202. A Wish

If in wishing I could have a wish,

A wish no more, no less,

Then all the wishes of the ages,

Be they for hindrance or progress.

Be they by serfs or lordly men,

If such a wish were granted me,

I’d wish…yes, I would wish,

For not more, and not less then,

Not less then a mirror reflection,

A wish,

Of who I am, and was, and be.

I wish….

I wish…to know me!

90. Mirror Reflection

I look at the reflection,

A soul to soul projection.

Shadow of a place,

That hides beneath the face.

I stare in deep ferocity,

With heightened luminosity,

Into the eyes that see,

A door with lock and key.

Open with kind docility,

An unsure bearability,

Of what lies beyon’,

In visions long forgone.

A nightmares’ contribution,

Carries swift persecution,

To the soul that knows,

What this doth expose.

This reflections’ exploratory.

Unexplored interrogatory.

Never. Never. Never.

Will I continue this endeavor!

I know well the destitution,

Of past prostitution.

Trapped in mirror’s reflection,

A lost shadows’ inflection,

Only known by my detection.
