Beware the shards, shattered en masse

Splintered fragments, broken glass

Fractured pieces, glimmered fright

One bite of the apple, was evil’s delight

Her rapturous stare, dug deeper within

He was caught in the fractals, reflected again

The sins of the man, he mirrored, you see

No longer innocent, the victim was he

She promised, to let him go free, on a whim

Then snickered, she knew twas the end of him

She showed him no mercy, she thrived on disdain

The sweeter his demons, the deadlier his pain

The Mirror Reflects ~ #poetry

Locked inside this pane of glass

The world is just outside my grasp

No one seems to see me here

I’m lost forever, this I fear

Stuck inside, this isolation

There is no hope, for my salvation

For those that I have sinned against

This is how I’m recompensed

Kept hidden, though I know not where

The mirror reflects, my own despair

Her Bleeding Heart – #poetry

Mood, faded blue with endless time
Her heart ripped away, a hideous crime

Emotion, dead, from deep within
No longer feeling, the price of a sin

Gone are the days, she felt him near
Now banished is she, no longer dear

He split her apart, it took its toll
Left an empty heart, and a broken soul

He fled, into the dark of night
Leaving her shrouded, in the misty light

Shaken, she stands, feelings uncaring
Red, is the blood, so overbearing

Torn, in silence, overwrought
Her bleeding heart is life, distraught

Prelude

For what is love?

Is it a mere mortal sin?

The yearn for the flesh

That leaves the heart behind

The human taste

That sours a soul

Desire over passion

A lusting, unemotional

Of three words

Oft misspoken

For no better than

To gain false approval

A lie, a lure, pure delusion

In a never ending seduction

Of humanity, a foreplay

Of the mind

The prelude to cynicism
