When you mirror gaze
Who’s reflection’s apparent
What see you through haze

Image so fragrant
Narcissus yearned for Goldmund
And love so flagrant

Image of Godsonned
Or the divine feminine
Oneness hits bricks ton

Love of masculine
Blinds eyes to beauty’s essence
Pure androginine

Haiku sonnet not complete
Rondeau shall I now unseat

Image of God

Discuss mirror observation
Do you see any reflection
Or empty visage of vampire
Who seeks to rule over empire
From loved expect subjugation

Inflated ego twists perception
Your shadow lacks self-conception
Sun emblazons funeral pyre
Image of God

Damned to eternal confusion
Narcissists’ rose-colored deception
Against your Light, Draculas conspire
Empaths we all do so admire
Your Immaculate Conception
Image of god
