My rear view mirror
taught me that,
every problem
which seemed
big enough to
make us
scared and sad,
looks much smaller
when we look back.-
Whilst the sun eats
Winter blues,
The rearview keeps distorting,
Me into you.-
Rear view mirrors are quite confusing;
Are they for what's coming from behind?
Or for what you're leaving behind?-
S T O P
Stop looking at the rear-view mirror of your mind
(Anxieties, worries, false future predictions)
It's too harmful !
Because sometimes this mirror shows
The things which is not actually there !-
You called me your mirror,
that one day, in the morning.
I wondered if you thought
I'm your image, all throughout.
"No!", you'd say, seemingly
reading my mind as always.
"You help me reflect."
In retrospect, you have been
my mirror too; rear-view.
Helping me reflect,
in hindsight, with insight.
Prodding me to look back
every once in a while,
and letting me see
all the miles I've covered.
And you know what they say,
about rear-view mirrors.
"Objects in the mirror
are closer than they appear"
Isn't that what you
made me realise?
That I'm closer to me
than what it seemed?-
Don't write until
you can see your thoughts
in the rear view mirror
for enough long,
drive ahead; and
still refrain from
crashing into lamp post.-
Only he knows about culprit of changing it's direction but gives blessings by saying "object are closer than they appear" ,
Give rise to,
Silence when both are in contact
Smile when one is laughing
While other one is lost
.
.but
on last day he leaves his feeling and once again became a rear-view mirror-
I saw my life through rear view mirror... it's all totally fucked up
-
As I watch through the rear view mirror I see you.
As I watch through the rear view mirror
I see the places I've driven through,
people I've left behind, memories I've made.
I remember that time I thought of staying but never did, that time I thought of living here,
and that time I drove away.
I know I can stay, I know you want me to.
But I know I won't.
I won't give you false hope.
I believe I need to move forward so I keep driving.
I can't look back now.
All those people that knew me and
those places that saw me
only my rear view mirror remembers.
But I see you through my rear view mirror.
And I remember you while my rear view mirror
remembers everyone else.
I'm a traveller and I travel with stories,
with you in my stories.-
Truth Through Reflections
(Double Tanka & Haiku)
I would myself stalk,
If my mirror could e'er talk,
Looking into eyes,
Therein her silhouette lies
(Though on my lips, still, are lies).
Truths still tarrying,
Tangled in the reflections,
Carry her essence.
I may hide I miss her much,
But this truth ain't annasach.
I feel her closer
In the rearview mirror—
Future is terror.
