Mirror Mirror, mirror, You are standing against the wall. I look into you to see me But my eyes they do fall. Mirror, my mirror, Oh how i wish you were my friend. But there's no one looking back at me When it is i that is looking in. Mirror, oh mirror, Why must this be? When i look into your cold, cold glass i can see none of me. i see what was, And all who have shared in this sad old core, But i can see not i. For i am no more. Though there is always a tomorrow On life's most wavy shore. For me, i can see not a ripple As i stand here on this lonely floor. I am here looking in to see what image there is left of me, But i can find there is not a trace. For when i look into your cold and rigid stare, I can see there is only an old stranger's face. Mirror, poor mirror, How i could feel for thee You stand here looking out and what do you see? Is it; could it, could it really be me? Mirror, you silly mirror, All there is i feel is your cold icy glaze. Is this all there is for me For the rest of my days? Mirror, my poor, poor mirror, i look in and i can no longer endure. Oh, with my bloody, bloody hands i look down Now, you are merely shards of glass lying on the floor. [This message has been edited by T.Rose (edited 08-18-2000).] |

What a fantastic debut! This really is an intense and wonderful piece, hitting me all the more as I have an obsession with mirrors (the concept, not out of vanity ) Impressive. I look forward to more! Lotharingia "Dreams are life, reality, creation" Miguel de Unanumo |

T Rose, Welcome to passions what a great first post. Such strong imagery. Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Indeed, welcome. Powerful and somethign others can probably relate to, if only in desire and intent. Been there, done that. Though usually, the wall was the victim... |

T. Rose you touched my heart with this one such a sad poem, yet in his images they do ring true. Do we look in the mirror as the world looks at us . Are do we just seem to persuade ourselves of such horrors that we see inside the soul. Just a thought to ponder. thx again TROSE |

Strangely disturbing - even frightening in its intensity. Good Show! Deepak |

WOAH. Welcome, and you sure are coming in like a lion!! Thank you for the read! I, too, have a strange obsession with mirrors. I have written one quite similar to this, maybe I'll post it some day. WELCOME and thanks again!! ((HUGS)) Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken. ~Lil OnE~ |
