DarkPoetry -|- Twilight -|- Beauty In The Labyrinth

Beauty In The Labyrinth

feelings now exuberant with fragility
lay naked and vulnerable
buyer beware-confusion will never fail
and my naivety may seem certain
but in this world-where mind is spoken
(and never heard-silenced by reason)
naive observations speak just as much as any truth
a suddle moment-i trust-will prevail
in panic-i stall like paralysis
within your mind-holding enchantment beyond bliss
behind your eyes-more depth then the deep waters of secrecy
im screaming out loud from within my silence
beating down these boundaries of logic
fighting off the suffocation
with this longing-kept silent
hours of anticipation-endured
waiting and searching for your eyes to meet mine
is there more beyond beauty and brilliance...
behind the strength of your mind...
beyond the shine in your electric blue eyes
i bleed with persistance for the answers

i like the term labyrinth, it's a term i use to remember a love that didn't feel quite mutual, so this poem holds special meaning to me. i'm putting it on my favorites!

I didnt read this becouse the style(center thing), seem to hurt my eyes. Like a burden, I get tired before reading it. I wish you would not use the center thing when using long lines *cries* ;) Tiger

there is a lot of emotion and truth in this one, i love the setup in the beginging about being naked and vulnerable and not knowing whats happening although i dont know if the last line has really finished the poem for me. nice job ~finaldestiny~

I had to have read this poem at least 4 times. This poem just keeps playing itself over and over in my mind. I like it very much. "behind your eyes-more depth then the deep waters of secrecy" That had to be my favorite line in this poem. =-MO-=

Wow this is different than the style I am used to seeing from you and I think you've reached a new high with this. This is a very well written piece.

I really especially like the section starting with, "naive observations" and ending with "waters of secrecy" very well stated. Excellent job. ~Ryan

a beautiful excercise in obviousness - this is as straight forward as a welcome mat .... if you see a door with "welcome " written under it , and you're scratching your head .... you are simply lost .. even a C.O.P. can't help you .... fun stuff ... fung

You stated something can be so tormenting at times in a way that made it seem apealing. I especially liked "beating down these boundaries of logic" and the last line topped it off well.

I must read more of yours when I have the time if they are as well written as this.

Third line grabbed me, and from then on i journeyed through, caught, hook line and sinker...Silenced by reason, logos indeed. Persistance often pays off. Remember theres a time for subtlety and a time to be blunt. Love Sol
