Pearls Cannot Seal Your Reflection ✧
June 1st, 2022I shall sit, yearning for mental reflection to encapsulate projection. For whom to light a spark in the wick? Must my indolence snuff out a potential promise? A glance at what once lay a decorative mirror, a thousand glistening halos embellish the crown of my head. The dusty memories are wiped from cracks so nonchalantly, yet, the milky satin cloth tucks the grains of dialogue neatly in sealed crevices. I can nearly remember my name—my purpose. I've rested on the other side of this reflection, alas, those memories shall dawn no longer. What will become of the golden frame configuring the lost soul in the mirror? Its use of enchantment drips slowly, like honey departing from the well outside.I shall ponder, to be aspiring, grace's alternative to desiring. I rise to my feet as the silky lace tickles the rear of my ankle. Shards of selenite crystals brush through my hair, never allowing me a departure from this meditative state. Oils ooze from the thorns on rose wallpaper, engulfing the scent of budding vanilla paired with rubbed raw pearls. The beader who strung the pearls—never failing to string emotions to my words—tells me to melt into my wings. So find me, gently tugging on the thread, as the mistress unfolds my truth which ruffles in sensitivity. Pursue my heart, delicately bleeding in my throat. Pierce my liver so that I cannot filter out your toxicity from my veins. Puncture my lungs for me to float atop the river in which you intimately dump my corpse. For in your mind, I am the most beautiful when I am silenced.I shall write, longing for your ink; to my paper heart, it is belonging. I bid thee farewell in my poem of love, blood-traced lips pressing into folds as an illustration of my gratitude. I'm desperately close to escaping these walls and tumbling through the mirror. Shelves of glass dolls observe me, as though they know the ending to my tale. I—in such a way that is rather lacking of foreseen hysterics—dismiss their gossiping whispers to one another, for I crave what my sorrow has earned. Those precious moments I will not allow to be ripped from my gloved palms as they dangle teasingly in front of my grasp.Nearly tangible is the crisp authenticity of this new destiny, limned to be an apple; one bite poisons my heart with realism. A tug back to reality sends my expectancies flying to my stomach, and I listen to them disintegrating in the acid. The true world ripples in my vision as I fight to melt into the mirror just once more. But it is my gifted locket of clandestine femininity and vulnerability that keeps me grounded; my ticket of safe passage through my thoughts, just not one to another world I wish miserably to inhabit.
