The Mirror Which Flatters Not

The Mirror Which Flatters Not *
 
It is true I am fraud
my moth lips flutter
over dark night lies
my eyes rapt in the headlights
 
All the secrets I try to hide
in a sunless box
kept upon the mantel
to catch in the moonlight
 
Falling inside of myself
where the fireflies live
within my heart
offering only fleeting
illumination
 
How I try to shed the mask
showing more often tragedy
while I grimace inside
my tears are opals
 
A cloudy haze hardened
in stone, just as the
core of my soul
cleaved in two as I try
to uncover a fragment
of sincerity.

Quote of the Week:

The war against death, dear Harry, is always a beautiful, noble, and wonderful, and glorious thing, and so, it follows, is the war against war. But it is always hopeless and quixotic too.  ~Heramnn Hesse
