Fountain Of Truth

Ms. Vee selfie

When I looked in the mirror

…What…

Did I see? None other but

…Saggy…

Old wrinkles peering at

….Me…

Step into this image to regain your

…Youth…

I lowered the shade

…I’m…

Searching for truths

It’s Not Me

When I looked in the mirror

The image that peered back at me

Was unrecognizable

It was an imposter

From the past

Attempting to peek around

My present life

I once again had to

Shatter it!

My Spirit Changes Colours

Born green

To…

Color the earth

A…

Rejuvenating spirit in my

Soul…

Throughout the years

Gazing…

At my reflection

Peering…

Back at me

I…

Have seen changing

Colours…

I’ve been

Red…

Blue…

And admittedly…

Yellow…

I’ve aged and now

Brown…

Dried…

Fragile…

Should you speak

Do…

So softly for your

Breath…

Might blow me

Away…

If you touch

Me…

Please be gentle

I…

Am not ready to

Crumble…

Or fall

After all…

Still…

Alive…

I can

Stumble…

Along…

One Leaf

When I look in the

Mirror…

What I see, is a

Replica…

Of me

What’s invisible is the

Pain…

That burdens

Me…

Perhaps this will cease

To exist

Once…

My mind is

Free…

And my heart only

Belongs…

To me

I wish to be

A single…

Leaf…

Hanging on

One…

Family tree

Images

Images are reflections of you, and of me

And she and of he

I see them everywhere, near and afar

In the mirror, through the glass, an image

I see

In the present, there’s an image, and it stems

 From the past

The camera and lens, a man’s leering eyes

I look over my shoulder, while taking my strides

I won’t be offended, I’m keeping my pride

I step on the bus, and the image I see

Through the window, made of glass

It is the dark side of me
