This is a brand new poem, as opposed to the recycled old crap I’ve been posting:<\/p>\n
A Hall of Mirrors<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
My face in your face<\/p>\n
The light in your eyes<\/p>\n
Dancing and twirling<\/p>\n
Growing, alive<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors reflecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shards of glass<\/p>\n
Silver and black<\/p>\n
Injure and cut<\/p>\n
Years of bad luck<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors protecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wrinkles and bags<\/p>\n
Time’s been unkind<\/p>\n
Disease and old age<\/p>\n
Inevitable fate<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors infecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Circles and rings<\/p>\n
Forever’s the thing<\/p>\n
Betrothed and betrayed<\/p>\n
You gave me away<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors rejecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Faces of friends<\/p>\n
Lovers pretend<\/p>\n
Once long-lost<\/p>\n
And now again<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors connecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Merging of id<\/p>\n
Conflicts within<\/p>\n
Shadows and glass<\/p>\n
Handful of ash<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors inspecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Playing of games<\/p>\n
Avoid and evade<\/p>\n
Questions, no answers<\/p>\n
Marvelous tack<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors deflecting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Slap on the hand<\/p>\n
Sterner rebuke<\/p>\n
Slap to the face<\/p>\n
Farcical truth<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors correcting me<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lust in my eye<\/p>\n
Love in my heart<\/p>\n
Could be the end<\/p>\n
Rebirth, renew<\/p>\n
A hall of mirrors selecting me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
