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 into my ears

Is it there or is it here?

Melting forest....

Stepping unto the other side

Mystical in this pagan's moment

I look around

Blood, dripping from my fingers

Once again, we have arrived....

Silence amid the laughter

Growing nearer

Suspended as time

Further we go

Deeper, into the unknown

Atop their reflections this surface

It's currents; these tilting tides....

Walking amongst the procession

In the house of a thousand mirrors

Blood dripping from our tongue

Is it here or is it there?

Time's raging rushing waters

Darkened turning skies....

Standing within the silence; the stillness

Rippling of colours in carnal's taunting

Rising, amid their crimson waterfalls

Now, dripping from this heart

In the house of a thousand mirrors

The mirrors, of the ever poisoned, mind....
