Narcissus, with beauty's glow,
Pride within, he doesn't know.
In his soul, the vanity,
In his eyes, insanity.

Self-love in his every glance,
Loss within, no second chance.

In his heart, the endless night.

Reflection and Doom:
Reflection in the water's gaze,
Doom within the endless maze.
Narcissus's path, of love's own light,
In his soul, the endless fight.

Narcissus's Reflection
In forest glade, where waters clear,
Narcissus's face, his own does peer.
With beauty bright, and heart so vain,
He seeks himself, in every gain.
Through whispers soft, and silent sighs,
In Narcissus's soul, the reflection lies.
With every gaze, his pride does grow,
In every choice, his folly shows.
Fictional
Narcissus's End
In final glance, his truth revealed,
Narcissus's heart, forever healed.
With sorrow found, and spirit bright,
He faces darkness, with pure light.
Through mirrors long, and reflections vast,
In Narcissus's strength, they hold fast.
With every tear, and whispered word,
In Narcissus's name, their hope is heard.
Fictional
The Self-Admirer
In forest's glen, a youth so fair,
Narcissus's heart, beyond compare.
With beauty's grace and pride's own hand,
In every tale, he takes a stand.
Fictional
The self-admirer, of ancient lore,
In Ovid's tale, forevermore.
Through trials dark and shadows deep,
Narcissus's spirit, we all keep.
Fictional
The self-admirer, so fierce and true,
In every heart, his legend grew.
In every tale of ancient lore,
Narcissus's name, forevermore.
Fictional
Through battles fought and victories won,
Narcissus's heart, a shadowed sun.
The self-admirer's guiding grace,
In every heart, he finds a place.
