The Mirrors Of Truth

Free Verse

Image by the author

Do you think they can
capture the emotion
that the heart
in that moment held?
Or is it just illusions
that they share,
stories written
by someone else?

What the eye sees,
and the heart feels —
the camera should stand
somewhere in-between.

Do you think they can
take down the pretence
and strip your soul bare?

They call out,
the photos do,
to those who share
the pain,
and feel the world
in a similar way.

~ Iva
