Held Off

My hands are tired

My arms are sore

From trying to hang on

To someone

Who only wants to let go

Labyrinth

Labyrinth Do not fear the minotaur The beast lurking inside The maze is mine I am privy to its intricate design Best keep eyes closed And heart open I hold a tethered thread To lead you back From whence you came Follow it through this labyrinth For I am the one you seek At its centre Words: ©2020LCR Image: No Claim, All Rights to Original Artist Submitted to: Poets & Storyteller's United - Myth-Placed

Bottle the Night

Bottle the Night Do not be afraid Of darkness so deep Shut your eyes soundly And drift off to sleep Like lightning bugs On a starless night We flicker and flare As our souls take flight And we'll capture the moon In a little glass jar And bathe in the glow Of a distant star We'll fear not this darkness Nor dreams that may fright We'll cast spells of love And bottle the night Words: ©2017LCR Image: No Claim Submitted to: Real Toads - Moon Moments

The Heart is a Fish

The Heart is a Fish At home in the water Golden scales Like mirrors Reflecting the sun Heart thumping When caught Mouth opening In the cessation of breath The pink salmon Swimming tirelessly In spawning excitement Struggling upstream Before the moment of death The strange unseen below That lurks in the dark waters With sharp teeth And odd fluorescence Attracting meal or mate The tiny fish Thrown back The elusive big fish In every story That evades capture Just remember There’s plenty more Fish in the sea Words: ©2020LCR Image: No Claim.
