Friend or Fiend

 What cost has this casted belonging?


It depends on your reflection of it;

Does it suit your need to hold on to vanity

Or perhaps, a collectible for your insanity?



Do not be rude or bid ill wit!

What value is there in this reflection?

This golden alabaster of attraction?


Forgive the query – no need to have a fit.

Merely wondering if the mirrors reflects

Your worth or if it merely add more affects.





Perchance, did this alabaster mirror ever pit

The hands of death as they became the eyes

And in the mind, the reflections of seven score of lies?


Were I a jester or pretender – I could say in whit.

However, I am merely your humble assayer

And thus, fear not what you see – you are the slayer!


I shall wait then for you to find me a quiet sit -

As this requires a very naked image

Of the forms and thoughts of old age.


You will find privacy in that mirrored tit

Then what hath happened will become apparent

That thee - is more ethereal than transparent.
