Two Mirrors

Standing
in front of
the reflective glass
see me
cannot see others

Standing
in front of
the absorptive sea
see others
cannot see me.

The dividing line 
Between shadow and I 
Lies between the twain 
Set upon a mirrored surface 
That itself does contain 
Some differences 
In reflective

Now all we need is a ballerina and snow

If wisdom was a picture, how beautiful she’d be.
Words melting into hues, in perfect harmony.

Like rhythmic waves flowing in an open sea.

Premium Member drawn to her

suiters were drawn to her
she was reflective
what was she contemplating?
She seemed introspective and preoccupied
Women who are pensive are often fascinatingly contradictory
men waited for their turn

Candle

Strike a match 
that distracts 
but dictates
a reflective gaze.
Eyes, witness 
something profound
as the candle melts
pooling, cooling
until the wick
is no longer sustained.
Its flame flickers
then fades.

Premium Member Cheers For Hidden Stories

did you know
       at noon
without a cheer
 away 
  from the noise  
        alone
satisfied
a
 serene  
      reflective
  glow
 light and shiny
in
 laughing memories
lengthy 
    but worthy

The Daunted Prey

eyes
scanning

Serengeti Plains

laughing 
giggling
chuckling
while
feasting
and
crushing
the
bones
of
the
daunted
prey
