Broken Mirror Poem by Suresh Kumar EK

Broken Mirror

Rating: 4.8


It slipped
The mirror
Through my hands
And shattered
Into many pieces
To become a painful
Show of glass and dust.
It was a fine mirror
That reflected my face
And rainbows underwater.
Now it is broken
Broken completely.
I tried to make it perfect,
Covering it with my
Love and dreams.
I don't know how it fell
From my hands and broken
To colourlessness.
No reflection
NO VIBGYOR
No frameworks.
But it reflects
My too many faces
Curved, concave
Plain and dusty
Love, hate, contempt
Disgust and trust.
But at some angles
It does reflect
A ray of hope
An array of hope.
Confused I am,
How long can I
Hold it close,
With the broken
Pieces together
To my heart?
How long can I?

mirror mirror slips through hands, instant glass shard silver sliver pieces, where have reflections fled, when did mirror images shatter, time lost faces years decades gone, pause moment moths light flickers
