Sharp

Her words are broken glass

Tempting with refined sugar

I taste their sweetness

And try not to cut my tongue

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

A Voice in the Dark

A Voice in the Dark I know I haven't been here much Rather not at all of late The words scrambled and ran And I couldn't find a reason To chase them I just let them go on their merry way While I remained Somewhat stationary While the world moved on around me And it's not that I sat in darkness But rather that I held it inside A sort of security blanket Soft and quiet That I could hold on to tight Because things kept changing In a way I couldn't control And rather than try keep pace I decided to stand still And wait I needed time to think So the words left me In favour of silence Until I could hear My own voice In the dark
