The Mirror
Curled lips,
cruel passion,
darkness of a hundred hells
is a radiant jewel
burning
in those eyes.
 
Black eyes,
Evil's birthplace,
hatred for all goodness swells
in a swallowing surge
drowning
death's blood tide.
 
Life's tide,
ebb and flow,
who'll claim the final victory knell?
 
Only the darkness knows
waiting
in those eyes.
