Proper Thanks

My heart's a sleeper cell.

It's as sleepless as hell,

But here is where I rest...

A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Come.

Com'on!

Don't be frightened.

I promise

- it's quite Shakespearean.

More like Marlowe's Dr. Faustus.

No pentagram,

Just a madman's ventures

For virtue and sin.

Let me in.

But it's dark here...

Blackened soul,

So no need for a blackened mirror

When dwelling on reflections.

I seek metamorphosis as did Ovid,

While resisting Mephistopheles...

I love this especially the first part " my minds a sleeper cell as sleepless as hell". It reminds me of my mind when there are a million things whizzing around inside and i can't sleep. I also liked this bit "just a madman's ventures for virtue and sin". It reminds me that everyone seeks adventure in their life.

Nicely said Stacey, that is what I was going for when I wrote that line. The madness within...

I liked the twist of thoughts leading to nice ending. You led the reader on a wild ride to a strong finish. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I've heard people compare the computer monitors we use as modern day blackened mirror (food for thought) Nice poem I always enjoying reading you!

Yea, but they have a blue screen beneath which is a different form of hypnosis/ magik.

[Vatsal Rohilla (account..]

A capturing piece. The references- as many others have pointed out- work well. They provide auxiliary adornment to this poem. Nicely written. Good theme. Keep writing.
