Mirror Of Your Eyes

I see weird world in mirror of your eyes 
reflecting secrets stolen by calm spies 
who write new fairy tales in ancient books 
that highlight romance of tyrants and crooks 
defeated by wiles of messiah sleuth 
whose clever tricks expose the shocking truth. 

I leap through time in mirror of your eyes 
to cross mountains and seas where the crow flies 
on quest to find the Holy Land of Faith 
where wild desert people worship the wraith 
who sends the angel Gabriel to dark cave 
where I translate song of the ocean wave. 

Birds flock to trees in mirror of your eyes 
from land of Mordor where the darkness lies 
to offer magic mushrooms to the seer 
whose chant in Stonehenge conjures psychic fear 
where Tanaquill with golden wand of power 
hosts Earendil and Icarus in her tower. 

Falling from clouds in mirror of your eyes 
with flash of lightning blanking out blue skies, 
fierce Satan seeks to steal gold crown of God, 
enraged that everyone calls him the fraud, 
and, with narcissistic greed of the fool, 
pursues imperial ambition to rule. 

Stuck in maze mapped in mirror of your eyes, 
cute sea goddess falls to her knees and cries 
for Achilles who manifests harsh rage 
while trapped in lust of his psychotic cage, 
driven mad by his impulse for revenge 
to attack the Fairy Queen in Stonehenge. 

Sailing vast sea in mirror of your eyes 
to evade consequence of haughty lies, 
cunning Odysseus searches for safe way 
to escape island where sweet sirens pray 
while his faithful wife weaves war tale with loom 
that depicts noble heroes and their doom. 

Haunting garden in mirror of your eyes, 
Orpheus catches Satan by surprise 
tempting Persephone with poisoned orange 
through madness of Achilles for revenge 
and wiles of Odysseus to seduce 
innocent daughter of arrogant Zeus. 

Hosting grim rites in mirror of your eyes, 
Lucifer sets rules for who wins the prize 
when world-designers contest in fierce game 
singing epic visions to earn world fame, 
till beautiful Death arrives in lace gown 
to erase me from Earth with laurel crown.
