Ivy Coombe Poem
Life seen through a keyhole
Subconscious out of my soul
An image blurred and indistinct
Some half remembered precinct
Idealized but not indefinite
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
Perhaps that's its benefit
reflections seeking to console
Prompted by some unknown inner instinct
Invisible to my soul
Distorted and hazy cannot reveal the whole
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
Vague memories almost extinct
dreams no longer in my control
I seek to understand their role
the meaning is rarely succinct
Some distant star is linked
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible
A stately home where ghosts may flit
Final exit of indeterminate state
life seen through a keyhole
Escaping this black hole, the lid shut tightly
Impossible

Ivy Coombe Poem
You can if you Dare
Conditioned minds, controlled, domesticated
Governed by rules
Mortal law books unique to individual fools
without questioning the content absolute or truth
Each generation bearing their own scared fruit
Unwittingly victims controlled by degree
A creature of habit, a reaper with glee
Victims controlled by tyrant inner judges
spirits marred by resentment and grudges
blame, guilt, the shame of it all, catalyzed fatuous headspaces
the noise of others drowns transparency
Pretending with layers forging distorted perspectives on reality
You can, if you dare, defeat the gate keeper
Shrouded by black, the dark grim reaper
Heart raging, thoughts echoing around a parallel dimension
Look deep inside you will see it is you the intervention
You can, if you dare, defeat the mighty warrior
Who lovingly, with glee, controls your behavior
You can if you dare dance with the demons, forgive and release
For they will relinquish the fight, they will cease
You can if you you dare be vulnerable be real
stop living up to a false ideal
you can if you dare reveal your glorious wild untethered soul
you can if you dare see colors so magnificent
Wrap around you not needing societal consent
You can if you dare release the demons fly free
So i dared to take a chance, I danced with the gate keeper, a tango of sorts
A worthy opponent, a fight well fought
We chassed and twisted, we sidestepped and swayed
We travelled in time, confronted demons who controlled my headspace
I blessed them and gifted them a s state of grace
Yes I am the gate keeper, I hold the key
I finally realize it was always me
