Do You Dare?

To paint with colours brighter than
The lights reflecting from your prism
Of hearts.
Of beautifully grotesque masks,
Twisting, glaring and teasing as
You search for hidden wishes.
To venture into musical and
Seductive night, hoping to grasp
Its beauty.

Do you dare

For considerable heights only achieved
By the touch of a gem so fragile
You lose its true purpose.
To jump into the illusion of
Monstrosity, only to reveal its true
Loneliness.
Of thoughts and feelings gnawing,
Clawing at one another, until
Their true intentions are found.

Do you dare

To look inward at the mirror
You have painted for yourself, just
So you could shatter its lies.
For the purity to seep into your
Ever empty life and free the you
That is you, from the Earth with
Ingenuity.
