Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

Light Wings and Gossamer Black

"Light Wings and Gossamer Black"



tears of all the lost years 
ghosts' pearls falling softly gossamer black

caressing your sad heart’s crimson 
its bleeding broken beautiful cracks

a small heaven winks back 
some of your light wings

the other side reflects

some of your light wings 
a small heaven winks back

light wings sent for unholy hosts

Inside me there is always you
wormwood wisdom 

the killing of time gliding 
praying for aphids on the tar plain view 

some of your light wings
Blue Silver, Silver Blue

Light Wings
for pearls falling 

into your shining pools
spinning softly gossamer black

walking forever towards you 
through silver blue

"...Terror made me cruel" Wuthering Heights, Bronte


“The people you love become ghosts inside of you, and like this you keep them alive.”


"The ghosts of things that never happened are worse than the ghosts of things that did.”


"Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horror's least." 
Emily Dickenson








Gossamer adj.
Gossamer is something super fine and delicate – like a spider web or the material of a wedding veil.
The original gossamer, from which these meanings come from, is the fine, filmy substance spiders excret to weave their webs. A dress can be gossamer-like, if its fabric is so sheer as to be see-through, or almost. 




Blue Silver
"This is why Simon wrote the line "Sing Blue Silver" in lyrics for the song, "The Chauffer": as a child he read a book about time travel, and in it said that allegedly, people who are coming back from a trip in time see blue silver. It adds to the song's supernatural element."
