I Stare

[99CentDreams]

In the face of my reflection
I stare
It melts in the drops of the rain
and takes the form of water
which flows down my window pane
It taps
Beckons me to let it in
I stare
With a faceless expression
And I receive the same

[rimbaud]

nice, i like it, short but clear - my kind of poetry :)

i like its brevity also... looking at the glass is understood, so you could forget about the visual references, and go straight for the images and thoughts. the 'and i receive the same' would therefore have more impact (a startling realization). thoughtful poem... makes me wonder what the relfection thinks.
