Mind is Labyrinthine and so is Life- Expansion of the first three lines, I wrote as a comment on Night Soul woman's poem...


The Labyrinths of Life and Mind

 

The labyrinth of life

and the labyrinth of mind

inter-twine to create a maze

that is difficult to define...

 

Memories of yore

Fragments of anguish

Burning to core

 

Strings of experiences

knotted together

to create a mesh

through which

Life sieves through…

 

Dreams of love, like

birds soaring high

Falling flat on the face

Shattering to pieces

that can’t be put together

to create a whole,

A whole you…

 

Fragments of broken heart

A kaleidoscope of scars

of painful colours and hues

Of golden desires muted

by the Time’s cruel hand…

 

All inter-twine

To create a maze

Difficult to define

 

The labyrinth of life

And the labyrinth of mind

Injure the heart

So tender,

So vulnerable

So innocent,

So divine…
