(cont.) ... (thanks, Google) : define more so Though more so spelled as two words, the one-word moreso gained ground despite the disapproval of usage authorities. More so strictly means that to a greater degree, and so refers to an adjective or adverb used earlier. bri ;) to MyPoemList

(cont.) .. favorite lines: Into the soft gaze of an adoring mirror That seemed to love her As much as I did & , .. only loneliness is reflected In the same cold and unsympathetic mirror. (cont.)

PH moved me to this page while i was away from PC. i'm glad it did. just a wild guess: (two guesses in fact) 1- you are as old as i am or more so ** [see additional comments] & 2- this poem is really about you and a lover (wife?) and she died or 'went away' some other way. (cont.)

A wonderful use of language in this Uriah. This is a beautiful, relective piece and the use of mirror and picture as metaphor is put to great use here.

Strong words with deep feeling a fine piece of work Thanks Nik
