Lady Labyrinth Poet Free verse

Monster

"MONSTER"



these little deaths
we wish for 
warm fingers 
ignite the keys

the places 
we go to hide 
to silently die 
is where we open 

the love notes 
required,
tinder to burn 
to keep us warm

to bleed 
to survive

In your dreams
angel, hidden
beautiful monster 
inside

comes alive

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

Robert Lindley March 30, 2021 at 10:22 PM Thank you for this poem. I that have fought so very many monsters and yet still breathe. That still am able to write, to live, to love and to be worthy. Such that somehow comes through me not of my own making. I am merely a vessel that opens the pathways and yields to the invisible.. A fav,,,, Lady Labyrinth March 31, 2021 at 1:27 AM I think when the music and the poetry, which adds up to love and romance, becomes non-existent, then we have reached a place in a hell of our own making.

Robert Lindley March 30, 2021 at 10:08 PM Life and love are the essence of poetry. Yet each must face this dark world- "the ravenous monster". Both are shields used by the poet. The sword and spear are the ink and the words. The battle continues. And eternity watches as the Art, each generation replaces the fallen few.... that have gave so much for so little in return.. Lady Labyrinth March 31, 2021 at 1:25 AM Within all of us lives the monster, whether it evolves into a beautiful or ugly monster depends on the exorcism.

L Milton Hankins March 29, 2021 at 7:15 PM Excellent piece, Lady! I enjoyed it from the first word to the last. Lady Labyrinth March 29, 2021 at 7:22 PM I read somewhere, here, someone wrote "poetry is dead". Poetry and music will never be dead in my world. Ever. Throw in the art as well. A person's got to dance, sometime. Delighted you enjoyed. Regards, Medusa-Lilith. :)
