Lady Labyrinth Poet Elegy

Bullets From a Shot Heart

"Bullets from a Shot Heart"
 


ripped from the throat
voiceless lips shadow speak

the split glass mind
shoots words 

out the other side
of mirror world

invisible
clearly felt

bullets from a shot heart 
reversed

spilling 
a new kind of love

the warm
let down

in poetic
verse

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)








"Your voice is ringing in my ears, 
but I can't see you talk
You could tell me 
to go straight to hell, 
and I'd enjoy the walk..."



“The human heart 
is the only thing 
whose worth increases 
the more it is broken.”



“Two words. 
Three vowels. 
Four consonants. 
Seven letters. 

It can either cut you open
to the core 
and leave you 
in ungodly pain, or

it can free your soul 
and lift 
a tremendous weight 
off your shoulders. 

The phrase is: 
It’s over.”

I Am Anaya February 28, 2022 at 5:52 PM I had a realization today; you are my fix! You are someone I can share music licks when I get caught up in dismay, I can always come back and enjoy, the writings and music of Leanne Lovejoy! I must tell you I find that you are one of a kind...I Am Anaya Lady Labyrinth March 1, 2022 at 5:22 PM that's one way of articulating it. depends who's translating. thanks, I think. lol. x

I Am Anaya February 25, 2022 at 9:06 AM This agony I have felt of a broken heart. This was exciting! Great song...They remind me of "Puddle Of Mud" ~BLURRY~ AWAY FROM~ ...Gimme Shelter~ probably appropriate for the Disturbing War on Ukraine ~ Lady Labyrinth February 25, 2022 at 3:23 PM yes, the tune's got that Sinatra "I Did It My Way" joie de vivre about it...I shall check Puddle of Mud Out... I'm thinking Dawn French scene (best with sound turned on). Of course, this is all drivel and none of any of what I bang up against a wall here, compares to real war crimes occurring at present and doesn't command respect, like the Ukraine people require at present. Heartfelt regards, Grain of Sand in a Sea of Mud. xx Lady Labyrinth February 25, 2022 at 3:22 PM https://www.facebook.com/Dawnfrenchfan/videos/the-vicar-of-dibley-puddle/816844298373302/
