O Mirror

In my house as if I’m an alien
Ladies chamber form its den
The mirror of the dressers table
Stays busy as a beautician cable
Dawn to dusk as if it’s a parlor
Except me, it’s in house wife’s care

O Mirror who you are factually
Where you are from genetically
I know you are not Aphrodite 
But you can show the reality
Of true reflection you have the power
By which we can cover the outside layer 

I know myself by the true knowledge and prudent wisdom
O Mirror you can teach how to represent the self-rhythm 
Your acceptance to all as a pioneer of embodiment guide
As like the true wise you can reveal the un-foreseeing side
With your kind escort, we can make up our whimsical sights
O Mirror, live long to reflect the insightful clear
No disguise, for my lady form me in your nature

Quite true.... A mirror tells the truth and truth only. It shows some things and some sides of our true nature which we cannot otherwise see. It is mostly a lady's companion. This is indeed a beautiful Ode dear Mahatab.
