TWO-FACED WONDER
Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.

Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

Sharp to the touch.

Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.
MIRROR MIRROR
Can you see your demons?
What you hide inside.
From others.
From the world.
Fire and heat.
Revenge and blood lust.
Hidden inside.
Is it reflected in your face?
Look closer.
Look deeper.
Can you see it?
I can.
Do you like what you see
in the mirror every morning?
Is it revealing a hidden secret,
buried deep inside yourself?
A horror that no one can ever see.
A feeling.
A thought.
So repulsive that
it must never see
the light of day.
Keep it hidden behind
your pretty face.
For no one to ever suspect.
What are you hiding?
Stingray – French Polynesia (by Jesse Estes)
The two sides of nature.
It reveals a beautiful face to the world.
swimming in the deep blue ocean,
spreading its arms far and wide.
It grins at the fish it passes along its way.
Content with the world.
Comfortable in its own skin.
But swim to close to this creature
and you will likely be hit.
It owns the ocean
and no intruders are allowed.
This is the real me.
The me behind the mask.
I may seem bright and happy,
but underneath I’m deadly.
Deadly serious about those
who provoke me.
Keep your distance from me
and from all of THE DEAD.
For we do not make friends
but only enemies.
