Sedefche

Lost In A Labyrinth

Here I am – stranded,

wandering through

the dark groaping

the unknown walls

of an elaborate yet

undefined dream-

scape slowly inching

forward into your

heart filled of fear,

always taking up my

heavy heart and  wearied

mind too fatigued to

want to go on, but

continue I do, for I

wish to see the light

that emanates at the

center of your heart’s

bewildering labyrinth.

Moment after moment,

I come back to myself

breathing through the

ceaseless questions of

why – what’s the point –

what is to gain – is all of

this struggle and pain

worth it, in the end – and

so I inhale greatly and slowly

exhale all those inane

questions and take another

step forward into your

burgeoning darkness;

allowing myself to get

completely lost within

your and your sacred love

so that when the time

of revealing comes, I can

find myself deep within

the folds of your heart.

Taking timid steps forward

as I proceed, I feel a slight

and swift breeze upon my

skin, a shuttering sigh in

morning’s wake inspires the

insipid breath that tempts the

heart to make and in finding

my breath move throughout

life I find my soul washing

upon the shores of eternity

forever lapping at the

fringes of strange sights

finally coming to stand

before the entrance – the

alter of your heart, finding

you were always there lighting

the  candle that called me

always forward towards love.
