I actually kind of stole the title from an old poetry book because I love the poem and I wanted to make my own version of it...enjoy! Baby, I'm crystal clear, like crystal chandelieres so look at me and see, what or who you want to be because, if you have any problems, I'm here to solve them. If you're feeling insecure about our love, then I'll be, all the currents in the sea, to wash away all your doubts of me as I'll be your sunshine and rain, and all of the happiness, that will wash away, all your pain. If you want to put our love to an end, I promise that I'll still love you, and still call you my friend but if you truly wish to stay with me, then I'll be, your lock and key. If you're angry with me, I'll be, the smile that makes you happy. If you're feeling lonely tonight, I'll be the image on the other side, that will accompany you tonight. If you think that you're ugly, I'll shine a light on your insides, and make you see, that you're pretty. Whatever the case maybe, I can make it better because I'm your mirror, and I want our love, to reflect forever. |

Wow...this is spectacular...not sure what the original poem was but it certainly inspired a beautiful piece of work from you...I was going to pick my favorite lines...but there is just no way to narrow it down...and the ending left a lasting and perfect vision. |

 This is great! More than shining a little light on the subject, I want to reflect the positive in people too. Very fortunate is the person who has a mirror like this one... Bob <>< |

Wow, thank all three of you for responding to my poem...I knew the poem was good but I dindn't expect these great responses I've recieved though...and the original poem and mine well, the only similarities we share, is our titles...you can believe that because, I wouldn't plagerize someone else's work especially when I wanna brag and take full credit of something I wrote.....I'm all about originality these days and you can believe that!(smiles) Thanks for your comments and have a wonderful day!

i am impressed! i like the flow and rhythm of this SO much. it's absolutely COOL. the theme you've borrowed is an awesome one and i like the spin you've given it. it's a very enchanting theme, the mirrors and all. i just dig this one. good stuff. I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates who said, "I drank what?" |

Wow, you have no idea how this poem touched me. What a beautiful declaration of unconditional love... just what I needed to hear today, to know feelings like this are out there. Amazing. Azure "I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much" - Sandra Cisneros |

Nate, that was so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm gonna cry b/c I've never really read anything that sweet b4. Morning rain fell on my window, and I can't see at all. Even if I could it would all be gray, put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not |
