The Mirror

The Dark glass of a mirror calls to me
It's ornately carved frame chipped
And worn by age.
And as I stop to admire myself
I notice something strange.
A face within mine so different
Yet almost the same.
I step back in fear from the horrible sight
There's another in the mirror,
Their face along side mine.
Who is that staring back at me
In the mirror as I pass by?
With that smile and that knowing stare
Who's movements sometimes mimic mine.
Should I be afraid or trust in thee?
Are you a messenger, guide, or angel fair?
Are you a friend or should I beware?
How will I know? Is there some sign?
The mirror shimmers and then it shines
With a light so bright and a warmth that engulfs
I feel love. I feel peace. I feel strength and hope.

The light fades away, but now I know
You're a friend for only me to know.
I touch your face, you smile and wink
I turn and leave, afraid no more.
With secrets learned and much to share
Just how much you love and how much you care.



Insane


Watching

Do you see them?
I know there watching
I feel the hairs prickle
On the back of my neck.
Did you hear that?
Now there comming
Closer to me with every step



Shadows

Dark shadows just out of sight.
Floating gently in the night
Are you just my imagination
Or are you here to give me a fright?
Well Damn it STOP!

I don't need this
Ghosties down the hall
Opening windows, walking through walls
Didn't you hear me?
I said GO AWAY!

You leave me at peace all through the day
Why must you torment
My soul at night?
Ghosties down the hall
Floating gently out of sight.
