The Mirror By Sylvia Plath

           The Mirror

I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthful ‚
The eye of a little god, four-cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.

Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.
I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.
She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

by Sylvia Plath

An Attractive Girl

 An Attractive Girl An attractive girl with beauty so rare Eyes that sparkle like diamonds in air Lips that shine like the morning sun And a smile that brightens everyone Her grace and poise are truly a sight With a heart that's pure and filled with light She walks with confidence, head held high And the world can't help but look and sigh Her aura is captivating and warm With a beauty that's both natural and charm She's a precious gem in a sea of stones And the love in her heart overflows Though she's just a girl, she's a wonder to see And the world is a better place, because she's free to be herself, and bring beauty where ever she go. Please note that this is a fictional poem and does not depict any real person. Also it's worth to note that beauty is subjective and it should be celebrated in all forms and shapes.
