Upon the scant* gateway

I see you
Enthralled within
Comfortable
Adequate

Now
With the darkness

You see, I
Bore adventure
Unsettling
Foreign

Then
Bearing the unobscured

Ethereal enticement

Poetic T
Through the looking glass
Was my opposite
Tears fell upon stained reflection
Fingers touched that space,
A veil between
Shimmering,
Reflected,
Cold,
Echoed movements near the touch
But as one wiped
The other to there mouth,
Licked and smiled at the reflection,
As tears fell, like on a still pond
Rippling,
The other slightly distorted
Loving the misery,
That it caused to its other self,
There were two but only one,
A soul trapped behind the glass
The other
Hollow,
Void,
Desolate,
Of Emotion, it had no pity
Remorse was never felt,
It liked the pain of others, sat back and watched,
But most of all it looked upon itself,
Torturing the shadow in the mirror
A soul trapped between light and darkness
The world and the reflection in reverse.

The thought
of you
interlocked
with him
as
we used to be
drives
me
to pure
insanity.
I don't know anymore.
I live in the mountains
Middle of no where
I'm all alone tonight
It don't seem fair
Yet I see the stars
Shining so **** bright
Every last little one
Giving off a speck of light
Each one a part of something greater
Each one a piece of what's real
I don't know what YOU are feeling
But that's how I wanna feel
Like I actually belong here
Like I'm not living for myself
Like there's some bigger out there
Like I'm as special as everyone else
I want my light to shine that bright
A smouldering sky for YOU to see
I just wish that someone out there
Was making a wish to have me

The mountains,
Chalked with snow, Beautiful.

The trees,
Scarred from past lives, Sorrow.

The lake,
Bleeding with life, Stagnant.

The Land,
Specked with people, Oblivion.
Another oldie I found in my notebooks
Written spring 2005.
