Regnarts

I looked at the Stranger, and the stranger back at me.

I asked him many questions, of things I couldn't see.

I asked him of the nature of man, and so I was told

Of Lust beyond flesh, of Greed beyond gold.

He spoke of impossibilities, of stars so far beyond

He ranted improbabilities, of how the Universe was spawned

He answered things which did not matter, for I asked those questions too

He spoke rarely of himself, but spoke oft of those he knew

The man beyond the barrier, his eyes as calm as stone

reached forward to hand me a scepter of gnarled bone

He said this is your legacy, this is what you'll leave behind

I asked what of my progeny? "They don't exist yet" he sighed

What of my destiny?I screamed in rage

We haven't quite yet reached that page

Why must you mock me so?!

Why not? came the chuckle, which was echoed below

I see now the trickster before me, I can see through his lies

Tis not whom i thought it but a demon in disguise

With a violent tremor the barrier breaks, shattered from both sides simultaneously

Shards of glass attack , trying to enter intravenously

I sit sobbing in the bathroom, the mirror shattered all around

7 more years of bad luck is all that could be found

A failed attempt at self actualization

A figment of my psychosis, masquerading as my salvation
