded me of the myth of the Minotaur that lives within a labyrinthine maze where there is no escape.

The sheer magnitude of this poem is grand in scope and I adore this poem because of it.

An amazingly deep and beautifully written poem brimming with complex themes and concepts, Milady! :D
