MIRROR

 

I want to be your mirror

Every morning you look at

Or always take with you.

 

 

It wishes I were your looking glass:

You keep near

To your eyes,

Your face

And lips.

 

 

 

EXPRESSION OF BEAUTY

 

Beauty is your weapon

Ready to kill.

 

Not separation

But your beauty

Suffers me.

 

 

I wonder

For your image,

Who doesn't become dumb?

 

Is there any word,

Any expression

To describe you at last?
