Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray : Biography

written by Poet : EC


Nothing like his beauty in the whole world

no, unsurpassed it seduces even himself

this youth is a mirror embedded in flames

everyone might read themselves in him

instead they point their finger at the mirror and blame it

nobody reads it as a statement of themselves

not one sees their obsession as their own doing

no, he is the one, the culprit in angelic masks

and yes, born out of the mirror he lives a shadow life

he, himself a victim, is a muted witness of the truth

as the blood of his victims cry out to him he knows

all of them were felled by the false mirror they adored

the one they chose over the living and breathing man
