Array ( [sid] => 29118 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Vitreous [time] => 2003-12-11 00:49:40 [hometext] => This one is very personal to me. It is also the poem from which I adopted my screen name. [bodytext] =>
Fallen through the cracks
A reject, a defect
A soldier without orders
No soul, out of control

False front of sanity belies
What 'neath the vanity hides
The stone that pierces the water blue
Is the truth that will expose you

The brightest star is the quickest to burn out
Those that are close are the ones to doubt

Fallen through the cracks
A reject, a defect
A robot with no program
No soul, out of control

The mirror is what will hide
Each time you wish to gaze inside
The thickest shield will not matter
Trust not in that which shatters

What is most evil seems most serene
A picture that will break like a porcelain figurine
A mind who's limit has been reached
A sinking ship, the hull has been breached

A window meets force
Now pieces, now shards
The field disintegrates
Now vapor, now smoke

A stone in the water breaks it apart
The stone vanishes but the water is how it would start
Tiny fragments where the mirror had been
But unlike the water it won't come together again

This is a really good poem, VS
Your images were so clear and so was your morass.
Using a mirror, a shattered mirror seems to be the best way for you to appear....naturally it would for your name and it are so near!
This was an excellent write VS. I enjoyed it very much!
I'd be sure and sent this one along.
Warm Poetic Love,
ConSue

I think I'm going to fall over. There's no end to your genius.

Keep writing, or have writer's block,
