Mirror Of Erised

By Gunpreet Singh Sachdeva

Watching oneself in a mirror

One might think of that error

Which all of our mirrors possess

Our thoughts. They can't assess.

They just show our physical traits

Acting just like reflecting gates.

Why aren't they like Mirror of Erised?

Do they fear becoming forever dead?

As told, it had lead to much destruction

Not knowing if what they have seen is real construction.

"I show not your face but your heart's desire"

Was actually the thing which the mirror aspire.

But if we see around us

We might really solve this fuss.

We have a thing exactly for that

But to see that, you need an experienced hat.

Common people know them as eyes

They are the one which can't hide lies.

Through them we can see much more than desires

Dreams, fears doubts and whatever one aspires.

But you need the art of reading them

Then only you can get that gem.

Eyes are the mirror to a person's heart it is said.

That's why I call them real life mirror of Erised.
