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
