There's a mirror, hanging on my wall.
It shows me images of what it sees.
There's no bias. No judgement.
All I see is the hideous monster I call me.
This one is rather short
Idiosyncrasy Sep 2015
From the west to the east,
Traveling north to south,
Men pour their hearts
To this fairest of all,
Whose lips are red, cheeks rosy
But eyes cold and gray for
How far and how deep she reigns
Is how far and deep she thinks of him,
She is the queen of hearts
But never of his,
*And just like the queen of hearts,
We want what we can't have.
To our wildest dreams...

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
who is fairest of them all?"

"Human, human, standing there,
please define for me your word 'fair'?"

"Mirror, mirror, in front of me,
to be fair is to have beauty."

"Human, human, in front of me,
please describe the word 'beauty'?"

"Mirror, mirror, listen here,
beauty is looks that catch your eye,
that please the mind,
catch you by surprise."

"Human, human, you are wrong.
That is just your opinion,
your argument isn't strong."

"Mirror, mirror, be silent please,
I asked you to answer but one thing."

"Human, human, I'm sorry,
but your beauty is relative to only you,
it is not something that I can choose."

"Mirror, mirror, you lie to me now.
Surely there's someone to tell me about."

"Human, human, yes,
indeed you are human.
Find someone yourself,
I'm afraid I can't help.
To me you are beauty,
for I am otherwise alone,
but surely I am ugly,
with all that you know."

"Mirror, oh, mirror, on the wall,
it just might be there is no fairest at all."
Impulzez Jan 2014
It started one night;
We talked into the night,
Till after the midnight,
I saw the Light,
Beyond the darkest night.
Since that faithful night,
Now I want more nights.
It’s almost midnight,
Yet I can’t sleep tight.
Don’t say goodnight,
For it’s a bad night,
Because after that first night
I don’t sleep again at night.
I can’t dream light,
Nor snore right.
Sweet One of the night,
You’re all I need for a good night.
Stay with me for one more night,
Let me give you the best Night of all nights.
I’ve waited, wanted and rehearsed for this night.
Let me take you to the stars of the night,
And beyond the dark lights,
Where you’ve never been before, for after this one night,
You’ll never run away for all nights.
Fairest of the night,
Fear not one more try won’t hurt an ant.
Are you scared Beautiful One of the night?*

Its midnight
The best time
To say this rhyme
Desire I only you
Require I just you
Can’t do without you
All me want is you
For me alone its you
Anywhere I’ll go for you
Everywhere I’ll go with you
In me is only you
For I am with you
Now pray this rhyme
For it’s the best time
Cos it’s Midnight
Like that night…
I rode all day,
I cried all night.
The moon didn't glow,
The stars didn't rise.
A comet blazed
Between my eyes.
West and south,
Wind and rain.
Every way is
Just the same.
Pray give me a box
To hide inside
Pray give me a *****
To dig my grave.*

~GC Levine, from *Fairest
