Prince Ekpemandu Poet Free verse

Mirror

Take 
a 
knife,mend 
it 
on 
my 
Face
But 
my 
mirror 
says 
i 
look 
the 
same
Set 
me 
on 
fire
ANd 
my 
mirror 
will 
tell 
you 
i 
look 
better
What 
do 
you 
see?
My 
mirror 
sees 
better 
and 
clearer


You 
will 
never 
understand
The 
kind 
of 
man 
i 
am
On 
less 
you 
be 
my 
mirror
And 
judge 
me 
the 
way 
i 
am
My 
lady 
be 
my 
mirror
show 
me 
how 
to 
love
Be 
there 
when 
i 
rise 
and 
fall
Be 
the 
mirror 
that 
you 
are
Show 
me 
who 
i 
am....


Be 
my 
reflection
Not 
my 
distraction
Be 
my 
correction....
The 
world 
never 
seem 
to 
see
BE 
my 
mirror
My 
mirror 
never 
hurts 
me
It 
corrects 
me 
softly 
and 
gently
BE 
MY 
MIRROR 
And 
show 
me 
the 
true 
me



(inspired 
by 
the 
song 
mirror).......

Kimberly Larocca December 1, 2011 at 5:56 AM Very nice, I love the way it flows.

Elizabeth Wesley November 30, 2011 at 7:09 PM Hi Prince, Such a neat concept for a poem. Mirrors are something to take with a grain ofd salt for we can't help what it says. Wish it were different.

Tim B November 30, 2011 at 6:56 PM This sir is poetry at its finest. I really love the first two lines but the four ending lines capture too. I found my mirror, and here is to hope that all can. Excellent.

Dan Kearley November 30, 2011 at 2:30 PM Very nice...Thanks for all your comments.They help keep me going.Keep up the great work. :-)
