The Fall Of Dorian Grey Poem by Ken e Hall

Oscar Wilde's classic tale of Dorian Gray which I felt drawn to write this poem...The I in the poem is Dorian himself. If you do not know him google his name.


THE FALL OF DORIAN GRAY


Transfixed I stood back
staring at this masterpiece in oils,
Frozen unable to move
as the picture its self stillness foils,
Piece by piece cracks appear
and begin to fall all around
An eye,
a button,
a smiling mouth without a sound.
Suddenly an avalanche
like pieces of descending birds,
No beauty around my feet,
changing into a thousand words
To keep my goal..........
........................................I did sell my soul.
