 When I stared unrelentingly into broken shards of irregular mirror, 

The reflection that emanated was grotesquely distorted; with my nose appearing
to be broken at a myriad of places.
 
When I sighted my face in a thick sheet of mirror stained with a crimson slurry of blood, 
I resembled the diabolical devil; with ghastly streaks of brutal red embellishing my forehead.
 
When I viewed my persona in a sea green mirror; hoisted towards blazing 
light of the Sun, 
Intricate features of my body appeared evidently blurred; and a bunch of hair on my scalp looked like blades of grass.
 
When I held a mirror painted with black; abreast twin pairs of my crystalline eyes, 
I felt as if I had been divested of vision; with an ocean of perpetual darkness striking me at blinding speeds.
 
When I attempted to picture my silhouette; in the translucent mirror of the 
emerald sea, 
The image appeared preposterously hazy in the primordial stages; disappearing
at instants of boisterous waves transiting into frothy spray.
 
When I tried to spot my demeanor in the immaculate mirror of moon, 
The reflection appeared overwhelmingly clear; but soon got obliterated by a cluster of black clouds.
 
When I audaciously attempted to view my outlines in the blistering mirror of the  flaming Sun, 
I inevitably failed to do so; as the acrid beams of light decimated all 
my capacity to see.
 
When I tried to distinguish my color in a mirror camouflaged in frosty milk, 
I inexorably  looked like a clown; with my dexterously chiseled features transforming to fat smudges of white.
 
When I endeavored decoding my face in an absolutely Pellucid mirror, 
I could sight it as it was sculptured at the reigning moment; without traces of emotion and empathy.
 
And eventually when I attempted to see my face in the mesmerizing mirror of my
beloved's eyes, 
This time though the reflection which diffused was the clearest of all; and I sighted a blissful smile on my lips, 
Which was a perennial signal that we loved each other; as much as we feared to die.
