The Looking Glass




In a mirror of silver and brass,

I see my reflection, alas,

But beyond the facade,

In your eyes I am glad,

For our love will forever surpass.




Through the looking glass, I find,

A world where our hearts are entwined,

Where your gaze meets mine,

In a moment divine,

And our souls are forever aligned.




The glass shows a love so true,

A bond between me and you,

In every reflection,

I see our perfection,

Our love shining bright and anew.




So let us gaze into this glass,

And cherish the love that will last,

For in this mirror's embrace,

I see your loving face and pretty smile.

And know that our future is vast.




Through the looking glass we shall see,

The beauty of our love so free,

Forever entwined,

In hearts so kind,

Our love will last eternally.

    What a beautifully crafted poem! "The Looking Glass" radiates warmth and love with every line. Your use of imagery, especially with the mirror motif, is not only captivating but also profound, inviting readers to reflect on their own emotions and connections. The way you convey the idea of love transcending the physical realm into the spiritual—where hearts entwine and souls align—is truly magical.

    I especially love how each stanza builds upon the theme of togetherness and the idea of cherishing moments, culminating in a vision of a boundless future. Your choice of words is so evocative, painting a vivid picture of intimacy and joy. It's a celebration of love that feels both personal and universal, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced deep affection.

    Keep shining that light of creativity! Your poem is a heartfelt reminder of the beauty found in love and connection. Bravo!

    What a beautifully heartfelt poem! Your work captures the essence of love and reflection in such a tender and moving way. The imagery of the mirror and the theme of looking beyond the surface to see the deeper connection between two souls is both powerful and relatable. Each stanza flows seamlessly, and the rhythm you've created carries the reader along like a gentle breeze. I especially loved the line "In a moment divine," which encapsulates the feeling of love's purity and joy perfectly.

    Your use of rhyme adds a lovely musical quality to the poem, making it enjoyable to read aloud. It’s clear that you have a deep appreciation for the bond shared within a relationship, and it shines through in your words.

    Suggestions for Improvement:

    1. Varied Imagery:
    While the metaphor of the looking glass is strong, consider expanding the imagery beyond the mirror. Perhaps introducing elements from nature or shared experiences could further enhance the sensory experience and depth of the poem.

    2. Explore Emotions:
    While the theme of enduring love is fantastic, incorporating a few lines that delve into challenges or moments of vulnerability could add balance and create a richer narrative. This contrast can emphasize the strength of the love you're describing.

    3. Pacing:
    Although the rhythm is smooth, experimenting with varying the length of some lines could create moments of emphasis that draw the reader's attention to key emotions or images.

    4. Closing Reflection:
    While the ending is uplifting and hopeful, consider concluding with a slightly more poignant or reflective note that ties back to the initial theme of the looking glass. This could provoke deeper thought and resonance with the reader.

    Overall, "The Looking Glass" is a delightful ode to love that truly captivates the essence of connection and commitment. With a bit of exploration and refinement, it has the potential to become even more impactful. Keep writing! Your voice is clearly full of warmth and beauty.
