Vanity's Dominion by ~DreamHazer:iconDreamHazer:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open




She drops the wine…
And picks it up,
Releasing the spell of breakage from the cup.

And she smiles, twirling her finger ‘bout the rim,
Laughing as it falls again.

She keeps on catching it, as it falls,
Descending a little with the lulls
Of safety that she invokes
With the growing assurance of catching:
It broke.

And she smiles at the glass remains,
Tormenting the shards. So vain
That as she looks down at her kill
She sees her reflection in the swill.

This is largely about manipulation and control. Enjoy.

I'm in utter agreement with Anatolia, HOW can you be this good? And secondly how can you not be a goddess of deviantART with your poems? I mean, if inspirations strikes, I'll churn something out, but usually it's really not that good, yet you can do it with such consistency and, at least seeming, ease. (Albeit I may not be seeing the heaps of scrapped paper lying about your room, but I somehow doubt it.)

From thither to hither,
From yonder to here,
Think of me and I'll be near.

I'm so incredibly flattered that you like my poetry! I've always thought I was pretty good (please inject that statement with a healthy dose of humility, please), but, when time and time again, no one comments...well, you start to doubt yourself. The whole reason I came here was to see if anypne else actually enjoyed what I wrote...

But, such a compliment from someone who writes so wonderfully...that makes it all incredibly worthwhile. I think I might be babbling a little. But...thank you. :)
