Merciful Mirror

Merciful Mirror ‘Merciful Mirror on the wall...what is the greatest of our fall?’ The invasion of illusion the greatest of your fervent fall The absorption of confusion the bigotry of your brawl The ties that bind you within a decumbent diversion With eyes that blind you in a camouflaged conversion In your reflective Majesty of malignant Kings and Queens A taunting travesty behind the sabotaging smoke screens In your collapsed cognition of a wandering wasted mind Within the arrogance of ambition you have been confined In moments of reason your thoughts delude in deflections Solitudes in secretion devolving divided dissolute directions In deep and dormant the evil entraps your scrumptious soul In a tangled torment as perpetual puppets terminally troll Mirrors of infinity and infatuation you must eagerly escape Before the darkness and damnation pulls on the final drape Within the shattered silences a delusional dimensional attack Your vengeful viruses will mirror the world of a bridal black.

Your rhyming is always spot on, especially the internal rhyme which you know I love, I would have put this at 3 but judging is subjective.

Winged Warrior Stupendously scribed!! An outer look at our inner selves. It's a wonder that the mirror doesn't shatter! My best to you, chuck

One must escape from the trap of ones own ego and inflated opinion of oneself? I guess the mirror doesn't lie, but we only see what we wish what we want to believe, oblivious to the real truth. This is a deep write of yours WW and I hope I have interrupted it right? Good luck in the contest, not that you need luck with this brilliant one...Maria
