Reflection

 I’m an art and you’re my artist

Your Heart and Mind, made me in their tryst

You shaped me, you coloured me

You molded me and I will just be

I’m your script, your own calligraphy,

Embedded with letters from your life’s odyssey

you dotted my i’s and crossed my t’s

you danced in my eyes and sweetened me into dainties

Sometimes I am harsh

And sometimes I am hush

Sometimes I am cold

And sometimes I am bold

Cos that’s how you made me

that’s how you fashioned me to be

Nothing impure, just your true reflection

Echoing your every affection and affliction

When you’re flooded with happiness

I shall buoy up in high tides with richness

I’ll lock-in these sweet moments

And I'll remind them in future torments

when you’re in a painful drought

I won’t be the mirage to be hungrily sought

But I’ll mirror your underlying aplomb like an aegis

And I’ll be the thirst-quenching angel of an oasis
