Short Florette Poems

like the objects in the mirror
did you only appear nearer
now broken and seven years cursed
 i feel foolish my heart coerced
and still nothing about us is any clearer

the  mirror looking back at me
old and cracking with age I see
how many stories could it tell
those of heaven and those of hell
through  all  the years the stories of this family

Mirror, mirror on bathroom wall
bring back the face that I recall
when I was young, full of vigor
and was happy with my figure,
before all of me needed a big overhaul.

Who’s that old guy in the mirror?
That cannot be this young guy here!
I don’t remember growing old,
Gaining weight, and feeling the cold.
Seems that time has gotten away from me, I fear.

shattered, I lie in small pieces
ignored, my pain more increases
whole, I coveted all beauty
as if it was sacred duty
if you are careless too, may bleed in crevices

A writer’s two-way mirror

Unseen, I watched the live actor.
My eyes followed every gesture.
Speckled realities captured
My senses re-manufactured. 
Next time I will remain a mere spectator.

she flutters amidst heaven’s sky

to wink on boughs, a lullaby---

her glass-like wings adorn a night

imaging love's sway to delight

the fancy of kisses woven by queen firefly

In the mirror, she does see,
Someone unhappy, as can be.
Stands there,  tears are leaving wet streaks.
Her depression snuck in this week,
Because of past memories she cannot erase.

His glass-stained eyes saw things he knew
That framed a past when years withdrew
From indiscretions of a town---
Mirrored in youth’s flashes, rundown
By secrets kept in a house where he loved and grew.

Form.     Florette 2.   Wrote for contest but didnt submit. (I chickened out)


Mirrors reveal what you can't hide
The rolls of fat your large backside
The legs once slim now plump and veined
The face once smooth now lines remain.
Yet dimples showing that you are smiling inside....

Mirrored trees reflecting so clear,
Mountains with snow peaks seem so near.
Tranquil lake sweet balm for my soul,
Seldom within a wave will roll.
Natures mirror lined with sky makes me shed a tear.

Mirror Distance

Cast reflections like flowers there
To the actors stage in thin air
Though our love sails distances far 
Fly back, on mirrors of the stars 
Holding tight, as a source of light, for you with care

Looking through,--worried man I see
With a mouth  busy  as  a  bee
Commune with astral world it looks,
Mixture of lust and fear ,he cooks
With hopelessness written on his face, Is this me?.

Mirror

Beauty that an eye can collect,
Corporeal it will select,
As I sit in front of mirror,
Can never see the mind stirrer,
Fragrance of florets of heart won't ever reflect !

The image smiling back at me
When the mirror makes me to see
Is someone I don't recognize
Who is that with those baggy eyes?
How could I have changed into this dreadful biddy?

Vulnerability, thy calm.
Mirror! you are my soothing balm.
You soak my umpteen drops of tears,
my craziness, delights and fears.
Like freckled waters, you watch my reflection dream.

Faded Image/Florette


As old beauty fades, I crumble,
cast aside – in mirrored stumble –
broken doll, eyes closed, dreams crashing
longing gaze of passion’s passing.
Images - life’s sad display of final tumble.

Mirrors



Desolate eyes have lost their sheen,
Broken hearts, once his darling queen,
Emotions will clearly reflect,
Why can't the mirrors introspect ?
His passion in her own eyes is true to be seen!

Across the sky, like arrowheads,
from silhouettes against the red,
the call of wild geese swiftly fades
into the sun. And then sun bades
a sad farewell to one last strand of summer's thread

Who put crows’ feet around my eyes?
Who put grey in my hair to dye?
I know you’re not prejudicial
You show images as real
O’ Mirror! It is my father’s face I imply

I hold your hands as face to face
We dare to look but not embrace
With mirrored thoughts we come to grips
The eyes make up for silent lips
They are reflecting both our hearts as pulses race

The mirror in the other room

has recently filled me with gloom.

One early morn I looked in it

and got freaked out; I looked like S@%#T!

Light so dim revealed the reflection of my doom.


(It was truly freaky that one day. I really hate the mirror in that room!
Gotta get me a prescription of Retin-A right away!)
