Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

The Magi Beats Sweet Mindless Hum Drums Against Day's End

"The Magi Beats Sweet Mindless Hum Drums Against Day's End"



The abstract lines 
you hold onto tight
are leaving marks 
in my heart 
like rope burns
the pleasure of winning
by not giving in 
and then some pain
when you walk my mind, 
you never turn away, you stay

My mind
is volcanic 
a salve for romantics
a soiled grave for real living
it is bedded 6ft deep in dreams
and new sheets wrapped 
around us, the notes old
for loving and singing
it’s unforgiving
Love, my Love

A tug of war 
between being there
and sliding closer to here
I kiss and swap notes 
on a tongue enveloping
our secrets you wet 
in the swimming of
hum drum daily exits 
book marking 
our beginnings

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

"Do you find it gets a little easier
Each time you make it disappear?
Oh fools the magician bends the rules
As the crowd watches his every move"

Richard Lamoureux May 15, 2020 at 9:11 AM The shape of the poem made me think of a spine. It’s sad when we allow relationships to become humdrum. The act of not being seen makes being close feel like the furthest away place in the world. Lady Labyrinth May 15, 2020 at 6:38 PM Everyone is seen here. I read extensively, I may not comment on everyone's poems. This place is about 'human connection', not purely about 'writing'; the most important connection some would say is touch - there is something to be said about 'touching' people with your mind. You and many others Lamour'eux - have that beautiful gift. Never lose it, and never let negative comments here or outside of the Consomme, dishearten you. One is never alone, it is just a matter of reaching out. There are some beautiful stellar minds here, who have the gift of touching others - where they need it the most...the heart. Leanne x
