Mirror Creep

From behind the liquid landscape
Boxed against the wall
It smiles when I'm not smiling
It laughs when I'm not laughing
It screams when I'm not screaming

Stop it, I say

With fire eyes and razor lips
With leather skin and blackened cheeks
It spits when I'm not spitting
It lies when I'm not lying

Go away, I say

It haunts my last asylum
It diminishes my quantum
The germ in my decay

Bent on my destruction
Versed in the ways of seduction
It climbs out of bondage reflection
And lunges at my soul

So I just look away

'The Germ In my Decay' What an amazing line that has been birthed from your mind. And I absolutely love the last line. You're right. This is so perfect with the same feeling. Maybe a tad more morbid than mine though. =P

hmmm...theres so much i could derive from this, this speaks like dynamite...the illusion(s) of reflections, refractions of .self. tasteful disgrace, the .eptitome. of human nature...hmmm

*heartsigh* Oh, Troy.. this is absolute crushing.. provocative in the sense that it not only forces me under a tidal wave of imagery .. but sets me inside these words.. examining myself?

On Monday April 24th, 2006, evolve (2228) writes:

..and I could thank you or curse you for that.. "Stop it, I say" as an unseen pendulum knocks me in the thick of my skull.. and as the last line claws at my eyelids.. while the rest carves an itch up my spine.

On Monday April 24th, 2006, evolve (2228) writes:

So I think I'll do both? Fucking Troy, thank you for this.. and the fact that it is so real.. makes my heart sad.. that it must be just as real, if not more so.. to you.

You've penetrated my shroud of apathy and made a roost within me, with this.. incredulous write. Infinite Respect. ~ June

Thank you so much June. The affirmation you have given me here is priceless. That fact that it comes from a poet I respect makes it even more rewarding. Thank you. :)

The liquid landscape: Oh, what a way you have with words there are so many implications. The ending totally wraps it up

the sinister smirking prick that looks back at all of us, the creation of our own mental illusions...the twisted reflection that stalks us in the night...thank you for portraying that which I could not :) ~sinful~

brain twitch stretch and squeeze... "there's no place like home"... !MADNESS!... peeling faces off the mask - destroying the truths that hide the lie...

there are no more voices in my head, they ARE my head... I huddle in the closet while the skeletons run riot through the house... in the mirror the demon laughs and I wonder why we look so familiar to each other. Our sense of humour is nothing alike.
