Description Mirrors/eyes are the windows
to our souls...
Allowing others to see
right
through
me....

Staring at myself I see all
my faults, all my shortcomings.
Every broken heart
Every scar
Every bleeding wound lays
open before the all seeing eye
that is not an eye at all.

Side by side with myself
we stare at our reflections...
which is illusion and which reality?
I reach to touch this stranger
in my skin as he reaches for me.
I look to the left, he looks right.

My exact opposite in every way
he is everything I wish I was not
but sometimes long to be.
Scarred, leather skinned, armor plated.
Eyes hard from battles won and lost.
Tall, muscular, with an air that commands attention.

I pull away (so does he)
and smile as I turn and walk away.
He never cares if I am on time or not.
Never cares that I havent brushed my teeth yet.
Never cares that I didnt get an A on that last test.
Never cares that I dress like a freak.
All he cares about is that I come
and visit every once a while.
So I stare into the glass pool of my soul
at my own Violent Reflection and I smile.....

Finally something new from you! yay. and it has to be great, don't it? VERY nice piece. I adore writings about mirrors, normally I write about broken ones, but that's just cause it's more me. Very nice though. Mirrors carry secrets, can you catch them?

I concur with Josh, for the same thing happens, I suppose, to all of us. I don't think, and you surely did not intimate, that we see what we want to see. We might pretend that, the truth is, we see with honesty...wait, I think I may be way off track...oh, okay, you saw your faults and shortcomings, yeah, I like this, then you saw that you are you, lol, in all your glory and magnificence. I'd say that's pretty darn cool!

yup, very cool. Its funny how sometimes you can look at that person and be shocked at how how stunning they look, other times you recoil from their ugliness...

Well done Matrix
