A Mirrored Image, Love Incarnate

A Mirrored Image, Love Incarnate

By: Ethan West

Fire awakens what hate could not

Forever lost in tattered creed

And beauty's soul in anger's rot

Is left one final, tender plea

I came upon her in brightest light

My heart was blank, my soul was cold

Struggling with bitter fight

Struggling with darkness bold

And in six words my heart felt rest

My mind as restless as a bee

My heart then put my mind to test

As I outstretched my hand to thee

But her mind is dark like mine

As if to bathe in irony

She sees herself in dark decline

But all there is is light to me

And so, alone, we share this fate

We are two beautiful things to be

Two souls divine, but full of hate

Two hypocrites bound to what they see

And the broken line that cleans our slate

But ah alas, I am the dark

Even though this, you say to me

That I am the light within your eyes

What a beautiful thing for us to see

[Tai Ryens]

I absolutely love the last three stanza's. What joy is there greater in comparison to finding a lover who has a mind darker than yours own? Awestriking poem; and if awestriking is not a word, then I invent it here and now for use in describing this poem.

[ewest1220]

Awestriking, man that word rules! I may just use it to describe someone else's work. Next thing you know everyone will be saying it lol
