Black Mirror

I stand before

a black Mirror.

It hides, the highlights of my expressions.

Contortions of my anger,

saturations of love and danger.

I camouflage the transparency

by my conniving mind.

In this black mirror.

I search for You,

when I can’t even see

the ugliness of my face

and craft of my Machiavellian mind.

My eyes-blind.

Yet, slowly when I gain the sight

the mirror turns light.

No one can satiate this soul.

Only You.

The truth will be revealed

only by Your grace.
