Mirror

When mirror shows the truth, don't break it, break yourself.

Looking at the mirror

I see a young boy

He is only 18

but looking to me old

His unshaved face and gray hair

shows the pain of passion

lived a century in less than two decades

like a fast journey through decades

he is a box of books

hard to mention

He has been sick 

cause of tension

But I see hope in his eyes

waiting for 

a force  to rise

Listening to the Requiem

over and over again

Caressing the piano

that was fulfilled with dust

to remember the love that was lost

the mirror smiles at me

Like a wise looking at a mad

there's nothing more

for him to be sad

They say a mirror doesn't lie and I'm inclined to agree. When I look in mine I see a life well-travelled. I see the footprints of time, those fine lines etched round the eyes and the corners of my mouth. I see the emotions of a life time that tell me I have lived, loved and lost. Really enjoyed this write dear Nima. We can't hide from the mirror, it is so revealing.

I hope the same feeling that you have when looking at the mirror for everyone. It is very important to look at the mirror and not regret annything. Like Frank Sinatra says: "Regrets, I've had a few, but then again,too few to mention".
Thanks dear Chris. I really appreciate your review.
Wish you all the best. Take Care

You too Nima.

Some of your lines are exquisite. Your work reads easily and always has something of value to say.

It's very kind of you to say "exquisite". When I feel down or when I think deeply of something, It occurs to me that it must be turned into a poem, to empty my mind and also take the attention of other writers.
Wish you the best
