Simply Put, Touched



"Simply Put, Touched"

Simply put,
nothing is ever 
truly simple 

from the get-go
the process 
is complex

Love 
or 
not

in between 
the middle road
of black and white

the colours 
like codes
turned on, fire up

the frequency 
needs to be 
finely tuned

the lessons 
heard hard
on the inside

learned 

without 
the constant 
external braying 

of trolls 
their silver bullets 
and bloodied pitchforks

solace 
is discovered 
inside the reflection 

of pools 
their drowned
broken treasures

discovered
along
unknown paths

their rippling surfaces
like bodies of shining satin 
touched

under gaze 
of guarding 
emerald forests

shining canopies 
held
touched


(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)








"Gotta get away, we live in a realm
Still I gotta break up and out of this hell
But, man, that frequency's so low
Damn, that frequency's so low"
