maze garden (Photo credit: entr’acte)
I am lost within this maze
This labyrinth
I am frightened of the shadows
And the Minotaur within
I move forward
Or so it seems
Till I’m backward
Lost in dreams
Just lost
I am lost within this house
This cold mansion
I have lost all sense of purpose
I wander like a ghost
I make a memory
Make a stand
But it’s never
What I planned
Just lost
I am lost within my heart
All its tributaries
Are held circular and I
Return only to myself
I reach out
In deep despair
But I’m only
Touching air
Just lost

I hate that feeling. It’s paralyzingly and I never know how to get out of it.
Yes, it can feel just like that! thanks Charles!! 🙂
Have you considered buying a GPS?
LOL! Imagine a GPS for the human heart and soul…now that would be one interesting device!! 🙂 🙂
Being lost in this labyrinth is like a glass pane being shattered into a million pieces. There is no way out but the one where you have to cut a part of your heart which is a portal to the exit.
Powerful verses…
Thank you, that’s a wonderful follow on comment that encapsulates the theme of the poem so well!! 🙂
