Dedicated to all self observers!
Looking glass looking glass what secrets do you tell?
About these two ladies sitting before you so swell?
Do you know that two into one won't go?
These Gemini twins want you to know!
The looking glass tells of what it reflects,
But what's inside that it deflects?
The secrets of what lies within from without,
Not to be seen in a looking glass no shadow of doubt!
These fair ladies are really one,
She is a Gemini and so two into one!
O'h so beautiful in her dress of silk,
Skin like pink porcelain cream or milk!
A delicate fan adorns her hair,
As she sits viewing herself so fair..
Her hair and dress exquisite by design,
Shows her reflection but is she so vain?
She hopes that her stunning looks will appeal,
To someone she adores and with love does feel..
But dark is her secret that her twin self loves another,
And hey guess what, it is his twin brother!
So which sister will secure of the love of which brother,
Will the inner indecision be a fight like no other?
Two into one cannot win in Love,
Karma states only one hand per glove..
So as the twins sit pondering upon their fate,
Their eyes being the windows of their soul might negate..
Who is right and who is wrong?
The battle can only be won by the strong!
One twin within is holding the mirror for the other,
They are the postitive and negative within a mother..
Mother earth like beauty for all to see,
In the looking glass gilt framed so divided is she!
So who is the winner of the looking glass war,
Gilded for both to ponder upon some more!
Looking glass looking glass what is our fate to be?
Is the winner my twin or is it me?!

Thanks Millions!
Thanks millions, for your fab and kind review you are very inspiring and encouraging.
Glad you liked it.
Main thing is the taking part, and we are each individuals with an individual style, and one reader may prefer one person's poem to another but this will change from reader to reader, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Your work is excellent too, but not less good than anyone elses, nor is mine better than anyone elses, we just differ in style and expression and appeal to different people for different things. Neve rknow your abilities, for you shine because YOU are YOU and because YOUR style is unique to YOU! I thi k you have a lovely aura and are a lovely person and that makes you and your poetry very special.
Thanks for your kindness!
Poetic Hugs and Thanks Millions,

Excellent take on the picture, battle of the identical. Some lovely imagery within your words, I especially liked 'Karma states only one hand per glove..' Neat phrase. Not sure if the non rhyming couplet was on purpose but didn't interrupt the flow to much. A great read, thanks for entering and good luck

Thanks millions, for your fab and kind review you are very inspiring and encouraging.
Glad you liked it. Yes the whole poem by design was deliberate in order to point out that two different sides can't go into one, rhyme and non-rhyme, good and bad, negative and positive, and live side by side harmoniously!
Glad you liked the karma bit!
Poetic Hugs and Thanks Millions,
