Two Faced (a madman in disguise)

A verse for his loss,
head bowed low,
“nothing more”
caws the raven caught
telling his lies,
shedding his black feathers
over the page.

Cackling laughter,
a beautiful face,
coins cover her eyes;
a bid of adieu.

Days
used to reflect
beside broken mirrors,
nights
spent with the fallen stars,
yelling at the moon.

There is a conflicted man
hiding behind a crooked smile
where trash can verses
fill his filthy mouth.

Torn between a voice
out of control,
he tries to gather what’s left
of whoever may be lost
in the jagged pieces
scattered over the floor,
in fear of losing himself
to the darker side of the Gemini.
