Bora born
Mirror mirror_
Trapped in a reflection illusions thrust
through a mother's protection short of time.
On her last breath the spell was cast
the child's innocence dissolved in blood wine.
Bereft, the child's world lost in a moment
her inner space filled with raw greed for life.
A siren's curse without song surounds her
the daughter's beauty succumbs to death's bite.
The child endures to become a woman
her beauty unchallenged throughout the land.
Deception refines what lies within her
attributes unleashed by a silent hand.
Desire for youth completely consumes her
in search of the lost child hollowed by war.
A karmic backbeat drums slowly within
to the count of bodies slain on the floor.
The drum beat falters, innocence returns
through the hand of another fleshed in light.
Fearful tones grip terrible knowledge as
the hoop is closed by the tears of snow white.
