Gemini

you once told me
I were your twin

the one who had always been missing

And I
balanced my soul
on your poetic declarations...

Somehow I'm missing all over again

tumbling over these moments etched in dates
milestones to reach and climb

for gravity to laugh upon me.

You hid so many sides
of our purpose

I only ever knew
one half


and I admit
it makes me wait for you
to come and whisper why
into the ear of another

to pass along the message....

Its not ideal
when I long to find you
and say

Happy Birthday

my beautiful boy


when all I want is to forget youre alive..

and it never fails to amaze me
that those who hurt me most
were born  
on this date...

and still

I want to hold you
if only in part
gemini


and spread your weight among my veins

if only to see
how the year has worn you

and how your eyes touch the scales
dipping them below.

Gemma -- I'm a gemmie, too, and I thoroughly understand this write.  (PS -- great picture).  Maybe, he'll be back; it's not like a gemini not to divulge the truth at some point.  Take care and hugs, jo

Gemm, I'm sorry you ache.

You've expressed your feelings beautifully.

The thorn on the rose was quite evident, and yet the sleek of stem and full of flower draw fragrance to our fine tuned thoughts.
Nice Write Gem

"and spread your weight among my veins"

~ My goodness, Dear Gem Drops, you have such a brilliantly abstract way of expressing yourself!

BTW, I like both sides of you!

Love ya lots!

================================


I read this over the weekend and was left lacking words...
I too am a gemini...its damn hard to live without the other half of ones heart...
even harder to breathe when kicked in the chest.......
you write what I no longer find my own words for.

We believe the past could be undone...but time always reveals ...
the lonely light of morning...the wound that would not heal.

Your replies are gorgeous, thankyou, each of you.

I thought I should explain, I'm not the Gemini, I'm a libra. The gemini's i speak of are two influential people in/out of my life born on the same date (weird), whom I have tried to love, yet seemed to never give any back.

confusing, yeah, it confuses me too.
