This is a dark little piece about "players". Gargoyle He awakens this morning tangled in rumpled sheets slowly grinning as he remembers last night Another conquest One more notch on his belt She the recipient of his rage and revenge Night after night he sweet talks and cajoles Every night another woman used then tossed aside like yesterday's news Stumbling to the bathroom he turns on the light and stares at himself in the mirror A tired, haggard face in desperate need of a shave gazes back at him Once again his dark thoughts return to the night before and the reflection in the mirror begins to change His eyes become angry slits as he stares at the image in front of him Slowly transforming into a grotesque mockery of the human form Cold reptilian eyes leer from cracked, blackened skin and an arrogant sneer stretches the misshapen face He chuckles, not caring knowing very well that the world sees a different face Laughing softly he turns away from the mirror © 3/6/00 Gary Pence |

nice... just another poem to prove that the world sees only what we chose it to a lesson I should have learned by now but so often ignore  |

Hey, I think I know this guy. Yeah, I know quite a few. Liked this one! "grotesque mockery of the human form..." brilliance, my dear, sheer brilliance. Don't care what people say Just follow your own way Don't give up and use the chance To return to innocence. -Enigma |

Very nice...I was like this when I was about 20 to 25. I outgrew this phase...hopefully all the other gargoyles will look themselves in the mirror someday and not like the image they see. This poem is fabulous. James |

Thank you James. And I did the same when I was young, but as you said, most of us grow out of that. Unfortunately, there are alot of so called "men" that haven't. |
