This Marble Reflection
T J Rintoull

Deeper than water
Than old Circe's fountain
Such a loss
Dire and fearsome
Calloused and terror-filled
I am
Holiest sunbeam
Every morning
Burns my face
Staring up at you
This marble reflection
Sundered time
Dying but reborn again
I'll see it through
Pain is only momentary
I am new

All you are
Is another deception to someone
Who in the end
Was the light that made your day
And you're only gonna do it again
Sunburnt and tall
Gazing at the wonder
Just a marble reflection of man
To be slowly stripped of another passing day

Eyeless and weary
Standing forever
Still and betrayed
A beacon to haunted
Curious souls
Disguised as day
I'm whispering darkness
You're reaching to make me
Take your place
An offer to die for
A harboured retention
To never fade

Hammer in my hand I'll make it right
For you
Smash this statue down and set you free
In bloom

"Get past the personal and use your weapons to construct a world for me, rather than spewing bile, angst, depression, sorrow or love. None of those are handled well in poerty except by the very, very few aliens among us such as Neruda. You've got great tools. Sharpen them carefully and slice open the veil of your reality to show me a piece that does not have the taste of adolescence. I do like to read you. " -- dee.
"Okay - harsh, maybe a little, but I understand what you're saying. Thanks - constructive criticism is a rare thing to receive. Good to have some :)" -- TJ.
