Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

The Dream of Her Untouched Sea

"The Dream of Her Untouched Sea"



Caressing Her tidal pools
the floor of Her Oceans rise
Sunlight through the crystal canopy
shines on Her 
song of the siren mind
meeting the Majesty
all commanding 
they commune with Her
within Her greater depths,
the Emeralds and Sapphires 
of Her pristine sanctuary 
kind and perilous, She is,
then all at once -
a tempest sanctified;
Love is all there is,
baptised in Her holy waters 
kissed by Her grace 
under Her god like body
no virus will survive
There lives in dreamlike state
another Kingdom
that breathes in plumes
nebulous then immaculate
Neptune sees freedom
bathed in light and dark depth hues
Christened in Her eyes
there floating before Her, You,
begotten, borne again
skin wet against Her mouth
hushed and warm
Her body opens and pulls you in,
you are lulled 
by the velvet comfort 
cool and calm
of Her silent reckoning,
the crest of Her waves 
the rise and fall of 
Her smooth satin, 
She is sensuously moist
welcoming and forbidden
enticing you with 
Her serene eminence one day,
the next, you’d gladly drown 
to swim with mystical untouched souls
swallowed in Her voluptuous hallowed waters
salty skinned and hair all tangled 
black and glistening 
midnight blue
like seaweed and sea urchins
strung up and strewn
with ripe wide opened 
red sea poppies 
all wrapped around 
your fingers
no ropes to pull you in
you are caught up in Her 
all around you
you are hypnotised
She is dangerously close
and closing in
like you’re a sea leopard
caught, you’ve roamed too far
a hungry sea wolf ensnarled 
and grinning in Her freedom net
you are swimming deeper into her
seduced, just longing, yet 
to somehow be 
the deeper not the shallow 
in the dream of Her untouched sea

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

Lady Labyrinth October 9, 2022 at 2:38 PM Response to TS Poem titled, "Read" (below poem link), which gave me a certain freedom of inspiration to convert from the 'subtle' darker shades, some Light. Lady Labyrinth October 9, 2022 at 2:39 PM https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/read_1246698

Susan Woodrow April 23, 2021 at 7:03 PM Wow! I wondered how I missed this one and no wonder for I was stuck on an island surrounded by ocean due to Covid lol...this is the best POTD I have read! :) Lady Labyrinth April 23, 2021 at 11:56 PM How wonderful! I hope it was. I think to be away from the horror of covid, immersed in the pristine waters and walking healthy on barefoot sand with the Sun shining on you - stuck on an island surrounded by our beautiful Ocean - would have been absolutely glorious another dimension away, a small heaven. I do hope all your loved ones and friends have been safe throughout it all. The lockdowns gave a lot of people a new perspective on what they are prepared to put up with in their lives, and what they will not; a lot of people have re-set, which may sound all woo-woo, but so true and much needed. I am overjoyed you loved this little poem. xx

Richard Lamoureux May 3, 2020 at 9:26 AM I agree, they are deserving of our respect and awe. Lady Labyrinth May 3, 2020 at 2:00 PM When you consider it on an existential level, the Ocean is a living being, like 'God' strange and mysterious. I was reading somewhere last night, that a group of scientists are putting forward the theory that the Universe is a conscious living entity. I will try and find the article for you, which is more current than this one, which is pretty close to what I read last night. However, the former was presenting more factual evidence. We are all connected, creatures, humans, earth, worlds, universe, dimensions.

Funom Makama April 29, 2020 at 11:19 PM Excellent imagery, so vivid and expressive. I love this piece so much. Keep your pen rolling. Lady Labyrinth April 30, 2020 at 3:59 AM Thank you Funom. I am absolutely delighted you loved the narrative I delivered with the poem. Writing is my dreadful addiction. I can't stop. x

Richard Lamoureux April 29, 2020 at 9:36 AM What an excellent choice. Congrats on your POTD. Lady Labyrinth April 29, 2020 at 1:06 PM Thank you Lamour'eux. I was reflecting on silence, through the introspection of self-isolation; sometimes it can become quite noisy in one's own brain and in the world existing above the Ocean. Surely the silence under water, if one were to adapt a life aquatic, then Life -would be so much easier. The Ocean is a beautiful mistress and she and her subjects must always be respected as divine beings. x

