Beware of Mirrors

 

“Beware of Mirrors”

 

As I turned to watch her

Sweep those dreadful blues away

 

Beware of mirrors

I thought I Heard Her say

 

The stuff that hides behind the silver

Will never go away

 

Oh yes beware of mirrors and

All forms of reflection

 

Since too much light and insight

Will only serve

 

To make you blind

One day

Yeah, those mirrors can be brutal.

This poem is really great. I actually like the formatting you used because it really helps with the flow. I could ramble on about how there was a study done proving that centering text helps the reader read, but that would be paragraphs long no doubt, haha.

Great work. ^-^

I like your experimental form. Where reader can flow with text into own interpretation. True an hurt as we like a lie. I experienced several times on this site. Sometimes I was too honest or too rude and I hurt someone here. Also is was another way around. Since then I am careful about others feelings and respect e ery mistakes cause they are important maybe more then do it thing completely right and perfect. Thanks for your another important creation.

You sound such a lovely guy Martin & so darn good with words you are too.... those of yours above truly mean an awful lot to me my fine young friend.... Neville

Like a tumbling insight into self.. seeing what hides behind the silver, turning up, like it or not. Don't know about you, but have thought that a person can be a mirror to or of another.. reflections similar.. except from how one looks, the light, the mood, etc. But i veer thoughts away from your final stanza that sems to say that insight is there untill one is blinded by the truth. Perhaps.

Because these are only words & stem from nothing more than my imagination, I am more than happy for them to be variously interpreted.....thank you emmajoy, your visits and insights are always appreciated here.... N

I love your thought patterns and the way you make it into a little personal, yet impersonal, philosophical lesson. Man, would people get off the negative train and put up some reviews? Neville's work is great! Visit it!
