    THE MIRROR

    When I look at you I have to smile
    because my gaze is always returned
    with a welcomingthat says
    why don't you stay awhile?

    And when you smile back at me
    All is well in the world, It is an ultimate
    expression of warmth that comes
    from within but heats my whole being
    and its inner and outer vicinities...

    Do you believe in your own beauty?
    Can you conceive its prominence...
    If you can't, all you need to do is open
    your eyes and look at me, for I am
    that mirror that reflects your beauty
    and prominence!

    Oh Phoenix of Love never fear or doubt
    for you are Love's brightest day
    bringing forth light that is so pure
    it shouts to me, of this to always
    be sure...

    In your mirror there is never night
    but warm sunsets to be shared
    without fear or fright.

    May life's mirror always shine warm
    blessings, as that is how you are
    defined, and I hope that I am thought
    of fondly when you look thru this mirror,
    that you will remember that the present
    time is the best and finest of times
    when my mirror is blessed to reflect
    your light.

    I think this one is good. I'm not going to sit up here and get all emotional with you cause we are men and have reps to protect lol. I'm kidding. You have alot of emotion in this piece and it flows out of the pen so well...you can't see marks on the paper from writing too hard...just a certain swiftness about this piece. Good job you have done here.

    I like the casualness of your work, Brother Silk. It's not indifferent or cavalier, it's just got a laid-back style that makes me say to myself, "Damn, reminds me when things used to be cool." ha ha.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
