If a mirror existed that showed us our reflection, not as we appear, but as we feel; a pure reflection of our souls; what would I look like in such a glass? A rumbling volcano? An explosion of raging lava at a word said in a misjudged time? A spluttering of ash at a phrase uttered in a misused tone? But I guess it would be a mild volcano; no Vesuvius.Β Unsteady, yes, and explosive, but fading quickly; an Etna maybe.
You? What would your reflection be, my love? A statue made of marble, perhaps?
Emotionless, no explosions; cold to the touch, like marble?
All logic, no splutterings; clean and flawless, like marble?

(A statute made of marble, perhaps? – statue is misspelled.)
Woops! Thanks for that!
I don’t think they’re made for each other. This was a different take on the prompt.
Depends on what she’s willing to accept, I guess. Thanks for your comment, Sandra.
Brilliant. Absolutely love it.

This is lovely. She’s really got the measure of her lover!
How would my reflection be? That’s between the mirror and me (and NSA etc).
hehe π good one! Thanks for your comment, Patrick.
Sandra, Good story and well written. It looks like opposites really attracted in that case. Good descriptions. π —Susan
Thanks, Susan.
Much as I get frustrated at the extent of my inner turmoil – outwardly hidden – I would rather feel, than feel nothing at all. Great story.
An interesting thought, and I totally agree!
Dear Sandra,
Interesting analogies. A lovely piece of writing and food for thought.
