Looking Into The Mirror By: Noah Eaton 2/26/01 Looking into the mirror, I see my soulmate stare back at me Mimicking my movements, my smiles, my emotions The one and only one who shares my feelings and my love in it’s entire I watch her smile and laugh in the glass, reflecting feelings I present I slowly step back smiling at her lovely face, she steps back with me smiling I step forward again, she steps forward that same moment, eager to feel the true me within the glass Just as I wish to see this reflection so much more than an optical illusion To see this reflection image become real, become the dream girl I see that I can hold close to my heart Reaching out to touch her face on the glass, my fingertips tap the panels I slide them down slowly, watching as she tries to touch me with her soft silky hand Against the pearl-stained window of eternity’s hologram, I sway with her in true loves sighting Giggling softly, knowing we both truly have each other, it’s just a matter now of me finding her, as she will find me I open the medicine cabinet window, watch my face split, seeing a split-image of me and my love, my half of the face attached with hers Watching as my lips move with hers, eyes winking with hers My alter-ego, my true loves emotions sharing mine, reminding me I’m not alone As I softly speak to her, “You are never alone, my love, we will be together soon!” I watch as her lips move, unable to make out what she’s saying, however sure it was an echo of what I said to her I brush my teeth and I would say goodnight to my dream lovers reflection, waving my hand to her As I look at her image one last time and blow her a kiss for good luck, before I turn the lights off and go to bed Later to dream of her again, as I wonder if she too dreams of me Looking into the mirror, I see my true love stand there, praying to be with me soon At the same time I keep my hands held together, yearning for her love O’ the magic mirror on the wall, showing me the one true one I’ll love forever and for all My future love, just out of reach through the thickness of time… |

What is the feminine name for Narcissus?   Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. Philip Sidney (1554-1586) Loving in Truth |

It's nicely written, but I can't make up my mind wich way to think what's the thougt behind. Eiter you're lonely and see your mirror image as a friend (lover) or you're a Narcissus who loves no one but yourself. Third possibility: I got it all wrong.

Interesting images... magic mirror indeed if it can show you what the future or distance holds.. we also seem to love in others what we see reflected in ourselves..so the meanings for this can take several layers of understanding.. enjoyed |

Noah~ I found warmth and compassion in this piece. We should all find such imagery in the reflections of our heart. There is a soulmate to all of us that would be found in contemplative reflecting ... Wonderfully presented, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
