Magic MirrorA Poem by Regan MeadeLiquid silver over black paint glazed over with taint Mucking up what should have been a dream Changing history time and again ripping the seam five words that should never have been spoken “Who is the fairest of them all?” Speak now, stay silent, It doesn’t matter now the damage is done, not time to relent Tentacles of swirling ether rip open the glaze twisting and writhing in the thrill of warping the maze A genie is bond by laws But what bind this being to the saw? There is no sentience, yet it grows with each life it is given What sorcery powers the minds of those chained by the ankles locked in place? Strapped against their own reflection Whose desires are being brought to the forefront? only wish with good intentions but hidden in the font Is a nature not so kind that slight mistrust can destroy nations trapped in the mind Breaking the wisher from sanity to the inside madness Warping their bodies to creatures of foulness Other who beg for life are found soundless Mirror, Mirror on the wall What do YOU want most of all? © 2019 Regan Meade |
