I have never
Seen so clearly
As I do now.
It's as though
The cracks in my mirror
Have come together to amplify
What my eyes perceive.
It reflects the light
Giving unreality a glow
And suffusing my mind
With sparkling flickers.
I have never
Seen so strangely
As I do now.
There are little flashes
Of white and silver
Shimmering over my vision
Like snow on a television screen
Making everything
Surreal
In all its shattered beauty.
I have never
Felt so alive
As I do now.
It's as though
Every kiss of the blade
Awakens me
Brings a new facet of my psyche
Sparkling to life
A new dimension
Wholly within my mind
For me to explore.
I have never
Felt so surely
As I do now.
It's as though
Every kiss from your lips
Shatters me just a little bit more
The taste of my blood
An aphrodisiac to both of us
Eat me alive if you wish
For I am shivering
But not from the cold metal on my skin.
I have never
Given so selflessly
As I do now.
There is no doubt in my mind
When I lay myself before you.
I revel in your touch
In the look in your eyes
Golden perfection that denies reality
Allowing my mind to fracture to match
And succumb to the throbbing
That is our heartbeats in tandem.
I have never
Fallen so hard
As I do now.
It's as though
I have tumbled
From my precarious perch
On my tiny ledge of sanity
Only to crumble like
The most brittle glass
Upon the jagged stones below.
But you are falling beside me
And the broken pieces mingle
And make but one whole.
I have never
Known so surely
As I do now.
It's as though
The universe is giving me
All the answers to its mysteries
All the secrets it holds dear
But those secrets weigh
And I cannot withstand the pressure
And remain sane.
But sanity
Is a small price to pay
To see beyond what is real.
I have never
Cracked so deeply
As I do now.
It's as though
Your blade has driven
Deep into me
And now spiderwebs
Ripple outward
Shivering through my mind
And fracturing it irrevocably.
I have never
Seen so clearly
As I do now.
It's as though
Your love
Has removed all vestiges of sanity from me
And left me broken, trembling
But sanity
Is a small price to pay
For your love.
Take this coin that is my mind
For I would rather have your heart.
Ai shiteru, Dwyn.
