The Immensities
"The Immensities"
I shut out the world
and inside me the
deep azurine blue
jumbled pieces
of unread hues
between the
boundaries
of the lost world
within me and you
becomes Blue Sky
Sky Blue
and further inwards
through deeper true
galaxies in my mind open
revealing mysteries
unopened at the bottom
of a lake where there lies She
the Lady in a shattered cornucopia
her body tattooed
in unread stories their curlicues
shining like rare jewels
waiting to be touched
face turned up
looking through
a reflection rippling
the haunting
Just
above the surface
the inner reaches in
to touch the outer
I shut out the world
and inside me the
deep azurine blue
glistens with
jumbled pieces
of unread hues
that extinguish the jagged
like dissolving cut glass
melting their confused boundaries
inside their overflowing
war torn cries and
their stormy unsorry
torrential blues
a new world
inside
opening illusions true
The Immensities
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
" O, wake once more! how rude soe'er the hand
That ventures o'er thy magic maze to stray;
O, wake once more! though scarce my skill command
Some feeble echoing of thine earlier lay:
Though harsh and faint, and soon to die away,
And all unworthy of thy nobler strain,
Yet if one heart throb higher at its sway,
The wizard note has not been touched in vain.
Then silent be no more! Enchantress, wake again!"
