The Maze

by Maple Tree   Oct 12, 2013


I've searched my soul
beyond the darkest dimensions
of time,
dangling from a cliff I swing-

fingertip gripping,
falling within a corn field
maze of the future.

I lose the sanity that
kissed my whispers
goodbye in every corner
I end up in...

crumbling, cowering in dark
crevices I see you smile
like a spirited entity,
aching to feel your embrace,
you leave me.

the death of you is going to make me go insane
my Love, and the maze will have no ending....

    Another piece from you that really touched me, you know how much I love reading your poetry and now I am trying to catch up as much as I can, I look forward to reading more.

    This piece is dark, and the emotion is really strong, but there is always something about when you write that touches me. Amazing

    Don't read too many dark pieces from you.. the emotion here was real as well as those images of this person trying, attempting to be lively and spirited, but being lifeless... and more than anything you want to see this love of yours make it through darkness into something substantial.

    That ending line is so heartbreaking, as if you realize and voice the truth that this maze will not end. As much as you'd like to break this cycle, there is no sudden or easy way out. It also made me think the future can be frightening because of tragedies we may never be prepared to encounter.

    Take care and keep hope!
