reflection

reflection

looking into the eyes of a lover
seeing the reflection of self within
always trying to look deeper and deeper
is it truly what i desire to see
can we accomplish he same end looking into a mirror
can we reflect in our own eyes what we wish to see
touching a lover and feeling great joy
can we not feel the same joy touching ourselves
can we touch the deepest part of who we are
speaking words of love to our lover
can we speak these words to ourselves
can we hear what we are really saying
can we know the depths of what we speak
yes, we look for what we need in others
when can we see that what we need is ourselves
we look for ourselves in others
why not just look to the mirror
why not look within and find what is there
the joy of the gleam in another’s eyes
the joy of bringing joy with your touch
the joy of speaking the words that you long to hear
the lover is the mirror
when the mirror is out of sight
