Twins --- Gemini

* * * B Beginning on this journey, I rode the cusp of different signs O One path would lead to Venus, yet to Mercury I have climbed * R Reaching for the stars, was a curiosity * * N Never knowing just what might have been, where the other path might go * U Under power of the universe, each complex twist and turn N Now it holds me in its flower, where my destiny would bloom D Deep within my heart, I held a comet’s tail to ride E Eclipsing secrets of the moon, and the stars to be my guide R Reflection of the twin in me, that can see the other side * G Gazing with curiosity, through life’s dark and cloudy windows * E Each pane of glass stares back at me, a entwined reflection shows... * M My mirror image , is she perplexed? I wonder if she knows… I I search her face, but secrets hide, the mimic's eyes are sealed * N No hint revealed,.. she is quite resolved..and like the moths of night I I flutter, as does she, against the glass, to reach the light
