behind my eyes
another dimension
taps me on the
shoulder, sad,
fearful, alone.
I turn to my
portal. a blood-rush
fear stares at
itself, at ME.

fear stares at
itself, at ME.
my life-vein fabric
surrounds me with
firey red fear.
surrounds me with
firey red fear.
gathering my image
for the taking a
voice whispers to me,
"come out and play."
"do I know you," I asked.
"your face is strange
to me."

"your face is strange

"you know me
all too well," was
the fizzled reply.
"touch the mirror
and step into your
night-tide."

night-tide."
slipping sideways
through my mind's
doorway I asked,
through my mind's
doorway I asked,
"what shall we play?"
staring with
faceless fear I
pleaded, " where
did you go? I
cannot see you."
faceless fear I
pleaded, " where
did you go? I
cannot see you."
no one was there.
in breathy silence
I spun back
and peered into
the mirror.
and peered into
the mirror.
weighing the image
cocooned in black
I gathered my face
for the taking:
cocooned in black
I gathered my face
for the taking:
and from kindled lips
I hissed to the
captured voice,
"you won't go ANYWHERE.
come out to
play!"
I hissed to the
captured voice,
"you won't go ANYWHERE.
come out to
play!"
