Escalating the Muse

"Escalating the Muse"



Written on the body
passive complacence
stretches sharp ink 
etched pain in the soul
then real beauty 
from the 
Book of Truth, 

a page moored
in transparent skin 


;


Black, 
tattooed ceremonially
on the tongue
speaks diaphonous
Freedom

Written on the body
stretches stories ripped
and tall, they are torn,
a small revolution 
amongst the crowds of
alphabet coding
in a tight sealed tin

akin to a 
Can of Campbell’s Soup

Escalates the 
Muse

Written in the body
a work of art, beautiful, 
pure and stubborn centred,
dirt muddied yet,
clean stripped,
balanced for the
Laymen betwixt

Papillon
folded Wings, 
en stasis,
looks through the Chrysalis 
towards the you in gilded story
the Higher requires analyses, 

there She thinks,
writes the Muse 
tattooed on the tongue 

Words 
projecting Muse to
Escalation

Robert Lindley November 10, 2019 at 8:37 PM My friend, there is a quality in your poems show you write on a plane cast into the golden heavens. Such word-smithing awes me to my poor and humble poetic bones! And in that realm, you seems to easily control immense depths of power as well. A gem , a beauty, and a great fav too... Robert Lindley November 11, 2019 at 7:50 AM My friend I can only speak that which my poetic heart feels when reading your poetry. Methinks you underestimate its impact upon lovers of true poetry that has depths, wisdom and message.. Lady Labyrinth November 10, 2019 at 11:34 PM now now Lindley, your writing is "Divine"; that is way too kind and beautiful a comment to throw my way. My writing pales in comparison to your superior thoughts and words. Thank you for your kind-hearted words. Leanne x

Caren Krutsinger November 10, 2019 at 3:29 AM Your muse is even more theatrical than my muse! " Written on the body stretches stories ripped and tall, they are torn, a small revolution amongst the crowds of alphabet coding in a tight sealed tin akin to a Can of Campbell’s Soup" In full force you march toward an inner truth. Lady Labyrinth November 10, 2019 at 5:17 PM "Truth" is surely the Agenda worth pursuing in all creative works, including life. Thank you Mme K.

Arturo Michael November 10, 2019 at 2:06 AM The last stanza is really graphic...I like it... Lady Labyrinth November 10, 2019 at 5:18 PM Equates with Ascension. Spiritual awakening, transformation. Thank you Arturo.

Frederic Parker November 9, 2019 at 8:55 PM the voices that whisper in our minds are formed by the minutes lived and are painted with the knowledge that renders our understanding of the color of sanity so the world can find the path of our muse as it uses words to describe the journey...the reader can make their own conclusions... my first thought after reading... my true friend Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 8:59 PM Writing, after all, is the Higher Self speaking words to us, surely? One should always listen to that higher power that exists in prisms of Light and Dark within all of us. Always, despite the white noise emanating from the maddening crowd. "IT" leads the way, always. Herr Parker, as per past parlez, your steadfast friend, Leanne.

Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 2:30 PM Everyone is on their own journey towards discovering their Muse, with their own words, thoughts and deeds ... in their own way. Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 2:30 PM STILL CORNERS. https://youtu.be/uKBWxvN0VMc

Ts Poetry November 9, 2019 at 6:00 AM Words of gold gifted soul to soul, written in indelible ink. Marking passage and passion thru time and continuum. Your words bleed beauty enriched with wisdom and truth. Ts Poetry November 9, 2019 at 9:40 PM I was teasing...thanks L have a nice holiday Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 8:38 PM I am standing with people, I am walking with them, friend. It is not for me to lead. People have to follow their own hearts and journeys, write and live their own stories - as it has already been set for them. Dante's story is well worth the read. Your friend, Leanne.x Ts Poetry November 9, 2019 at 5:34 PM I believe we've already been there so lead the way Beatrice Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 4:18 PM "The path to paradise begins in hell"... Ts Poetry November 9, 2019 at 2:44 PM That voice is amazing, I'll have to listen to the whole song when I'm home from work. I don't think the whole break room wants to hear but who knows lol Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 2:34 PM https://youtu.be/nn-2AYI3abI Lady Labyrinth November 9, 2019 at 2:33 PM Thank you TS. Everyone is a gift here, and delivers a gift to the reader - whatever their gifts or agenda. Some remain hidden, but I see them. Regarding, Today's Observer.
