Lady Labyrinth Poet Romanticism

The Slipstream Captures

"The Slipstream Captures"



He speaks of donuts
I see right 
through the (w)hole left...

Left side 
window wide open
one eye on you 

the other opines on 
strange stars that pulsate
and the nebulous horizon
 
empathy rests
right side of mind's bed
everyone dreams of Nirvana

what is Left?

Beginnings
always commence
with an End

Lady Labyrinth October 17, 2020 at 2:31 AM "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand." Lady Labyrinth October 17, 2020 at 2:37 AM "The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” Lady Labyrinth October 17, 2020 at 2:31 AM That individual - is our "True Friend"... who cares.
