On The Mend

My sister, praise her name
Said come on sis it'll be a game
So we waltzed into the room
Which all at once lost it's gloom
She knew of course you be there
I acted as if I didn't care
We sparkle and we chatter
I pretend you don't matter

My sister bless her eyes
Said come on sis he's no prize
So we laughed out loud and long
As the band played our favourite song
We both flirted and we charmed
I ignored her on your arm
We glitter and we shine
I pretend you were never mine

My sister the very wise
Said come on sis dry those eyes
So we charmed our way in
And gave the party zing
We were graceful and so sure
All the men wanted some more
We shimmer and we glisten
I pretend you even listen

My sister love her to bits
Said come on sis he's had his chips
Come and party join the throng
Time to stop feeling you're in the wrong
We laugh and have a blast
Wonder if I can even last
We laugh, giggle and we joke
I pretend you were just some bloke

Sound like a great relationship with your sister! I like the personal way your relationship with her comes across in this poem. You have a unique style of writing, I really enjoy..

I have two sisters...so i know the bond
lovely poem

If all was light...then I would have never learnt the dark...from which such truth evolves
from which evolves the light...

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Denise you know what it's like, so they say men are like buses, they either come all at once or not at all. Thanks for the insight though you know how much I admire your writing.
