Mirror mirror on the wall,
show me of my great downfall
Can there be a sight so sweet
As that of my soul’s defeat?
My flag is that of surrender
given over to this terror
This image makes my heart shiver
Hatred flowing like a river
Mirror mirror on the floor
your tricks became such a bore
I’ll leave your shards in a heap
You conspire to crush the weak
You are broken, magic mirror
I will throw you in the fire
Down to hell your lies will go
Finally I’ll be left alone.
{Christian Kane}

it reminds me of the snowwhite story.
lovely write.

Dear Christian
I liked it. Your words like, ” leave your shards in heap” got me clued into this verse… I like it.
ॐ नमः शिवाय
Om Namah Shivaya

Thank you. The mirror poem in Snow White is actually the inspiration for this piece, including the rhyme scheme and rhythm. If you overlay the two, it becomes a bit clearer.
