Verse---conjecture of my mind

i glance into the mirror
and see you unseeingly.
my gestures mechanical,
thoughts instinctively
desiring to be closer.
i turn to be with you-
as usual you disappear
inside my mind.
i am left with
staring at my reflection,
thinking who is this?

 
am i the one who is
conjecture of my mind?

SO lonely! I really like the mood you have captured here.

nothing like the mirror image of yourself to make you face the question - who am I?

Excellent musings on the image we project and who we truly are. Sometimes I think of them distorting us and we don't see past our physical imperfections, sometimes limiting ourselves. Hopefully, we can get past this and avoid them altogether.....

Thanks ospelex, you got that exactly how I had meant it to be. A moment capture which is NOW!

April, this is not about being lonely. I never intended that. It is about questioning ourselves what we really are.
gautami tripathy Nov 2, 2006, 8:18am EST
Yes Anne, only mirrors tell us what we really are. We just don't see it.
gautami tripathy Nov 2, 2006, 8:20am EST
Stanley thanks. When do I get to read your GREAT poetry here?
gautami tripathy Nov 2, 2006, 8:21am EST
I agree amanda but sometimes we can't avoid...
