Mirror Reflection Just lately when into the mirror I glance I've noticed something there quite by chance There's someone else looking back I see Someone I don't know pretending to be me She has the same face and the same hair But she doesn't look like she belongs in there Her eyes, so like mine, but not mine at all Look like they hear a lovers tender call Her mouth, which usually smiles all day Seems about to ask me to just go far away I see her in a glimpse not for very long It's almost as if she were sighing a sirens song I've seen her looking a little sad and blue I wonder if she's thinking of her love for you Should I tell her that you will return soon Or leave her wishing on the silver moon Yearning for your beloved face to appear Waiting for your flames her heart to sear Perhaps it's for the best if I leave her alone She won't get excited then by the telephone I'll be waiting for your divine kiss And tell you that it's you I really do miss I'll leave her to her mirrors refection And I'll take your heart, your soul direction Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-17-2000).] |

I was just feeling guilty and thinking I'd better get offline and go to work and I saw your name pop up here....so of course I had to come in and read.....and I'm so glad I did!!! I sure hope soon both faces match  Hugs, PepperPepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

love it, the mirror doesn't lie does it? "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Pepper, you are so kind, I know I'm at work too, and it's 8 pm here. Won't be home for hours but if I don't have this as well as work, I'd throw myself out of the window. And I'd never get a bed they'd say it was self inflicted. (They don't let us lie down on the job if they can possibly help it.) Glad you like it and thank you Take care Mushy Kathleen, the mirror never lies, pleased you liked it. And Thank you, it is appreciated it truly is. Circe, and I hope he's back very soon too, I'm missing him so much I can barely concentrate on anything. I'm glad you like it love. It's about those times we try to keep our feelings out of the day to day stuff. And I don't actually think I'm succeeding very well.  Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Where in the heck did he take off to? Doesn't he know it's time to come back!? Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, he's a man love, one of those cases when I have to be patient, which I am lousy at. It's not in my nature I suppose, doesn't help that my puter crashed and I haven't even got his words to comfort me. (Oh I'm a sad case) Still things will be what they will be, and I shall just have to live in the shadowlands until he comes back. Take care Majestic Marsha Who's rather droopy right now) Dee, hi love, how's things? Thanks love, I'm glad you like this, I truly am. And when are you going to post some more, I'm getting Dee withdrawal. Take care Bubbles  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Well, Marsha, truth be told...I am at work when I'm home....but I can't figure out how to be online and connected to the hospital dictation line all at the same time  sigh Had to read it again Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

CoCo, I really pleased you like this one, and I thank you for reading it and taking the time to reply  Amy girl, as I say you are far too nice to me, your own work is utterly amazing always. You have such a wonderful writing ability, and I love your work, I truly do. Thank you for being a sweetheart. Take care Mushy Pepper, yes isn't it always the way, work just gets in the way of reading enjoyment. Now if only I could win the lottery I wouldn't haqve to work at all. Thanks for coming back, you know I appreciate it. Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mushy, yearning brings out the best in you (poetically speaking) and you can look forward to all the slushy work you can write... two weeks after he gets back. Write on Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

Kethry, thank you love, it's true though and there's me thinking that heat brings out the best in me. Ahhh well no one can rush these things I suppose, and maybe I need a few lessons in patience. So I'll be thankful for the lesson and try not to sigh too often. Take care Mushy And yes I am looking forward to the reunion, I'm looking forward to it a lot.
