The Mirrored War Room

"The Mirrored War Room"



We are all mirrors
cloned reflections

The Key of Life
turns

Inside Woman

Womb eternal
Fallopian armed

for Love and War
left and right

Inside Woman

Portal 
past into future

through other worldly 
dimension

The Key of Life
turns 

Inside Woman

The pain of childbirth
a small cross to bear

Soul transported
from the dark chamber

touched briefly 
by the life giving Man 

transported to 
Life’s war room

received through a corridor
of temporal paradox

What Light 
waits the other side?

Soul delivered safely
predestined
unsafe unknown emancipation 

Another soul looks 
for its Self 

In the Mirrored War Room
Windows reflecting Windows reflecting
 
now slowly opening
knowledge 
arrives 

Soul finds Self
In the Mirrored War Room

Repeats Life Lessons
Remission of Sins

Soul departs Self 
Survives

Returns,
Begins Again

Arturo Michael February 14, 2020 at 9:04 AM Like how you described,"Inside Woman" Nice write Lady Labyrinth February 14, 2020 at 3:39 PM ...you might find what you are looking for at the Gym....dance lessons? I hear Zumba is fun. Your luck must change soon. x Arturo Michael February 14, 2020 at 2:44 PM Need an equal replacement Lady Labyrinth February 14, 2020 at 9:56 AM Thank you Arturo. Buried the cigs yet? I hear patches work a treat, but still, they don't quell the monster barking. Many years ago, when I had to throw the effers out, I replaced the craving with water. My body was pristine, elevated. Everything tastes different, it's like your tongue becomes a tuning fork for purity. ;) x and your mind becomes a whip. I love this poem. It is for the species so much stronger than the male. I would have loved to have had a conversation with Kipling. Maybe in another life.

Justin Bordner February 13, 2020 at 6:40 PM You write with a courageous clarity which walks us down the birth path Leanne, and I like how you balance the contrasts of primordial elements in your vision here... "Soul delivered safely, predestined unsafe unknown emancipation...", Emancipation from what I ponder. "Another soul looks for it's Self..." I'm stilled by enormity of that encounter. The war within smolders, and the love within is remorseless Poetess...J.A.B. P.S. The picture above is beautifully dramatic Lady Labyrinth February 13, 2020 at 10:18 PM Justin, I write from the heart, and I write from the Higher Self - sometimes with sensitivity, sometimes with grating brutality that speaks of integrity and war torn truth that doesn't reek of romantic notions; but sometimes, I hit a ballpark winner. This is one of the very few. All the women in my family are courageous, it's in the genetics. I wish that courage and self-belief for ALL women. Thank you for your intelligent and sincere comment, it speaks volumes of the levels of spirituality and open mindedness you possess. Lux Vitae Bordner. Forward ho. x

Ts Poetry February 13, 2020 at 5:11 AM You relate beautifully the strength of a woman Leanne. You are a female warrior, a virago bringing forth a bastion of hope for all. A vast knowledge you gift...xxx Lady Labyrinth February 13, 2020 at 10:40 PM Lux Vitae Schmitty. Indeed it is. xx Ts Poetry February 13, 2020 at 3:00 PM The future is bright Modesty x Lady Labyrinth February 13, 2020 at 12:55 PM I am the daughter of a mother, the mother of a daughter and a sister. A soul in a body. That is all. The poem written for all genders, but specifically with women in mind. Multi levelled in meanings. I will leave it to the reader to draw their own conclusions, positive or negative. Thank you for the kind words and thought Schmitty. xx Lady Labyrinth February 13, 2020 at 12:32 PM https://youtu.be/sVWOZqsIm_0 Ts Poetry February 13, 2020 at 7:46 AM https://youtu.be/bRazgMj_cfE

Jenish Somadas February 13, 2020 at 4:17 AM Soul departs Self...Survives..Returns,..Begins Again.. Beautiful poetic expression of life.. Cloth removed.. Naked 'I' will walk to the cloakroom for another dress.. Thanks for sharing.. Lady Labyrinth February 13, 2020 at 12:38 PM Thank you Jenish, I'm happy you got something beautiful, maybe, out of this poem. It's multi level in meaning. I often wonder if maybe the Light everyone speaks of, confirmed mostly by people who have experienced Near Death Experience, reporting visions of " a light at the end of a long tunnel or corridor", is where we arrive into the light of the world, born again, an old soul to a new self.
