Our psyche hides behind
Reflecting our delusions
From fear of what we find

Still, we are just the child
Shaken and alone
When brought out in the open
Outside our comfort zone

Confusion is a constant
The measure of all things
With the flooding of emotions
Our shattered mirror brings

Things that lay hidden
In recesses of the mind
Come out to rule the moment
Future thoughts aside

Lashing out at loved ones
Meaning no offense
Sharpness of the tongue
A spiritual defense

Saying many things
We rapidly regret
Slipping even further
Praying you forget

Puzzling the pieces
From the many shards
Glue of understanding
Reducing many scars

Buffing it with love
Makes it shinny new
To find that little child
You’d need a jeweler's view

When it’s all together
We say that we have grown
Our mirror shining brightly
With delusions all our own [comments] => 3 [counter] => 265 [topic] => 21 [informant] => mr_alleycat [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Mirrors Of Delusion

Contributed by mr_alleycat on Monday, 31st December 2007 @ 12:59:11 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Fragile is the mirror
Our psyche hides behind
Reflecting our delusions
From fear of what we find

Still, we are just the child
Shaken and alone
When brought out in the open
Outside our comfort zone

Confusion is a constant
The measure of all things
With the flooding of emotions
Our shattered mirror brings

Things that lay hidden
In recesses of the mind
Come out to rule the moment
Future thoughts aside

Lashing out at loved ones
Meaning no offense
Sharpness of the tongue
A spiritual defense

Saying many things
We rapidly regret
Slipping even further
Praying you forget

Puzzling the pieces
From the many shards
Glue of understanding
Reducing many scars

Buffing it with love
Makes it shinny new
To find that little child
You’d need a jeweler's view

When it’s all together
We say that we have grown
Our mirror shining brightly
With delusions all our own

"Buffing it with love

Great poem as a whole, but the stanza above was my favorite. Great flow. Truthful meaning. A pleasure to read.

awesome poem.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
