Romance In the Reflections of the Steely Green-Eyed

"Romance in the Reflections of the Steely Green-Eyed"



Romance is in the 
reflections of the
steely green-eyed

time stolen and framed
bars to freedom 
champagne dreams remain

the prisoner’s heart ignominious
kept safely in a treasure box
poetry lies laconic in the lap 

kept criminally magnanimous
a hand gently caresses 
a missing mind

pulling out unheard 
singular words 
famished and ravenous wings

flying off the transponding
power lines 
black-feather quilled

screaming 

a life sentence 
singular words 
sautéed in three lines

missing in milky moonlight
softly floats spectral 
room to room mute 

engaging the unaware
passing through 
all the eternal years 

damned alongside
all the voiceless hosts
tapping fingers like a ghost

S.O.S. morse code
on windows glassed over
lackadaisical and frosted cold

on the outside 

we dance Munch mime  
trapped in the 
History of a Wasted Mind

solitary and confined
'til death do us part
dark and stormy vilified

electric veined 
cold silver heart 
feigning tame 

kept on a dangling chain 
a pendant looping
like an aerial display

haunting blue sky’s

moth-life tiger coiled
sabre toothed 
calculating and refined

Romance is held hostage
in the reflections of 
the steely-green eyed

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

Robert Lindley March 30, 2021 at 10:14 PM We live and breathe for freedom. Freedom to choose our own paths- our own destinies. After the basics needed to survive, air, food, water - the next thing we must have in life is love. For without it-- all is darkness and misery. Existence centers on love and hope. Hope for a better future with those we love and want to protect. Poetry is about life, love and hope....God bless.. Lady Labyrinth March 31, 2021 at 2:00 AM Lindley, I had a very interesting conversation with a comrade out of the Soup this week. They believe Hell is here on Earth and that we only exit the place and reach 'Heaven' / 'Nirvana', when we've learned the lesson/s we have individually been given by some greater power; this may take several lifetimes.Why some people go through Hell worse than others, is dependent on how quickly they learn the lesson/s, to successfully walk over burning coals towards a sense of wholeness in themselves, to reach joy, contentment, emotional stability and 'freedom'. Lady Labyrinth March 31, 2021 at 1:33 AM Love and connection is so very important, but 'Love' and 'connection' must commence within the Self first to open doors to the others of like mind, or at least those who want it and you can share/give to them the keys they may be reaching for. I think it is universally about love and forgiveness, letting go of bitterness and hate in Self to open all paths to a better place where freedom is that constant "Love" we all so badly crave and need to exist spiritually 'whole' in Light - some people may chortle at that as a 'Romantic' notion. We are all connected, this we all mostly forget. 'Self', I Am that I Am, inside. We are all on different roads, but eventually we all meet at the same cross roads, where Love listens and forgives, it doesn't judge, it may redirect to another life until the lesson is learned. Robert Lindley March 30, 2021 at 10:18 PM Loss of freedom means loss of connection. Love demands connection. Demands touch. Demands intimacy. Demands freedom to stay, run away or wait for the ever expected hope in the future to harvest what we have sown. Your poetry is rich in color, life, love, beauty, depths that stirs the heart, soul and mind my friend. A definite fav. God bless..

Ts Poetry March 30, 2021 at 7:32 PM There is always time for romance Lady Labyrinth March 31, 2021 at 1:30 AM Some lose the true meaning of that, they have to find the music inside themselves again and the keys to those notes can only be touched inside themselves first, before they play for others.

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 11:58 AM "We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life." Tennessee Williams Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 12:29 PM “A Prayer for The Wild at Heart" - "A prayer for the wild at heart Kept in cages I know how you long To run wild and free To feel your blood pumping To hear your heart beating faster Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 12:28 PM Yet you can’t For you are locked inside a prison One that you will never escape I can hear your howls of pain And your growls of frustration Pacing back and forth Clawing at the bars Tearing at your skin Begging to be set free Your eyes are wild of full hate Your face bears no smile Only a snarl of anger Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 12:28 PM Blood drips from your hands Blood from the people Who didn’t understand Your fearful whimpers fill the air As you look to the full moon And let out a mournful howl Your voice gets louder As I and the others join in We let our pleads fill the night As we sit in our cold cages Praying someone will hear" Tennessee Williams Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 12:25 PM https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_elementals_confession_as_a_peace_offering_1247308

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 11:57 AM "Me, you could stick me in solitary confinement for 100 years and I'd be fine." Limmy

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 11:56 AM "The impact of solitary confinement can have a devastating consequence to the psychology of the people who are affected." Valerie Jarrett

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 11:54 AM "I did a lot of research on what solitary confinement does to you, how you become acclimated to being surrounded by people again after being by yourself for such a long time. It's really a horrific thing. It's definitely worth considering it as torture. We're just not meant to be in solitary confinement." Bill Skarsgard

Lady Labyrinth March 30, 2021 at 11:51 AM "To some extent, all authors are a little schizophrenic. We lead most of our lives in solitary confinement, living and breathing the books that we're writing." Sophie Kinsella
