ROMANTICISM: "REFLECTION" BY MYLISTIC

I look into the water, I see me,

The me that smiles, yet I ain't showing my teeth,

Is the reflective me being a trickster, I may be hallucinating!

Or I got monkeys for an eye, they seem to be mischievous.

Slight wind on the water, tiny waves formed,

Replacing my reflection, damn! What a serene?

How can they be artistic, ooh! I mean the tiny aquatic creatures,

They seem to have noticed my sorrow, they've chosen that I be happy.

I'm startled at the formations, so amazing,

Can they see through my heart, do they've the x-ray vision?

Or are they mind readers, maybe mind projectors?

I'm baffled, jumping off my skin I'd.

You're all I see, you're the reflective me,

Your face, shimmers like the pearl,

Are you the moon, your glow is scorching,

Be my prison, I wanna be locked in you.

The poet persona sees his reflection in water and assumes that the aquatic animals can read his state of mind just like art.
