Paloma P Poet Light Verse

Labyrinths of Baggage

Baggage within 
      trappings of illusions,
love packed away
  in neat little compartments
gathering cobwebs at
     makeshift improvisations, 
dusting intermittently
      if by chance a light
           should shine,
never wholly untangling 
    the snare
mid a labyrinth of
      transparent entrapment,  
as violin strings continue
      to unlatch the same old key

Phillip Garcia October 7, 2016 at 2:03 PM A stirring and captivatingly deep write. I wish I had kind of creativity. Very well done Phillip Garcia October 7, 2016 at 2:15 PM Haha. I was momentarily confused. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll be able to rest easier now Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 2:06 PM Sorry I don't know how this ended up here, and sure you do, I've read your poetry. Thanks Phillip. Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 2:04 PM Doesn't she eat him after they mate? :) Thanks Rajat.

Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty October 7, 2016 at 1:32 PM "transparent entrapment"?... I see a spider...and how they make love. Love Paloma. Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 2:07 PM I got lost along the way. Doesn't she eat him after they mate? :) Thanks Rajat.

Daniel Turner October 7, 2016 at 12:54 PM We do tend to keep making the same mistake, thinking we will get a different outcome but hey, what's life without a little adventure? Love your take on the subject:) Nicely penned, Paloma! Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 12:58 PM That's the definition of insanity, isn't it?! :) But then again love is an insanely dangerous adventure most times. Thanks Daniel.

Very poignant and deep, I enjoyed reading it three times ... CayCay Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 11:51 AM Thanks so much CayCay, three times, I'm thrilled!
