Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

Blue

"Blue"



I remember the colour blue
before the ocean turned grey
and I swam into you
I chose to 
I chose you

My ocean is warm and inviting
I am the treasure waiting 
on your shores
I am the smallest shell unseen
I am your sure

I Am 
whispering messages to you

Your Light seen through 
pink of satin skin 
you are translucent
mon amure mon amour
my mother of pearl

I Am 
your grain of sand 
waiting to meet you
The message 
etched inside you

I float confident in your Ocean
moving closer 
towards you 
your golden light waits for me 
in your sky of shining 

Blue

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

“who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band"

Susan Woodrow April 23, 2021 at 3:22 PM Love it :) Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 3:23 PM merci x. I know you have a love affair with the ocean. I have two younger sisters, I like this painting with it's 3 ships. Schmidt alerted me to Van Gogh's time spent near the Ocean, kind of inspired me. I will always live close to the Ocean. It symbolizes Life, to me. The times I have lived far from it, some of the hardest years of my life. Van Gogh, a very special person, beautiful and sad.

Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 3:07 PM My Mother kept a garden A garden of the heart; She planted all the good things, That gave my life its start. She turned me to the sunshine, And encouraged me to dream: Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self-esteem. And when the winds and rains came, She protected me enough; But not too much, she knew I’d need To stand up strong and tough. Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 3:08 PM Her constant good example, Always taught me right from wrong; Markers for my pathway To last my whole life long. I am my Mother’s garden, I am her legacy. And I hope today she feels the love, Reflected back from me. Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 3:08 PM "And when the winds and rains came, She protected me enough; But not too much, she knew I’d need To stand up strong and tough..."

Ts Poetry April 23, 2021 at 3:00 PM When light shines from horizons never seen it is here where we must wait with the wind for warmth to appear. Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 3:08 PM put another log on the fire..
