Members' Challenge # 2 "Jovian Title Sandwich"

I know, the January challenge is up, and I have done up a few entries myself . So get yours in .
But in the mean time I have a little side challenge for those of you that have a lot of spare time on their pens;or just don't want to get their hands "Dirt"y. lol  (joke challenge is about dirt !)

Here goes:A  "Jovian Title Sandwich " -      is done by first choosing a title, the most important part. As the title will be used in every verse; min two verses.

Then choose a rhyming pattern and stick to it  aabb abab abba    mine =abTab  T=Title
Then choose a syllable count, must match line to line but not with title.

Of course the title must make sense in the verses. One can't just write a verse a stuff the title in, if it does not add to the verse and make sense it would make it kinda hard to follow .   you follow  ?

Good luck, any questions feel free to ask !

  •  
  •  It's dark now, never clearer .
  • At dusk the eye opens wide.
  • From the back of his mind,
  • there appears a small mirror,
  • reflecting battles inside.
  •  
  • Staring inwardly, gaping .
  • In pain he silently screams.
  • From the back of his mind,
  • there will be no escaping,
  • reflecting into his dreams.
  •  
  • Is he awake, or sleeping?
  • Could pain subside with a knife?
  • From the back of his mind,
  • it so slowly comes creeping,
  • reflecting into his life.
  •  
  • It's dark now , never clearer.
  •  At dusk his throat opens wide.
  • From the back of his mind,
  • there appears a smashed mirror,
  • dissecting souls as he died.
