Man in the mirror

images (1)

When expressions reflected in the mirror
Life refracted through my past
I danced with you like an innocent child
Sometimes I acted before you like a superstar
You have painted my moods
And endured my true colors
Whether it is hot or cold
Mirror does its job
Mirror is a true friend of man
And I am the man in the mirror

    So true. I love these lines “And you taught me to turn around, To see the ones running behind me”. Very wise 🙂

    Well Antony..it is a really good thought and concept …..but the usages in the lines are more like sentences in some areas…..and short poetry is good as well.. it helps u concentrate more on the concept and gives beauty wen u put it down in a few words…just.. a suggestion…I do respect the right of the writer…..waiting for the next thought of yours…….

    Wonderful poem. Nicely said – great lines.

    Hi the man in the mirror
    For the mirror doesn’t lie
    For the man, does he lie?

      Hi Mylunar,a half truth is a whole lie.A mirror doesn’t lie, but we do lie.And a lie is loudest when we lie to our selves…Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting on my post! I really appreciate it! Anthony.

    Gud job antony……its really an awesome work. Loved it. . Its true that, we often run behind people who doesnt want to be wth us, and is blind to see who is waiting to hear a word frm us. Never too late to realise and appreciate the value of good friends, when we look behind and beside us. Friends are blessings always. Keep writing….its a gift frm God, to express urself n words. ( However, when the mirror shows u the people running behind u, to be ur frnds….dsnt dat contradict the concept dat ur mirror is ur only frnd and who wshs to b wth u???? its just my perception, and u mght hv hd a diff concept 😛 ).

    Hi Anthony.
    Excellent piece of art.Beautifully depicted your thoughts and values in words.This poem indeed has got a good rhythm too.Your vision is superb .Example,

    You taught me to turn around and look for people who run behind me..
    Great work man.. Keep going..You indeed has got the required or more talent..
    Best Wishes. God Bless You…
