Arrow Masks and Dreams

Masks and Dreams

Searching the mirror where hidden truths lie,
The Alter Ego that prays to escape—
Which one with I become when the Night presses on,
For all are just fragments of me...
Faces float in the depths of my mind
A kaleidoscope of personalities, each just a part of the whole—
Masks to be put on or taken off as the mood takes me...
They call it “mental illness” but what it really is
Is the Alter Egos just struggling for air time
On the TV station that I call life,
The babbling voices that beckon and entice,
Blank visages awaiting the paint to give them uniqueness:
Jonathan Blade, Raven Darkendale, David Pendragon and more—
Who will I be in the end—
What name do I inscribe on my stone—
When my life has been one of charades?

Pendragon

Ghost of Propriety

Shards of bevelled mirror
Shades of crooked canvas
Shreds of iced fabric
Diced to innovative imperfection
Enticed to leading inhibitions
An extemporaneous
Colloquial collage
Merging twill with teetering type
Trite with smoldering smut
Wrecked with onerous billowing
Tacit with blessedly believable
And what do you have?
Nostalgia
That is, someone's hidden truth
Or, better yet,
Just a trick of isolation
Put together for aesthetic sake
With Alice's sense
In a brief world
All too certain.
