.... Sin ....

The house of a thousand mirrors! Blood, dripping from the corners of my eyes Intently I glare Reaching out within the stillness.... Rippling waters, about a face That I can no longer recognize Voices calling out Vague to my ears Is it there or is it here? Melting forest.... Stepping, unto the other. side Mystical in this pagans moment I look around Blood, dripping from my fingers Once again, I have arrived.... Silence amid the laughter Growing nearer Suspended in time Further I go Deeper, into the unknown Atop the reflections, of this surface The current, of these tilting tides.... I walk among the procession In the house of a thousand mirrors Blood, dripping from my tongue Is it here or is it there? These raging rushing waters Of this, darkened turning sky.... Standing, within the silence of the stillness Rippling colours, of carnals taunting Rising, amid the crimsons waterfalls Now, dripping from this heart In the house of a thousand mirrors The mirrors, of the ever, poisoned mind.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .... Sin!

sins committed will never be punished forever, the sinner in time completes their set of trials in order to wash them all away..or if not, at least lock them away. a mystical write of yours, and amazing creativity, John. ~Always&Forever Lynette

I will go on about how sad some off the poets are on here. I recieved a soup mail telling me a group of poets are gathering a petition to get me thrown out. Now why would they want to hurt me.. I guess it's the name, i am harmless. Wish they could all be sweet like you.. A very charming person, with the most pleasant comments to hand out to the females around here. I adore each one of my comments made buy your brilliant charms. LOL, i do not even know why i am sharing this with you*continue*

Good morning John, how are you on this lovely fine night night. First let me tell you how awesome your poetry is. Also I will give you thanks for your many wonderful comments you leave. I will also add that I notice men envy you on the sight. One was W.Collins who left me a harsh message and included you in it. I saw no reason in him adding and going on how me and you are bad aroma to the soup.. Doesn.t that make you chuckle. I think he envys you for all your wonderful comments******continue***
