From afar,
my manner may look wise,
appearing clear and serene,
but surely it’s just lies.
Upon stepping closer to a mirror,
I gaze into my own eyes,
past the blue oceans,
which provide a well-hidden guise.
It is there that I discern
the cause of my own demise,
for it's as if I were staring
into an executioner's eyes.

Dance with me under the moon.  Touch my pale skin.  Devour me.  Love me.

We are indeed our own judge and jury, and I hope you case is won!

Embers~
I thought about the title a long, long time
before I opened this one ...

Riveting images of the executioner's hood, with the eye slit, assailed me.
I am pleased to have pondered the anticipation of seeing what you had in store ..
I enjoyed the way you unwrapped the mirrored reflection.

Nicely done.

Yes, often we are our own hangman.  Very clever, perfect use of rhyme, message and flow~

Take care,
Melissa~
