Mirrored

*musical fanfare starts* And now, we are proud to present, the long awaited, much anticipated, return of Dragon Poems! *cough cough* Well, anyway...a poem...

I've slipped,
into the abyss,
I'm spindled round
can't see up
not sure if
there's a down,
I watch the spin
can't control it
as circles follow twin,
patterns of lighter
darkness leading,
it seems the
walls are bleeding
tiny trickles,
lightened shades
of black,
a mystery
of mingled light
and dark,
mixed, faded
intricately braided,
leaking from my veins
tweaking in my brain,
shouldered heavenly
in a brilliance, but
a fire merely dwindling
away into the vastness
of space and time,
searching for the rhyme
accompaniment sublime,
whisper me
hope I see, hope I find
my way, not lost
as so often happens
when the rhythm
you can't find...
I shift to see,
Spinning, just a bit
from the edge
of uncontrollably,
I see you, know you
I can taste you,
I reach for you,
as my patience
taps me
on the shoulder,
and I subside,
back to the spinning
circles, waiting is
winning,
spinning
twirls the flavor
back to me,
though I know it,
I have yet to taste,
which makes the weight
all the more bearable
as I spin with you,
never closer
than fingertip
to fingertip,
until you reached,
for the mirror,
which is me.
