Cinderella
Oct. 12, 2001 ] 2:18 AM

The light bleeds white static:
A whitewash of the greying world
Masking the senses into blind sight
While the low croon of the clock
Moans a seduction at twelve.
The chime of glass on glass
Mimics the breaths of terror
Desperate and harsh,
As the girl whirls and runs,
Chime upon chime upon chime.
She wavers between life and death;
He loses her despite the moon.
Yet she is in a cycle she cannot break
A bleak void where dreams die
In the border between light and light
A made fairytale.
She will clutch her shining shoe
And return to the shining world
And she will bleed red blood
Until it runs white once more.


In third draft stage. Third of three Cinderella poems I wrote. I think the first was better; it had more emotion and was more symbolic. The second was published.
