A Reflection Poem by Naveed Khalid

There is more to see in the back of the mirror
Than what it shows from outward looks;
And deep down his mercury-heart reflects
Those pearls that never come out to the surface,
Unless in a speck of light gather, all nak'd to my eyes,
For the vanishing sight stains the sky with stars,
That I love beauty more than thy beauty is- -
Though less if more by half thy face is fill'd,
I would have you for my glass to drink ever more
When from out of the blue you pour forth in my verse
The unmet desires, but with love compare
What no beauty hides in her perfect ceremony
Of looks beguil'd, more look'd upon as her goldilocks,
By the stream make a garland of thy blonde hair.
