Leaking a Smile

By Aroura Eden

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Filtered stares, pass me the life Passing through the pain Dripping with distain The tears of me The eyes upon me and my lies Can you feel it The smile... The dance that fills the room Violins sing They sing in tune Voices entwined Swaying in line The notes slid into me The smile... Drowning memories of the past Stiffening the heart Stiffening the lungs and the eyes Its for the best Isn’t it always for the best The best always comes through the darkness (right?) The smile... Sing with a smile The smile that will corrupt my mind Corrupt my eyes I can’t help but love this I can’t help but fear it Sing with my teeth The smile... How inviting How appealing How surreal How sweet The smile I see The white teeth that breath The smile... The grin in the mirror Looking back at me The grin of sin The dark that bleeds a glow Fear dripping from my teeth Evil orange flow The Smile... Smiling back at me in the mirror Leaking a smile A simple smile A smile I never gave ( This is a vision I had. The most frightening thing I've ever seen. And this all came about form a smile through the glass. A smile I saw on my own face. A smile that didn't come from grace. A smile reflected back to me. A smile I know I did not dream. Because this smile I did not give. But I saw it in the mirror. It was smiling back at me. And this I fear, this I dread. I will see that smile again.)(This is a vision I had. (Chris you know what I mean.) The most frightful thing I've ever seen. And this all came about by a smile. A smile I saw on my own face. But this couldn't have been my reflection because I wasn't smiling. And I was to dark to see. This I fear from a smile I never gave.) I was washing my hands one night after powdering my nose. I didn't turn on the light so as not to disturb the slumber of another. But I was freaked out to see this face in the mirror. A smile, I wasn't smiling. Freaked me out completely. There was more to it but that's another story. I really have an active imagination. It scares me on accation. I guess just to bring me down to size. In my head it is hard to scare 'Roury', but my head can sure scary me.... ~Roury~ Written February 24th, 2002 © on Feb 24 2002 02:34 PM PST   10 • 0
