Lady Labyrinth Poet Free verse

In My Heart

"In My Heart"



In my heart 
the dark and light
In my mind 
freedom rides

A glossary 
of worlds
where white prayer books
long shelved are recalcitrant doves

held in the palms
rosaries bleed a 
different meaning
when lips kiss beads

not real feeling
just words
repetitive, learn'ed
blow fish swimming

cajoling
knees kneeling
confessional
inward spun, reeling

In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides

I wait in the grace 
of fire
ignited by light 
from the past 

a funeral pyre
set sail 
cast away on tears
that make up 

The Ocean
each droplet 
a world
An Ode, divine devotion

salty diamonds are sinking like pearls
into the Deep 
wisdom to be found
hidden amongst 

more than all the grains of sand
in the Ocean
and all the stars
in the Sky

the heart of a mother
the mind of a girl
deep blue narcissus
reflections in your saltwater 

are pearls ;

In my heart 
the dark and light
in my mind 
freedom rides

I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past

In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind 
freedom rides

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

with love, YOUR mother
with love, your grandmother, Lynette

Arturo Michael February 28, 2020 at 9:03 AM So Georgia has the collection of poems...She can add this one too...Lucky girl...Enjoyed the read Lady Labyrinth February 28, 2020 at 9:39 AM Georgia is the author of her own life, these poems, are just a chapter in her journey; my daughter is more than lucky, she is blessed but raw like all of us, evolving, imperfect and gifted in many ways, inherited and definitely standing firm on her own terms. xx
