The Looking Mirror "Sauntering Transgression"

August 19, 2013

Mirror, o' mirror

Clung upon my wall.

Reveal unto me Life

Or, blessed Death shall befall!

 

A Frankenstein of thought

Molded by the Divine.

A Mad hatters’ noxious creation,

Strangulated by the hands of Time.

 

Gaze deeply into my eyes

For nihility can be seen within.

Perpetual judgment embeds like scarabs

Burrowing into my patch-worked skin.

 

No heart to beat, or soul to bear

Jus’ hidden ruptures of missing bone.

Disinterred and clogged with bottled emotion;

Isn’t my body quite cleverly sewn!?

 

Shall I become an amputee?

A cadaver for the living

To rive open the stitches

That seam my well-being!?!

 

Come on,

Just take a whiff of my rotting flesh;

Here, have yourself a peek!

My maggoty intestines do have a scrumptious story to dish!

Ahhhhh yesss!…

Feast upon my reek!!

 

You are turning putrid green I can see!

 

*Ahaha*

 

Has Leprosy yet flaked away your eyes?!

Show my internal bleeding of which you have caused!

Or can you not stomach your own lies?!

 

*Sighs*

 

 

No matter the motions I stir,

Maybe it’s just a reflection not of me...

Did that thought ever occur?

 

Upon the Looking Mirror

I see my altered image.

Myself, unrecognizable, to all

Entranced in a harrowing grimace.

 

Lost upon a dreary road

I search for my true reflection.

Boundless speculation will clearly be shown,

In my Sauntering transgression of misconception.
