Labyrinth of Your Soul

Why You Should Choose Love When All You Want To Do Is Run. -- Kelsey L.O.

I plunge into the labyrinth of your soul,
          dim-lit corridors,
                        looping, convoluted and tortuous.

I search fervently for your endearing love.
      glimpse dim lights that glow like flashes,
           waves of a calm mountain spring,
at times trickling and sluggish
        often overflowing and surging,
occasionally meandering and gushing.

At your volition 
     I feel your cataclysmic affection:

In my confusion I know not what I feel:
    a relish of pleasure experienced?
        or a neurotic obsession of losing you?

Torn between doubt and devotion! There is always a fear of losing, even when one loves deep. Powerful poem.

Your poem is nicely written and charmingly romantic! Aptly titled, it depicts the ups and downs and ins and outs of love, wonderfully well. :)

Dearest Victor,this is such a mesmerizing and deeply honest expression of love’s intensity — how it can both uplift and unsettle us at once. Your imagery of the labyrinth and the surging waters perfectly captures the beautiful chaos of devotion. Thank you for sharing such a moving and vulnerable piece. It truly resonates...Hugs

Such a very well-conveyed poem, Victor. I think that the end would hit home.  The layout with the picture is really excellent, and the flow of words is no exception. Another one of my favorites from you

Quite a catch 22 situation Victor , damned if you do, damned if you'd don't. But if you don't, you'll always wonder, what if? Good luck in the contest. Tom

The insecurities of entering into a new relationship and especially if you go all in. It's the risk we take for love. Nicely written

Ah another very heartfelt poem from you dear victor, how well expressed and the ending would resonate with many as sometimes some do question the emotions that they feel so deeply , and wonder why.

Yes, sometimes we can have a whole gambit of feelings for the other person because of insecurities within ourselves. I enjoyed reading it. I could feel the fear within the lines. Thanks for sharing it with us. Sara K
