MIRRORED REFLECTIONS
(Forever And One More Day)
by Steven A. J. Drake
February 19,2012

Fallow foreign fields. Betrayal.
Falsely accused. Used beyond compare.
Secrets in the realm. Make believe.
Sailing off wounds. Preordained to
Excuses ruled. Back stories. Rights
Absolved. Crucial. Elemental causes.
Run a muck. Defied. Disavowed.
Letter of the law. Studied facts that
Squander intrigue. Buried gifts for
Rights of reprieve. Attrition bleeds.
Arms in depth of poverty's speech.

Shallow lands of strange defeat.
Secular in faith of bygone property.
Sung out of hearts in throes of delivery.
Conscious efforts held in toll. Grass
Is greener than what they've told.
Enemies abound for nemeses selling
Off souls. Ability lost to thunderous
Roads. Victimized heretofore. Angst
Of forgone conclusions. Undertows.
Hollow it be in God alone. Free ride.
Criminals. Off the cusp. Enlightening.

Speed. Fire burning up words. Greed.
Systematically. Profound to whom
That steal success. Breadth of winds.
Tremendous tests. Confiding in whom
That leaves me no rest? Confidence
Torn into dire request. Abominable.
Endgames. Sociopaths. Psychodrama.
Trauma. No fair witnesses. Carried
Over. No childhood bliss. Taking this
Astounding weight. Tip the scales
Outside of liars in the realm.

Make believe. Compelling factors
At of horrific length. Atmosphere.
Tragically falling for their paradise.
No promises in eyes disguised.
Merits in derivatives dared. Stolen
Tunes to the lyrics I swear. Suspended
By emotions poetically born. Staged
Premises out of performances. In
Light of candles burning at both ends.
Mirrored reflections for the man
I am. Forever and one more day.
