Virtuous May 2015
“Dear mirror on the wall, what must I do to be fairest of them all?”
“You are searching in the wrong places.  Outward appearance is but a fading rose.  From the heart true beauty flows.”  
“My heart is as good as anyone elses.”
“If you are as confident as you speak, go ahead and take a peak.”
Her reflection in the image began to blur and her heart was revealed in the glass.  To her astonishment it had been darkened by her sins and lack of love.
“Tell me mirror, what spell must I cast to restore my heart?”
“A spell is not the answer nor key, its acts of true love that you need.”  “Love is dead! Just like my dear old husband.”
“There is no hope for the heart that does not believe in love.”
“So tell me dear mirror, who is the fairest of them all?”
“Vanity is vain and you are wasting your time, but if you must know there is one whose beauty is sublime.”  
“Who is this one that you speak of?”
“One whose heart is pure and uncontaminated, the one who lives in this very castle with you.  It is not her pale skin that makes her beautiful, nor her raven hair and red lips, but her kind spirit and faith in love.”  
“Snow White! It can’t be!”  
“What I say is true whether or not you choose to believe.”
“Then I’ll corrupt her beauty.”
“The only way to corrupt her beauty is by corrupting her heart.”
“Then her heart I shall corrupt.”
More of a dialogue/story than poem, I know.

I didn't see the knife in your hand
When we hugged
They say there is nothing new
Under the sun
I'm bleeding but I'm free
Because someone killed my fake reality
#pain #realitycheck #free

Just when I pulled the pieces together
Best I could
You came in and pulled the string
I should of understood
That to trust is never worth the pain
There seems to be more to lose
Then there is to gain
Grabbing my needle and thread
What is the use?
I should just lock it up instead
Hide the key and keep it safe
Like I should of done in the first place

What is my dream?
Quite frankly I don’t know any more
As I watch logic and reason close that door
Dreams that were once so real
Someone had the nerve to come in and steal
Imagination and hope as vibrant as the day
Start to fade into shades of grey
The roses are dying
I can hear them crying
I have changed my definition of beauty

Why blame the storm that brings life?
The moon and stars give off their light
Beautiful or boring?
Depends, on which window its seen through
On what one seems to be true
Virtuous Dec 2014
Shattered into a million pieces
I can't seem to pick them up
Whenever I so much as try
I end up getting cut
Virtuous Dec 2014
I am the star
You wish upon at night
But what you don't know
Is that you are putting at risk my life
3 days is all I have
To fulfill a single wish
Whether that is a special gift
Or true loves kiss
If I am to fail at my task
To not give to you what you ask
My clock stops ticking
And I begin to fade
Never again to see the light of day
Next time you see a star fall
Keep this in mind
That a beautiful thing has died
Virtuous Nov 2014
I gaze upon thy beauty
Your glistening diamonds in the moonlight
You reach beyond my eye
And become one with the sky
Like a shadow
So intriguing and mysterious
