Soul-Trapping Mirrors

amid muck and mire of a storm swamp ~ shadows dance below chartreuse skies mirrors labyrinth stifles our souls quest; holding reflections of lovelorn dreams, maxims and myths that fall may wreck hearts ...and hope blooms as a fuchsia rose under rain; where valiant words weave in the wind ~ skirmishing to stave off light catharsis, a guiding star illuminates raw pathways; In the mirror, viewing my dilemma and Hades, from a mysterious bane to sangria songs ~ In the wilderness of mirrors, wander lost; tales were spoken through wisteria vines ~ my soul is Persephoned and torn by dusk breathless amid an etching saffron storm; a melancholy flavor of kyanite and embers, whispering waves shrouded in nostalgia ...as time breaks down at my lachrymal leaf; creating jagged, exquisite tracks ~these veins carry love's delicious poison memory cascades over empyrean inferno; mirrorless miracles always have a synonym — ~scented with forgiveness by Nirvana Sailors . . .

Ah what a deeply moving and creative poem that flows with so many deep metaphors dr sotto, i love especially the lines "tales were spoken through wisteria vines my soul is Persephoned and torn by dusk breathless amid an etching saffron storm;" left me in awe of your choice of words and your title is so deep and catchy too! The ending is exquisite! Youv delivered one that is worthy of all the accolades! Pleasure reading your poem today! Sending you light always
