Duality by iServalan for Tale Teller Club
Duality
She stared at me,
From the sharpness
of the mirror.
Eyes black,
saddened by
a life of cruel turns.
Her edges were blurred
by the echoes of herself.
the reflection reached out
begging to be touched
to be held as a mother would.
Always there.
These eyes!
following her everywhere she went.
A shadowed face
that wasn't quite her own.
One line cuts through
the center of everything,
she mused.
A boundary where
light and darkness
merge and pull apart.
Where truth whispers
in riddles to its opposite.
Between the black
and the white,
a world unfolds
where form distorts.
but meaning deepens.
where each angle
is a doorway to another
unseen reality.
Each half of her held
a piece of the whole,
a figure drawn
to both sides
a singularity
caught in the paradox
of existing
everywhere
and nowhere
all at once.
Two faces,
one gaze
a dance in contrast,
a secret held
in the delicate
balance of what is
what was
and what might be

New Shoes and Virginity Lost by the Marchioness of Dorchester 1650 #livepoetry #lust #love #passion
Marchioness of Dorchester (circa 1650)
One day, twas June as I recall
A hue of morning dew
clung to my very form,
with all its secrets anew,
The virgin in me hovered,
though to her I felt distain
I wanted more than I dare say
Dear reader, I longed for play.
A gentleman,
Bold in his doublet and hose,
Caught sight of mine shoe,
So shapely and new.
His strengthening ardor rose,
I saw his longing face
So showed some lace
A shocking
Stocking!
With all its promise of pleasure.
Perhaps,
a new,
adventure.
Entranced by mine ankle so delicate and rare,
His eyes,
like bees to nectar,
lingered there.
I, demure and coy, feigned innocence well,
Yet mischief danced within his spell.
With a subtle lift of skirts, I did reveal
A glimpse calf, for passion's steal.
The gentleman's breath hitched,
pulse quickened pace,
As if Cupid himself had aimed true with ardor's grace.
He longed to touch that ankle.
Oh to kiss its curve,
To unravel the mystery it did preserve.
And so the virgin, her so doomed,
As the gent, up knee and calf then went
To a place I remember,
So divine
A place of plunder unconfined.
