Mirror of the Eyes

The Mirror of the Eyes was inspired by various people whom I have encountered in my life journey. It is a melting pot of expressions and cultures that encourages the reader to find himself or herself on several pages. The choice in name for this book provides an escape to be gentle with oneself as you are allowed to take a glimpse of souls, minds, and hearts that come alive through different lens. The Mirror of the Eyes provides the opportunity for the reader to make time to heal, to reflect, to rest in the fact that changes will come and that one should be prepared. It is divided into seven segments; each segment provides different types of poems for different emotions and times. Colors from a Blink exposes the cultural preferences, The Soul in Black and White reminds us of our sensitivity and sensibility. Both Sides of the Lens shows the struggle between the sexes and highlights the differences as they are, while Eyes of Grain speaks to pain and disappointment. When comparing Opaque Lens to Behind the Retina, the reader is faced with spirituality and human weaknesses. See Through is flirtatious and gives the reader the opportunity to relax in vulnerability and laugh at oneself.
