In Cinema

A movie about horror
Characters playing with mirror
Reflecting images of furor
Dissecting with knives of terror

Villains of phantasm
Heels of sarcasm
Viewers of spasm
Breaking apart like chasm

Stories of apparition
Product of man's illusion
Overshadowing people's intuition
Instinct over perception

Curtains of cinema, wide open and free
Watchers of stigma, cold hands on knee

Lesson of the story, mind over body
Shadows of mystery, glimpse of artistry

I wonder what draws us toward horror? Perhaps as you say, ‘instinct over perception’ invoking fear, then overcoming it. Enjoyed the write, Cliff
