Hidden Reflection Poem by Sentamu Aziz

Same as Seen
So differently felt
As seen in the mirror
All as the Opposite
Like Object and Image

Behind One Mirror
Exists a Smile
Beautifully so seen
But all full of Guilt
That Only God Knows

A peep in that Mirror
Shows Lots of Kindness
Blinding off Reality
That Seals all Guilt
You keep Hidden from us

Behind Beautiful Mirrors
So many Blushes kept
Never to Sprout a Smile
For so far they live
To have a Scent of happiness
In their pretense Shade

Reflects of Light
Keeping our eyes blinded
For not Gold as the glow shows
But a Coat so Often
For light is darkness too much
To raise a suspicion

Behind that mirror
So many Beautiful Smiles
Designed full of hope
Trust prayer and Courage
But so much is unseen
For Enemies are once Friends
That once gave you the best smile

It's never a Portrait to Admire
For once a Beautiful clear Mirror
Tremors and Wilted Love Came
Smashing it to pieces
Too many and Sharp to step on
It's never again that mirror
That kept all corrections on us
But a bin too filthy we see
Too dirty even for our shattered lives
For life is so priceless
To ever give up a moment
So much is in the world
Happiness and Joy
Strides of Achievements
Mountains of hope
Valleys like cones of ice-cream
Filled with celebrations
But bright as it is
Trust no mirror
Though handle it with care
For friends are few
Who stand with you all through
Like a Mirror handled well
Never to break
