Reflection

What do you see when you look at me?
I know what I see when I look in the mirror ....
I see two eyes, two lips a nose and a chin.
A face that will neither frighten a child nor launch a ship.
Pleasant enough, but unremarkable.
My mirror tells no lies.
It shows me the wrinkles and fine lines around my grey eyes.
It shows me the laugh lines around my mouth.
It shows me the freckles that refuse to fade with age.
But what does it show you?
Do you see the desire reflected in my grey eyes?
Do you see the passion falling from my lips?
My mirror tells no lies.
But reflected in your eyes I see myself as you see me .....
Beautiful.
Beautiful from your love.
The love you've given me .... just as I am.

Flaming hair
Wraps around your face
As I look down upon you,
I want to kiss you.
But instead,
I sit and stare
And wonder what you see,
And what you think.
I think of our future,
And if we even have one.
A million thoughts run,
No!
Wander
through my mind.
I feel as though
I’ve been staring
At those very eyes
For a lifetime.
But, it’s only
Been a moment;
A minute of our life.
Meaningless
And blank.
I kiss you
And we fuck.
