.... 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***
