The Mirror

As a youngster
I used to pull faces – 
‘just because’ – 
and practiced it in front of the mirror.
This morning the mirror took revenge.

At the rebellious age of thirteen,
I sneaked eyeliner past my mother;
squinting for ages in front of the mirror
to get a fine line in equal lengths.
Now I squint to put in my contacts

Warping the Mirror Inside Out

Last night I drifted between dreams.
The dawn was too weak to keep me awake.
I closed my eyes with intention—
to step back through the curtain.

The dream re-opened lucid,
not as I had left it then,
but as I wanted it to be.
I warped the path of the flowing stream.
Its waters following my lead.

I called to the spirits,
the half-seen

MIRROR, MIRROR

MIRROR, MIRROR*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wearing a green gown, stood Starr~
a squirrel princess known near and far.
   In front of her mirror she did prance
  With an ego royal, filled with self-romance
“Mirror, speak of my beauty. Show me some devoir!

The mirror was wise, tried not to speak.
Thought of the princess as ugly antique.
   

Black Narcissus

Staring at her reflection in
ocular mirrors, learning my
last blessings, creeping past
poltergeists during marauder
inspections while I transcribe
her flesh on caesura, pleading
with the Pleiades for soprano
notes to stay on his alto clefs,
hanging gardens in her image

Obambulate mistress, with
Black Narcissus as my witness
Extravagant solivagant born
from river spirits, lascivious
nymphs want to hear their
voice echo in mountain cliffs
carried by arid

The Truth Teller

The mirror does not flatter,
it does not lie.
It stares into your eyes
and whispers the truth
you spend years denying.

It knows the secrets
you dress in smiles,
the fears
you hide in laughter,
the love
you claim you don’t need.

The mirror is patient.
It waits.
Because it knows —
you can pretend to the world,
but never to the glass.

One day,
you’ll have to face
the reflection
you always

Mirror

My mom made a mirror,                                                  

Advertently A Half-Baked Human Being

Born into this next life 
from the past, 
I was told 
I was a human. 
Make sense, the birth-
mark on my right 
arm hints to me like 
a treasure map. 
Well at least 
that’s what my nurse 
friend believes 

so 

I asked God, 
creation is your specialty, 
but how come a chimera looks 
more complete

Mirror Image

You need not remind me of my mortality,

The evidence is reflected in the mirror.

But then you smugly preach about morality,

Come back down to Earth, maybe you'll see things clearer.

Whispers Beneath the Jade Mirror

Quote:"Lurking in stone’s shadow, quietly flows a fleeting saga of heroism. 
And I, too, swim like that koi—through stillness, I traverse time in contemplation. " --- Zen thought

In the jade-mirrored stillness, scales ripple like silent sutras, 
Broidered ghosts of light drifting beneath stone and shadow. 
Each breath of water carries a hush—a teaching unspoken, 
Inviting

The Mirror Ascends

forest limbs swing wide
tails vanish betwixt the leaves
hands learn to hold stones
muscle and thought entwining-
shaping the first fragile edge

soul entered the fray
moulding spiritual form
eyes afire with zeal-
humanoid stalks the garden
a king calling the beasts names

flint sparks in cold caves
shadows dance on raw stone walls
stories find their voice-
the stone mason stands upright
stone flint and fire seize

Why you like imperfection

If you look at a still pond,
you’ll see your reflection,
but it’s more vivid or unclear to see
because it is not meant for showing your reflection.

A mirror was created for that job,
but why do people like to see their reflection in water
when it’s not as clear as a mirror?

Because, at the end,
people like the imperfect thing
in

SMOKE IN THE MIRROR

songer.co/song/yo0fzxviemznpn1djgo9w8ts

[Intro]
Smoke in the mirror, haunting my sight,
Shadows whisper secrets in the dead of night.
Face don’t fit in this cracked reflection,
Searching for a sign, but it’s just rejection.

[Verse 1]
Heroes crash with a hit and a hiss,
Life's a gamble while we play like this.
Gold teeth shine, but their glow is dim,
Dead eyes stare, where did the hope

MIRRORED SKY

MIRRORED SKY

Look at me and see…
Moon and stars swimming below:
Night’s sea…mirroring…

mystic in the mirror

mystical phantom
grayish shadow reflection
hides inside mirror

Mirror image

Our true existence is in a subtle realm
and as above, so below, we here in form,
with the voice of conscience always at the helm,
having chosen with laws of God to conform,
do not let cravings of ego overwhelm,
invoking in its place, a benign bliss storm.
The trick is to connect with our higher Self,
sans desire letting life
