Read MoreMirrors mirroring not what mirrors mirror. Drinking this mirage, emulating my form. Echoes of reflecting thoughts exuding an air of sorrow. The presences within the glass, weeps deeply at its glassy heart. A blind man I am, staring into this mirror. Blinded in darkness, yet sighting the pain. These curtained eyes, sightful...

Thanks. It’s a wonder publishers nor agents are getting back to me to publish my work. Read your piece: Brutal. Very deep and kept me hooked.
