There must be something wrong with this mirror
It doesn't show the things that I should see
Instead of reflections of love past
All I see are images
          d i      stor       t e          d
                un     f o  cused
Cold, unfeeling and
                                                                                         distant. . .

I remember when this mirror used to shine and sparkle
It was a perfect reflection of the things in my life
All the love and the joy
Images that were
          CRYSTAL CLEAR
                    Sharp!!
Warm, caring and
                 together. . .

So,what do I do with this mirror?
I've already cut myself on the crack here in the corner. . .
Relfections of life tinted in red
The blood not seeming to stop
          C L O TT       ING      N     O         T

Wonderful Poem, and the form you chose fits perfectly.  GREAT job my friend

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

Sven this is a wonderful piece. it is very hard to look at yourself in the mirror when all you see is the face of darkness looking back at you.

take care

Sven this was great  and  the  way you did the words makes you FEEL them as you read  Excellent !!!

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

Oh Sven, the hurt and confusion displayed here is so different coming from you.  Were you just trying for a darky or are you really upset?  Now I'm gonna worry all day...
Take care my dear friend

excellent work here Sven
and perfection of presentation as well.
some times our own reflection is unrecognizable to us... i relate well
take care jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Good job! Your poem was very moving...I think that you should clean the mirror though.  Maybe it will help with seeing things more clearly.

 Love is our greatest weakness
but when it's found,
it's our greatest strength.
