Tunneling The Labyrinth
~*Marge Tindal*~

Dipping quill in well-of-ink
darker than before
Tunneling a labyrinth of thoughts
needing explore
Reaching dead-end chasms
that I must either vault
tear down
or go around
Slowly, slowly
I feel the darkness
closing in
I turn to run
...............run
.................run
slamming headfirst into
inking blotches
reaching out with spidered fingers
grasping the quill
draining my will
drowning me in
blackest ink~



*Kethry ... these were the thoughts that came with 'labyrinth'*
~Thanks sweetie~

Marge/sis...I feel like I have explored this dark place lately, also.  I understand and love you too! Thanks Kethry for the dark ink in Marge's pen.

Let the ink flow...and use the pen to polevault over those dead-end chasms..

This I like sweet Marge...(well I like everything you pen)

...I can be twisted and confused a lot of times, but for some reason...this made me think of my writer's block..hehe

I see that you certainly don't have that problem!

Thanks to each of you for your kind comments~
I write the thoughts of many muses ... appreciative for each inspire that comes my way~

Think I'm exploring a series of dark (?)... 'Peel Of Reveal' ... don't ask ... it just comes and I have no mission but to write it~

Time seems to want to move on and I need to capture the moments in my penning~

Bear with me ... I will still 'make the time' to touch the tender beauties of life while it is touchable~

Dear Marge:  Reminds me of wandering in old, underground mining tunnels in Nevada.  It was scary but exciting too!  Your poem has the same quality. Great atmosphere!

Its not easy using 'labyrinth' in a poem. Good job.
I've been in a labyrinth of thoughts too, I relate.

Marge,
love the blackest of inks in this it's dark enough for my liking and gothic enough for yours.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Whatever the color of your ink, you write for many... and do it with excellence. *S*
