Reflections of a Stranger
She stands before
the looking glass
Her own reflection there,
Eyes so empty
brown and dark
Cornrows entwined her hair.

Forgotten memories
of her past,
To think of thoughts escape her,
Behind the face
forever lost
Reflections of a stranger.

I really like reading your poems and never hesitate to click on them.

The "Cornrows" line sounds a bit akward to me, but I might just be putting the beats wrong.

Either way, great stuff!

Thanks for the comment Closet_Writer
I am glad that you like my poetry. Thank You.

The word "cornrows" is a type of braided hair style that are usually worn by African/American peoples. They are very beautiful.

Blessed be

I knew about the hair style, I meant the entire line sounded akward. I think its beautiful that you think a lot of things are beautiful. It makes me happy inside. ^.^

Dear Sally,

I do not know how I missed this one!!!! I fell into this one, as my mind traveled a bit. Almost want to say, that you wrote about me. I loved this. Simply beautiful. I understand that line perfectly...cornrows entwined her hair......just beautiful. Thank you for sharing and many blessings to you.

Introspective to say the least SALLY - I like this poem though
Can certainly relate to staring in the mirror and wond'ring
"Who are you?" --- Love the "cornrows" line
I think BRIANNA may be wanting an "in" ----> "Cornrows entwined IN her hair..."
But I think such beautifully poetically written as is.

Nice piece!
Thanx for the sharing
