The Glass Prison


I sit in my glass prison

I made for myself

And see her all day

Through what’s mirror

To herself.


Hers are the morning rays

And the yawning daze

The blowing strands

With the evening breeze disturb

That Pensive Face.


Swayed & confused she comes

In front of me

And with all the innocence

Of a dressed little girl

She smiles happily


Unacknowledged & carefree

I stare at that smile

And as the large eyes meet themselves

They go blank

In a while


Raising her delicate fingers

She runs them on the glass

And those blank eyes quietly

Try to seek herself

In the glass.


Right she is

Is what I want to tell

Self is inside her

And not in this

Glass Cell


And one day she will realize

& do what I cannot

And break that mirror
For it is a liar
But I am not