John Watt April 28, 2020 at 9:58 AM Lady L, there is no activity I find more calming than a swim in the ocean. Thank you for the poetic glimpse into her depths, mysteries, and charms. Congrats on your well-deserved POTD. ~ John Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 3:40 PM Who could not fail but to fall in love with Her, she is commanding and hypnotic, all the elements required for a reckless love affair. If a deity were to have a bride, She is the one, they would choose over all others. You have a brilliant last name, it is synonymous with 'energy' and I equate that with Light. Thank you for reading this poem... simple (yet She is certainly a complex being) and dare I say it, humble musing. x

John Lawless April 27, 2020 at 3:45 PM Now that's a poem for the day! Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:02 PM Catch of the day, even? lol. She is a majestic being of Light and Dark depths our Ocean. Thank you Herr Lawless.

Paula Goldsmith April 27, 2020 at 2:13 PM Congratulations on your POTD win. What a beautiful story. I love the ocean. Have a wonderful week and enjoy your win........ Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:11 PM I love the ocean too Paula, very very much. We must all somehow wade through the awful times at present and remember there is such beauty around us. We must protect everything in our lives that exist in this world, not just our own species. I am so happy you love this poem. xx

Connie Marcum Wong April 27, 2020 at 1:52 PM This is a real beauty and a joy to read Lady. Congratulations on having this amazing poem honored with POTD! Blessings xxoo Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 6:09 PM Beautiful story you shared about your daughter swimming with the huge sea turtle. I must keep an eye out for the photo. There is a giant Sea Turtle, it is very old, that lives under a boat shed at Manly Harbour, in my beautiful Sydney (close to shore). It is beautiful to see it swimming in the clear water when the tide is going out. Georgia and I have swum with it at low tide, but she will not remember, more than likely, as she was very little, still wearing floaties. I just made use of the word beautiful 3 times, I shall lose full marks for that...although some might see it as a visitation of the 'holy' trinity ;) ... I shall definitely lose full marks for my improper humour, I am sure. Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 5:56 PM There is a beach I used to take Georgia to when she was little where we used to swim and explore the rockpools at low tide (well there were many beaches in the area where we lived), but this one in particular had a Mermaids' Cave. Totally visible at low tide. You'd have to wade through the water to get into it, sometimes it would be half deep with the children able to swim in it. Pure magic. We used to pretend we were mermaids... yeah me too. lol Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 5:42 PM Brimming with small treasures that we would discover (which in our minds were no small treasures). Tiny fierce soldier crabs, fluorescent bright cobalt blues, purples, emeralds, sometimes flaming orange starfish hiding under large sea-moss covered rocks usually covered in slimy, glistening claret-red fleshy sea anemones that when touched, delighted in spurting small mouthfuls of water at us. Of course we never saw any mermaids, they were all out deeper swimming with the silver fins. I remember both of us being amazed one afternoon when the large conch like shells started moving in the very shallows, like a small bold parade, the sea slugs that lived inside the shells had come out to feed on the smaller fish and miniscule life living in the seaweed close to shore. We used to delight in collecting Port Jackson shark eggs (empty of course) found in the water in the rockpools, some in the Mermaid Cave, or dry in the sand on the shore. Connie Marcum Wong April 28, 2020 at 2:49 AM Hawaii is all you describe and more Lady. My daughter got to swim right next to a huge turtle and took its photo with an underwater camera. It made her visit here. Aloha, Connie xxoo Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:14 PM I think Hawaii would be a stunning place to visit. So much Ocean around you and the beautiful legions that swim gracefully under its surface, and the wild lush landscape, volcanos, fire, life. Beautiful. Happy you loved this poem. L xx

Sam Kauffman April 27, 2020 at 11:34 AM Another poetic gem with lovely alliteration and images. Congratulations on your POTD! Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:16 PM Thank you Sam Kauffman. I have been ruminating in isolation on the true purpose of our lives and why we are all experiencing the rigours of this "Crown" virus. Perhaps there is something much much greater at play here than the wet markets and bats.

