Sylvia Plath - On Looking Into The Eyes Of A Demon Lover
Work rating: Medium

Here are two pupils
whose moons of black
transform to cripples
all who look:

each lovely lady
who peers inside
take on the body
of a toad.

Within these mirrors
the world inverts:
the fond admirer`s
burning darts

turn back to injure
the thrusting hand
and inflame to danger
the scarlet wound.

I sought my image
in the scorching glass,
for what fire could damage
a witch`s face?

So I stared in that furnace
where beauties char
but found radiant Venus
reflected there.
