Undressed

She wears your heart on her sleeve

Don’t make her undress herself

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

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

Stripes

Stripes I used to hate them These angry red lines Upon my flesh The skin pulled taut Stretching and expanding In the push and pull of life The changes to my body The sags and bags The ugly scars on my skin That run hip to hip From the urgency of birth I used to hate these lines Because they changed me My perception of myself Into something I was not I was no longer me As I became someone else So I took the lines The scars The sliced up and slivered Parts of me And made them whole Now I am strong Stronger than I ever was before And I bare my marks proudly I have earned every last one Of my stripes Words: ©2020LCR Image: ©Lionsandcie Submitted to: The Sunday Muse #107
