Portraits Painted
In reflection
Portraits painted in reflections.
On a glassy watery expanse
Blinding sparkles from the sun
Coloured by the ripples dance.
The ripples distort the image.
Nature’s jigsaw out of kilter
Night’s veil and evening hazes
Add subtleties to the filter.
I look into your eyes.
They glisten and reveal
Deep thoughts within your soul
To me, you can’t conceal.
Expressions reflect feelings
A certain giveaway
Embody and represent
In a spiritual display.
Thoughts in synchronicity
Ideal company
Mirrored by mysteries
Fit together perfectly.
I look at you, and it is true
Our eyes mirror our love
A deflection in reflection
Love from up above
