Closed Doors Of Perception

Taste the bitter, impotent mind
Fraught with self-deception,
Excised from existence, cowers
Behind closed doors of perception.

Broken mirrors strewn, reflect
Nakedness of the necrotic core,
Torment licks the bleeding brain
Like the ravenous, bestial whore.

Buried in the apathetic, barren cell,
Fetid stench of pestilent conformity,
As blinded vision is left clawing
At the scabbed face of reality.

Great imagery in this piece, I love your closing thoughts "As blinded vision is left clawing At the scabbed face of reality".

I just read one by purr-verse called "exercise in duality" that also used the mirror as a device to explore self perception/deception that you might enjoy reading given your thoughts here. Ciao, T/S

Shredding and tearing work I loved every word, the 2nd stanza was my favorite. Beautiful and heart clenching. ~Kirsten~

i actually liked the second stanza best, the third stanza was very great though, i think this is a very well written piece, that seemingly captures lots of feelings..brought alot to mind..

This also seems to remind me of Jim Morrison, in some perverse way.

I enjoyed the lines, "torment licks the bleeding brain, like the ravenous, bestial whore." These 2 lines remind me of Cerberus, the 3-headed dog. :) You see this every day. Most of us can only think about it. Fewer still can eloquenly express it. ~Shane

This brought me to my knees. Usually when that happens, I falter, and cannot get back up. ~Shane~
