Cheval Glass

Mirror mirror...why doth thou deceive me,
why art ones reflection so cruel?

mirror mirror...doth thou break with shivers of ecstasy,
or art thou filled with elasticity?

mirror mirror...with thy treacherous malice,
watch thy suffering gazer.

mirror mirror...where art thy translucent happiness,
thy unfeasible gelatinous hope?

mirror mirror...beran me my elixir of life,
break thyself into my portal of death.

mirror mirror...melt thy fear and sorrow
and tantalize ones desire of cessation.

mirror mirror...cleave with thy broken morsels,
ones eager wrists.

mirror mirror...absorb with thy witchery,
ones last reflection tinted red.

** Critizism welcome with open arms..please!**

    definately my favorite part of your poem. this was so well written. i loved the old english writing, it was a pleasure to read. it, dare i say, reminded me of shakespeare. [: wonderfully written! 5/5

    Uh lol I didn't actually understand most of this as I don't know what most of the words mean! :-0
    But from what I do understand it seems very sad. The first two lines are my favourite, and the last two are so powerful! Sorry I can't say much!
