Love and Labyrinth – Delhi Poetry Slam

Love and Labyrinth

By Raka Chakrabarty 

I followed the footsteps, one by one,
Counting the fluorescent waves,
With a uniform rhythmic movement.
I was obsessed with the odour and colour, 
And also the wonderful vigour. 
Gradually, I was led to a Labyrinth, 
Which I wasn’t aware of.
I embraced the fire and darkness, 
But couldn’t find the way out!
Are love and labyrinth synonyms?
Not sure, but I liked the pain and struggle, 
As it had the feeling of guilt and joy.
