Liaison


"Liaison"


All seeing,
one eye watching
isn’t blind

I close mine
then open them,
shut the mind

there’s a certain bad romance
in the all seeing 
just being, drags you in 

then you get tangled
up in the full clandestine tryst,
liaison with some nebulous King

covert,
the dossier opened
and read,

"la grande histoire d'amour 
avec la recommencer étant, 
je suis, celui"

an irregular puzzle,
the curious and 
the curiouser;

a mystery;
the flirtatious mind 
shut out, boggles

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)





“It is by going down into the abyss 
that we recover the treasures of life. 
Where you stumble, there lies your treasure. 
Whoever fights monsters 
should see to it, that in the process, 
he does not become a monster. 
And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, 
the abyss will gaze back into you.”
