Through a looking glass

Through a looking glass
The secrets long buried uncover,
Deep within, they contrast, all amass
The unconscious traits I discover,
How they dangerously surpass
How beautifully they recover.
An unknown essence in starry nights
The unusual beauty, the strange truth,
Intensely shaded, painfully dark sights;
Thunderous waterfall from hands, the wasted youth
The hidden flaws it highlights
Every moment played again the deep set untruth.
Gem studded in sands of time
How trivial they now seem,
The dreams left unfinished and sublime,
Never fulfilled, the tears hidden now gleam
The rhymes of sadness now chime
On the loss of another broken dream
Trapped in sand locks of memories
Seeing through all I left,
Within all replayed stories;
Within all that irrelevant heft
The strange discoveries
Through a journey in forgotten land's
A wide spectrum of emotions,
Through the looking glass;
An array of lethal cognition
Through the looking glass
Dangerously crafted devotion
Through the looking glass.
