Hi I was wanting some help on this poem
as far as the Meter is concerened. I think
I am meter deaf. Any suggestions would be nice
Your thoughts are welcomed.

Thank You,
Bill


When I look into the mirror
I don't like what I see,
Just an emptiness inside,
A view of only me.

The image still remains
Of this hollow lonely soul,
And the circumstance I find,
which I simply can't control.

When I look into the mirror
Tis only me I view,
Alone inside my world,
Yet tortured without you.

Then I look beyond my image
To see your nearing face,
Once sighted it's an image
I never will erase.

When I look into the mirror
I see you standing near,
I feel your body's touch,
I feel your pain, love and tears.

I feel the hand of God
Caress my aching heart,
And I see into your soul,
And know we'll never be apart.

Now I look into the mirror,
I no longer look away,
Because I now see vivid colors,
Where I once saw only gray.

Now I long to see the image
For no beauty does it lack,
For when I look into the mirror,
I see your beauty looking back.


Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

advice*

i am convinced if you are looking into the mirror you would see yourself right? But you allude to anothers beauty than seeing it? why don't you clear that up

feel your pain, love and tears.

The rythmn was pretty good but there it stopped. Try taking out either Pain or TEARs
