it is your beauty it denies
when you let yourself be deceived
by the mirror's veil of disguise
that only you, ever believed

but how you're viewed through other's lives
will tell how you really appear
not the myth the mirror contrives
that's built on your self-doubt and fear

deceptions, in your mirror's lies
can not alter what I have seen
like your reflection, that my eyes
finds beautiful beyond my dreams

when your mirror shows otherwise
changing the image you perceive
just remember, the mirror lies
but my vision you can believe.

this is a repost of my first post, since my return home here. Thank you all for the warm welcome I received here from everyone. I know am with my "family" when I am here among my brother and sister poets. I won't be going away again......

The mirror and I have been having an argument for years. Very nice poem depicting the mysteries and treachery of this inanimate thing.

Pleasure meeting you Jason, and a pleasure

Thank You....

Let me not deceive you with my kindness
But your words reflect
Such grace and beauty
In which has left me spellbound..

This one left me inspired, but of course you know that since I added a poem reply to it somewhere else.

Welcome home, Sir Silverthorne.

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.
