Glass Doll
LKChoi's Poetry CollectionPowder, creating false porcelain
Masking the blemishes and scars
A thin sheet of warm snow
A touch of cherry
Smooth and crackless
Tempting kiss of rose petals
Shadowed windows to the soul
Dark mist upon the pane
Artificial sapphire piercing the darkness
Threaded ebony cascade overlay the back
Arms and chest cloaked by silk lace
Corset shielding the waist
Belled skirts spread out widely covering the rest
The doll escapes her box
To join the masquerade
The moon welcomes her brightly
As the nightingales play a symphony
She danced with reckless abandon
But the melody began to fade
And everything else around her
Seperated from her delusion
Her eyes drenched in tears
Lips parted by low cracked cries
She never left the box
And the darkness knew her face
Flawed
Defective
Transparent
