#maze
bleed my colours into the night sky for everyone to see it would only be a problem if you didn’t see i lay my heart on display for you hypothesize my crimson blood i stay awake, mind laced by you why is the world so so cruel? to know your skin but cannot taste to kiss your lips and then displaced my mind is still in your wondrous maze i idle my days afraid that i don’t have what it takes to pave the way for peaceful change

Mind Laced
I woke up. And we were on some mission... Walking fast like dinosaur robots gentle. All made of metal. The autumn red sun shone too strong... We were almost bird-like steeples, foetuses tip-toeing along. I kept trying to stare at your face but I couldn’t. But now I get it... We were meant to be erasing something... Still I Kept trying to turn my head, and it kept on hurting. Finally managed to twist hard enough, this giraffe neck with curtains... Then saw them. Your silver slits twinkling, wriggling like silverfish or were they zig zagging... Trying not to see me... set on the dream engineered *** of gold somewhere on our periphery. I think... How did you turn your head? Did it hurt as much as it did for me... Do you feel as ageing? Then we suddenly look deep into these dolphin-human souls, retracing our maze of complex inclusion... As our senses are heightened, and our bodies implode, joining liquid time segments of something we hold... Our spirals give out– as all broken cycles crash into a new spate rising spout.

You Got me running around like I'm in a CARNIVAL MAZE, Looking all DISORIENTED, DISTRACTED and DAZED, I Don't know where to go, I'm not sure what to do, Keep running into these DEAD ENDS, I don't have the SLIGHTEST CLUE. I'm stuck in this MAD HOUSE, I need to find the WAY OUT, but If I stay on the RIGHT PATH, I'll find the CORRECT ROUTE!!! B.R. Date: 03/24/2023

Maze
I decide to conquer the maze A labyrinth sprawled ahead of me LEFT I run around brisk corners hope sleeping out my heart RIGHT my stride is strong and fast my hair blowing in the wind RIGHT but I halt rapidly the path drawing to an end I turn around and continue my run but am faced only by dead ends is there really any way through or is this all a hopeless endeavour?

Dead Ends
Look into these eyes Behind all the wicked lies Take a peak at the soul inside A river flows as this soul cry’s Love is a art that can’t be mastered And it turned this heart into disaster A person trying to take care Who got caught in loves affair Love is winding maze And holds the feeling of saved But a simple memory Turned into a person’s biggest enemy So beware Love can the be the greatest nightmare.

Love’s affair
His words twisted the corners so right curved into left, and truth bent sideways, making me believe I was going the wrong way. Hedgerows grew tall, and thick with argument, until they swallowed the gas lampposts, turning pathways into shadows. I walked blind and barefoot through the thick of it, earth damp, worn thin as my breath. Was I supposed to find the center? Was there ever an exit? There was no map, just whispers in the leaves, and his voice, ringing in my ears, a compass spinning from asking too many questions, and doubt, folded into my own pocket. My soul became blistered from chasing after ghosts of wanted apologies, so I kissed the ivy, hoping the walls would soften. but they spiraled, a boa constrictor handcuffing my legs. I took a sharp turn, desperate, crawling on my belly, a soldier avoiding fire, fingertips clawing into the red clay, and found the center, where a red lip-sticked mirror stood, half cracked, words still whole: "you're not the one who's lost"

The Maze
Scroll, post, repeat the trend, A pose, a pout … a means to an end. Skin like scroll bait, soft and bare, Hoping strangers might just care. A thousand eyes, a thousand hearts, Double taps like modern art. But how many linger past the frame? How many even know your name? They see the curve, the light, the tease, But not the scars, the silent pleas. Not the nights you cried alone, Not the ache behind your phone. Why unwrap your soul so quick, Bare your body, click by click? Validation’s empty prize … Echoed praise in shallow skies. Is it power, is it pain? A fleeting high that fades again. Do you crave to be adored, Or feel what love once felt before? What’s the cost of all that showing, If they don’t care where you’re going? If they just stop for a glance … Not a thought, not a chance. You are not a canvas for their gaze, Not here to earn or seek their praise. You are the artist, not the art, A whole **** world, a beating heart. Paint your worth in your own hue … No filter needed to show what’s true.

