Your Heart's Mirrors (Sonnet #8) Poem by Tina Baaklini

Your tender heart reflects me differently
Where did my flaws, my imperfections go?
Adorned and in beauty is all I see!
In your blue eyes, pure heart and soul, I glow

My heart and soul you gaze upon and delve
Can a soul love another than her mate?
Can a heart lean for other than his half?
Can I love other than you, my soulmate?

Others see my outside — You see my inside
They judge my look — You read me as a book
With love, tenderness, you read me full-eyed
Thus to breathe peace, I seek your heart, my nook

And all the mirrors I see within you
Reflect the beauty your love turned me to
