"The Looking Glass"(by Joe DiMino)

There was a time I saw you dearly-
seems not so long ago;
and the looking glass
though clouded somewhat
retains familiar glow-
but here not the body
of a poem
composed I once more for name-
though yet, the writing
smudged somewhat,
recalls a residue of refrain:
To the times enchanting! To the bouts of sorrow!
boasts a  journey 
nothing more than mine-
the image bare, the portrait done
and what remains written
was clearly meant now only
to shatter when I sign....
