Through the Looking GlassA Poem by Heather Louise Argibaydoes not have anything to do with Alice in WonderlandThrough the Looking Glass
Through the looking glass, I see an apparition A ghostly representation of masculine form A hazy figure comes to the foreground What was once only but a dream, wishes and hope…. Pinned on an Ideal… Grew into Fruition
A fantastical being made into actuality And on the other side the sun shines through the
rain… A window of infinite possibilities…. A view to
that which has not yet become… A greater love than I have ever known… More than potential, better than probability,
beyond conceivable… My fate
And Through the looking glass I see that ever so knowing smirk of a smile That which melts the plastic components of my
robotics Corazon The cyberknetic engineers did not plan for such a
fail safe …. Machines don’t have feelings… And so I shed the upgrades, Trade in the metallic body armor… And unplug from the power source…
I am flesh…. Naked, Raw and Pink with anticipation… An evolved emotive creature, I stand before the
looking glass Patiently my hand rests on the surface… My core which pumps the crimson red blood, now
beats to a slow soft rhythm Longing, Yearning, Aching, Craving… That Vision of you… 2 But Destiny is cruel… She granted me this mystical looking glass… That which brought you to me… Yet separates us at the scenes…. Taunting and Teasing, it is to see you, to hear
your voice… But to not to be held by you…
Oh how this former machine burns! Like a softly smoldering flame Gradually building to an enraging inferno Ready to swallow a whole area code…. (Sigh)
Alas…. the Glass will not melt… And I will not pour on the gasoline… Nor throw in the kindling or add the tinder… No…I will wait … By the looking glass Till the sands of time, dissolve the barrier And the Gods grant their permission And we can be intertwined © 2017 Heather Louise ArgibayAuthor's Note
