BY THE MIRROR

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

It is
But a whisper
Falling gently
From the air
A sound lost
In the quiet
As I watch you
Brush your hair.

By the mirror
Of the dresser
Fading perfume
Lingers still
Slowly drawn
Into the memory
Of loves vibration
Wanton will.

My shirt
About your shoulders
Your reflection
Meets my eyes
A wisping smile
Soon forgotten
As a ponytail
You tie.

    There is something so gentle and tender so feminine about this poem that captures so well a man's view of femininity and its alure. It is innocent, playful yet quiet and all done in very nice rhyme. It feels romantic and is a fave my friend

    Good write N. Did you use a mirror to see if the bus was coming? lol.

    Did I long nothing but your reflection in my inner mirror ?

    Always marvelled about the eyes double function as a mirror and not just to see out of. šŸ™šŸ»šŸ•Šļø

    Ah, Norman...I’d be reluctant to say anything and interrupt. I’d want to enjoy another minute of being there together. šŸŒ¹šŸ–¤šŸ™šŸ•ÆļøšŸ¦ā€ā¬›
