Identical Twins

Identical Twins



Time is passing
Life is fleeting
We will all be memories
Some day

We bid them farewell
Those we have known
With no compensation
For broken hearts

Each life has known us
Though we are strangers
Your eyes are so similar
To those I loved

But you are leaving
As I am expiring
We are remembering
The faces lost

I did not know you
You do not know me
Identical twins we
Of diverging lives

Each love we have known
No different from those
Exquisite beauties
We held in each other’s hands

I don’t know why
You can’t see, you are me
The same reflection
On an alternate page

Just as much passion
No less the grief
Our tears are counted
By our hearts beat

Part of the ocean
Our love is remembered
Part of the ocean
Of humanity

Time is fleeting
Life is passing
We will all be memories
Some day

Indeed, we will all be memories some day. Yet it can evoke a lot of angst when we see a kindred spirit who fails to notice our need to make an imprint on each other's lives. Your poetry seems to speak personally to the reader. What a gift you share with us! Love, Carolyn
