Mirrors of Mercury
Who is Shams and who Rumi
is like asking who is fork and who knife when apart they sing not a single verse
to nourish my blood with curry and rice
Who is mirror and who reflection
Is that me ? I ask you
as I watch your slender bones
move in your leather boot
your wild slow eyes reflecting YES !

I was touring the lovely countryside, once on a golden Saturday,
Lost within the raptures, of languid summertime's scenic display.
And I came into the vicinity, of a beautiful historic old home,
So being curious and interested, inside I occasioned to roam.
Excitedly I wandered about, exploring the grandeur everywhere,
And when done down below, I climbed the burgundy carpeted stairs.
In awe of its splendor and beauty, I viewed the portrait hall,

I hate looking in mirrors
I don't like what I see.
They say I have a pretty face
They say that they love me
I'm lost to my reflection
when I practice how I look
I've got to get my smile right
or else I'll be mistook
