Whispers silence as the death of love falls over the land,
Again she is dreaming and dancing,
Somehow lost in the madness of all the markings,
Of distance, scars, and mercy love.
They know she is here again just barefoot and wandering,
Twirling around in circles with her alter egos,
While stepping lightly so not to disturb the eggshells.
Crumble and dust her predestinated will,
And circle the earch with it.
Take her hand and capture her smile,
While she makes you wonder if you're truly hers,
Or if you're just envisioning pain in diguise.
Trembling now she waits for you as a ghost,
On another abandoned path wraught with wild growth,
And previously tested faith abilities.
Turn the corners again and again,
And drink of the potions you find there on the floor.
Like Alice's looking glass,
The view through the mirror is simply warped.

Mirror land mirror land
what say ye that is truth
what seek but my inward side
and sighs never capable

Of non teared self seeing
why the words pass the brain
and why not their only
answer

Moving read, well done My complments

Hi Temptress,

Does the morrow really have to be fixed, I really liked these lines,

"On another abandoned path wraught with wild growth, And previously tested faith abilities. Turn the corners again and again,
And drink of the potions you find there on the floor."

Love, Cerenity
