Mystic Rose Rose Poet Ghazal

A Love That Is True

am I made of glass or not I  see no reflection 
am I solid like the rose do I know reflection 

does my scent cling onto him each time I disappear 
does my spirit shine like the star's aglow reflection

what avenue should I take to get to his garden nook 
what cupid will join me and my fellow reflection 

will I be pleasing or brave enough to win his heart     
will I espy the glass and see his show reflection 

am I made of glass or not this remains to be seen 
am I the cognate of his chamber's window reflection  

forfeit not love for sake of lust, mirror on the wall    
forfeit me not when I abide in Joe's reflection  

transparent as pixie dust, but I'm not made of glass  
transparent as moonlight yes, in my beaus reflection.