Constance La France April 27, 2020 at 10:17 AM Congratulations on POTD, enjoy the honor _Constance Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:22 PM I have been thinking (possibly a dangerous thing, when I consider where thinking has drawn me in the past), we must all have this romance. The communion of ourselves with the Ocean, everything really that is in our world. We must love all and everything and somehow maintain "respect" for each other and everything that exists in our world. This is where LOVE enters the story. Thank you Constance. As always, "Blessed Be". I am very much standing next to the "Blessed Be's". Your pseudonym suits you perfectly. xx

Robert Lindley April 27, 2020 at 8:54 AM A majestic and wondrous new creation chosen as POTD. Congrats and bravo on your very appreciated gifting of such beauty for us to enjoy and be so inspired by my friend. A fav and a true jewel this shining piece most assuredly is .. God bless.. Lady Labyrinth April 28, 2020 at 3:57 PM I am a sheer novice, believe you me Lindley. Not in the ranks of your style nor quality. x Robert Lindley April 28, 2020 at 8:08 AM My friend, reality is --you already do! And often even more so.... Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:25 PM Maybe one day, I will write as profoundly as you. I attempt to deliver something of value in each story, as I know you do. Thank you Lindley. Love Leanne. x

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 27, 2020 at 8:37 AM The world that is greater than our own and upon which the survival of our own depends. Congratulations on POTD Leanne, stay safe! xomo Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:30 PM Ah the tides and the Moon. There are other worlds outside our own. Let's start with our own world first. Without Her waters, there would be no rivers, there would be no rain, there would be no life, go amphibian onto land and consider the burning of rainforests and deforrestation, the killing of trees. We are dead, cactus. It is all rather fascinating and complex. A puzzle. I love a good mystery and I love puzzles. It is early morning here and I drizzle on with my banal comments. Your comment is a key to a lock that needs picking and unopening. It has given me more fuel for thought. Breakfast calls. Love Leanne. x

Arturo Michael April 27, 2020 at 8:18 AM What a Poetess thou art...great write...Congratulations on POTD....you blew the rood off the house... Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:32 PM I am another soul, looking for answers. Trust all is well in your world Arturo. Keep your faith, all will come good. When the student is ready, the teacher delivers. I am still in student mode. Love, as always, your friend, Leanne xx

Winged Warrior April 27, 2020 at 4:46 AM Spectacular writing LL...my nickname for you is Lady Light or Lady of Light lol...Super Congrats!! on POTD!! Leanne...the Goddess light shines through you...and Neptune has your back...best wishes from the Wingster :o) Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:15 AM Too funny and too kind. I must be automatic writing. ;) Something weird is going on, I'll tell you that. Notch it up to maybe some form of "ascension". Thank you Light Angel. I will stick with Love Joy Be, for the time being. x

Evelyn Judy Buehler April 26, 2020 at 10:50 PM Exquisite poem, Leanne. I loved every captivating line. My very best wishes, Evelyn Lady Labyrinth April 26, 2020 at 11:51 PM Thank you Evelyn. I am so happy you loved this poem. Leanne x

Ts Poetry April 26, 2020 at 10:20 PM More than beauty bringing love to life... sensuous and romantic Modesty xx Lady Labyrinth April 27, 2020 at 5:34 PM Hamilton, you need to get a life....in fact, come to think of it....we all need more excitement in our lives. Surely there is more to life than banging a keyboard and whispering sweet nothings to a glowing screen. Let us not even debate the solitary confinement thing.x John Hamilton April 27, 2020 at 2:33 PM Love your coy banter! Ts Poetry April 27, 2020 at 6:24 AM We must go swimming with the dolphins Lady Labyrinth April 26, 2020 at 10:47 PM I am in Love with the Ocean. I am in awe of it, and I also fear it. I read somewhere last night, that the virus will not survive in Ocean Water. Let us hope this is true. I would be so sad, if those majestic creatures contracted the virus. On with my day. xx
