Magical Mirrors

I woke up today
I am sure I did
Or have I?
I slowly unwrapped myself from my bed
Groggy and yawning
I was off to write the constitution
Should I failed in this endeavor
I shall hope to have enough gasses left
For a poem or two 
About who knows what?

Countries are waiting for their constitutions
Ladies are waiting
Or are they?
I slowly unwrap words from my mind
Will they fall into poems?
Or some legal document to make men go blind

The Greeks are cheering me off in the corner
Applause filters down into my quiet silent room
Coffee filters are brewing up my days work
I remove a pink lace bra floating on my head 
Best not Dali on my salvation now, lest I close the door

Humbly, as who else could I possibly be?
I look into the mirror
I stare dumfounded
For I am not there at all
I see something of a miracle staring back at me

I see you
Loveable, fuggable you
The mirror shatters
Out jumps the lips
That kiss my bleeding face
I see clearly now
The emancipation of loves embrace
Strangulation of illusions lost face

The shards of glass lay all around my feet
I stare down enthralled and dumbfounded
For each shard of glass
Is a reflection of you
Each reflection a moment in time
I grasp the cleavage of such wondrous visions

To fondle the true meaning of beauty
Is to drink from the chalice of wisdom
My contemplations blowing in the wind
I smile at the magical mirror

As I smell the sweet scent of breakfast
From heavens kitchen
One very special angel I am sure
Missing her pink lace bra
Bloody cut feet running forth
Into the magical mirror

Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/19/2015 8:00:00 AM Now this is entertaining. You bounced my mind all over the place. I might need to shatter a few mirrors so that I might see her in that pink bra, perhaps the shards might cut the straps and I will see her perky perfection. I would attempt fondling but am afraid I might cut myself. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 5/24/2015 10:25:00 PM LOL thanks Richard!1

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/17/2015 11:04:00 PM my goodness, I am not quite sure what it all means, but the imagery here is amazing. It reminds me of one of the types of poems like Armand loves to write.
