We Are Gemini

So shall you collect my eyes
in stare of breathless enfold
born of dreams from another realm
when God first wept us in blend;
Where we were the quintessence of colour
empyreans across a promised sky
when we were beautiful combined.

You were the water in the still deep
of my fragrance within the woods.
You were the tide flowing silk on sand
in the sultry night that swam for miles
shimmering the stars a destine drench.
We wandered the beach barefoot, exotic,
monarch messiahs held to sacred rite
as you hung the universe in my voice.
We were heaven incarnate, love, pure,
and the moon laughed as it lingered late
for it too, wanted to witness the waves of us.
You were the very essence of wind
and I flew your wings then
into the soft of time, into the now.

Rewind; begin again
thoughts meld as we become touch
two feathers, air to earth
fate’s choreograph
diving ocean's wake.
We drink skin velveteen
and live a thousand lives
rising down into the up
of falling with intensity.

For, we are Gemini
souls of twin flames
the yin and yang of life
ever burning tomorrow's embers.

Melissa, my father
was a Gemini...

So as I read this
slowly, and carefully,
you allowed
his spirit
to hold fast
and sure.

Thank you.

Thank you Kacy, Nancy and Karilea  

I'm a hopeless romantic and I have always believed that everyone has a soulmate or a twin flame that carries on into each lifetime.
Unfortunately the course of love isn't always smooth and we don't always get to meet our soulmates right away....nonetheless I still believe

Melissa~

Being a Gemini myself, I truly love this poem.  It really is beautiful and flows like two feathers in the wind.  Brava!

live a thousand lives
rising down into the up
of falling with intensity.

Even a thousand lives would not be long enough. Some beautiful thoughts here. More joyful than usual. Thanks.

I was wondering where to sign in...



I am a double Gem--moon & sun, rising scorpio--er, if y'believe in that stuff, grins

and my sis, twist, is total triple Gemini--

it's amazing she's alive at all.



Good thing tho.

To get to me, everyone has to go through her.

I enjoyed this, as only a twin could.

I'm happy to read you again lovie. A graceful presentation indeed.

LOL There's a lot of geminis at PIP huh?  

Well I found out that I'm a Virgo moon, Virgo sun with rising Cancer....

This poem isn't based astrologically - although yes, I did use the essence of gemini to convey how soulmates are twins - the true lovers, yin and yang,etc.  
I found that after writing tons of soulmate poems, I exhausted all references and cliches, so I thought that using the word 'gemini' would add some creativity at least.

Thanks all, especially to the Geminis!

Melissa~
You knew I'd adore it ... and I do~

Being a Libra ... that 'romantic' stuff sticks to me like glue~

I am a believer .. but you already knew that too~

beautiful and breathtaking.....the first stanza, WOW...

And so it those we live with
and should know who elude us
But we can still love them
we can love completely
without complete understanding

Beautiful is all that comes to mind.
Going to keep this one.
I am a gemini married to a virgo.
