Three Cons

Like a thirsty bird 
I look at my mirror 

For a drop 
Of justice 

In return 
He gives me back 

My own face 
Hiding what I hold 

In my head 
The images of love 

And its sorrow 
And pain 

In my distress 
I sought help from my shadow 

He follows me 
Everywhere 

Copy me in ditto
But cunningly he  conceals  

The fire and the colour 
Of its flame 

Lighted by 
The drizzling rain 

And the melodious
Thunder 
 
After being dejected 
By the above two

And being a bit
 Tuckered out  

I ask reality 
To spread a sheet 

On the ground which 
He does

 But he steals the cloud where 
I kept the sketches of my wish
