PIECES OF YOU
The midnight sun shines brightly
Within the darkness of your eyes
You wear the mask of innocence
But I can see through your disguise
You are the girl of a thousand faces
Each with a different look to suit your mood
Variety is the spice of your life
But which of these faces is the real you
You are such a mystery to me
And I’m forever searching for clues
In the jig-saw puzzle that is your world
All I have are these pieces of you

About the Book
In “Through a Glass Darkly” the author lets the poetry of the mysterious Persephone tell the tale of three High School students who are caught up in a love triangle. Sebestian, who is love with Randolyn, is unsure of how to court her. So he enlists the services of their mutual friend, the sorceress Persephone. Persephone is sympathetic to Sebestian’s plight and so she devises a way for him to win Randolyn’s affection. She composes a series of poems for Sebestian to present to Randolyn as if he had written them himself. However, in the process of creating these poems, Persephone discovers that she too has fallen in love with Randolyn.
Taken from the pages of Persephone’s diary, “Through a Glass Darkly”, chronicles the emotional ups and downs of her tragic one-sided love affair with Randolyn. In this contemporary interpretation of the classic “Cyrano de Bergerac”, the author, through the poetry of Persephone, demonstrates the difficulty of separating fantasy from reality when dealing with matters of the heart.
