Quicksilver Labyrinth

Lost
In the slithering walls
Of this fluid maze...

Is the portal,
To and from the depths of my psyche...
At its beginning?
At its end?
Or is it within the journey itself?

The floor itself urges me forth,
Like a conveyor belt to manifest destiny...
Be it within me,
Is this territory still mine to conquer?

The traps set,
Guardians laid to rest here,
Those obstacles, which are the walls...
That I have built without, and within myself....
Can even I find my way through them,
To save me from the tyranny of my imposing heart?

Thorned king upon a throne of liquid death,
That which preserves its power over my decision...
How can I hypnotize this beast into submission,
When the desire to embrace its darkness is so overwhelming....

Again I am placed where I began by an unseen force...
Whose only name is doubt.

    This was indeed awesome and anyone who really pays attention here will see that it is much deeper than what the words appear initially. Thank you for sharing and best wishes to you in all of your endeavors. Keep that pen handy and ever ready for use dear poet. Good luck in the contest!

    Awsome!

    I think this is awsome! It shows a lot of thought even if you weren't really thinking. The best poems come out when your just typing. Great job I really like it and find it very interesting and cool to read. I had to read it twice nice job