Beyond The Digital Maze: Part Two
Life feels like a big, dark maze right now. A dusty, dark hall full of unknown difficulties I don't know where I'm navigating. I see helping lights every now and then. But they go dark after a while Every step scares me to death Makes my body shiver and itch I may have the strength to reach the end, but what will happen when I reach it?

The maze
Have you ever been so bold As not doing As you're told? To behold you're own day in an a-maze-ing way

The Lesser walked Path
I'm not in a good place, it's written all over my face with a permanence I can not erase The ace up my sleeve turned out to be a joker with my super imposed face Lost in the twisted maze that is my head space, I'd chase the cheese but it'd be a waste Fear infused with a terror base so potent you swear it almost has a taste The dark haze of my past short circuits any new interface Filled with a technology way out of date but never had the means to replace I watch the life I thought I'd be a part of race by at a dizzy pace But it always made time to come back 'round and knock the taste out my mouth like 808 base Then leaves post haste without a trace before catchin' a case Just one more missing personality cold case, chalk it up to another looser fallen from grace They say to pick yourself up by you boot straps, I'm always breakin' the shoe lace Bet they didn't think I'd use the bootlace to replace the slipknot necklace I misplaced The bright young man with aspersions worth the chase now incased in blue skin wearing deaths face ©2023

~•§•~ Fear Infused ~•§•~
Trapped In the claws of yesterday. Waiting around the bend for its jaw to unhinge. Dreams Of a better time. They circle in my mind. I still remember your voice like it's today. Walking to nowhere I will go. For the sake of going. Let me be the first to reach the end Without knowing. I always come back to you Somehow. Staring at my screen Rewound Start from the beginning Unfound. Let me go On this dreary night I will end. Today I almost lost your voice, again. -Rain

[ In the maze city ]
I re-read the thoughts that used to plague me inside it still hurts to see those words strung into those sentences I can still feel the depression, I can still feel the internal divide I can still feel like that, time to time I re-read my trauma in a blackened ink re-reading it making it sink in deeper, I can see clearer now I hope that in a year I will feel the same way about this maze, I'm in about this cage, I'm in maybe I will break the door down on my way back in no longer tethered to the way that it is instead reimagining what the day could've been with a little more confidence, a little more trust with a little more dominance and more sword thrusts

re-read
One more swipe. One more swipe across one more greasy face. My finger slips, skips down the page. My finger pauses at your gaze. The taste of your smile as it wonders through my maze.

Castle mind maze
Thoughts of dreads came and went. I fell asleep to dream. No, not the infinite intestinal maze with red, slimy, pulsating walls forcing me ever-forward. It was worse. I was in my own bed with a big snake. I was tangled in the covers and I couldn’t get away. Flick, flick, serpent kisses to my face. Slither, slither, as coils envelop. I knew it was a dream but I couldn’t wake up. And then I did.

Considering Dread
Maze of life Does not describe How this reality plays We live or die Bonded to the destiny Take me, beauty of soul Another dread begins Can you save me? Or just a masquerade To show me The beauty of a rebellion

the void.
I thought it was getting easier, But I increase my nest more and more Tangling the roots Turning it into a maze, that only I can see.

Did you ever feel this lost
Staring at the sky Pale blue Is there any hope left Wish non of it were true How did I get here? Is there any place left I can call my home The clouds are pouring in Burning me within Missing in a maze Disarrayed and alone Thought I could see After all I was blind All that I've cared Is nothing but frail How fragile was I With nothing left to grasp Just turn it into ash I'm locked in my head With what I've done Maybe there was somebody Who could've rescued me But I didn't let anyone in Now all that's left of me Thoughts consuming me With all that could've been Non-Entity Please someone grab my hand And run far away Just save me from myself

Non-Entity
These days, situations from the past, Are going around me so fast, To test me how will I react, In those situations where you have to act. Almost the same people, same locations, Only you avoiding those stations. But you're still finding that way in this maze, Even though I'm not the one who chase. Not Anymore :) To get in touch again, It's hard, I know. Relax, I'm preparing a great show. After ten months, you found a reason to talk to me. You realized - I miss her, I see. I will do my best, That in the end we can lay on each other's chest.
