Eyes shut in eternity
devoid of human textures
retorting voices without movements
in a circular array.
Rising and falling
from the tenderness
of my lips
that seems unusual to me
...
an incantation
to dismember our fears.
I bleed
you reflect.
I smile
glimpsing with shy eyes
at your masculine feature
but my surprise builds me.
I spin in a hazel net
gazing at a scenario
that is highlighted
with an unique boldness
that strikes at the core.
Castles of the inexistent
adorned with creatures
that seem vaguely familiar
a hurricane
they perish
in the periphrey
of my thoughts.
A mirage bloats
a mirrorly confusion.
Rigid yet soft
you stare back at me.
Do I look different to you...
you surely do
but you do not bear
the breath of the mortal's being.
What a shame
you were never born...
locked up inside
as a reflection
of my unsaid indifference's.
Author notes
OPtion no3!!
Here the girl is looking at the mirror which reflects an image that is her imagination...a feeling of deja vu reflects on the mirror as it dawns upon her that she had been living in her own world of illusions.
Thanks for the inspiration!

We all often see outrselves so differently to how others see us. I love the imagery you have used within this piece. Very cleverly crafted and put together to give an outstanding effect. Well done and many thanks for entering my contest.

We see ourselves so differently at different times. This is really a good interpretation of those images which peer back at us from our mirrors.
Excellent piece. Good luck in the contest

see how much i like this? i'm givin it a special place! -
WOW!!
that was seriously an awesome write gurl!!! i'm really interested in the thorught train of this... i mean, it's so different, so spontaneous, so random... at a first glance i actully envisioned a witch staring at preserved creatures that she uses for her spells, among them a man that she had, most probably, feelings for.. of course, it's perceptions.. but this is SO abstract, so different of you, i'm really impressed with this write gurl! there IS a tendency to get lost within the imagery of this, the sudden change of your pictorial depictions.. but i like the thinking that goes into this...
bravo!!!!

very well written
Your words create many interesting images for the reader. I like the mood you create in this poem, and I especially like:
"Castles of the inexistent
adorned with creatures
that seem vaguely familiar
a hurricane
they perish
in the periphrey
of my thoughts.
A mirage bloats
a mirrorly confusion."
Thank you for entering this contest, and good luck!

I love your imaginary! and the title is great as well as the ending. After looking at the picture though, I think what is missing is the rest of the picture, you focused on the masculine image, but nothing about the castle, or knights/horses. I think it would be awsome if you capture the rest of the picture. Great wor
