The following poems are a study in poetic form using variations of the same theme, that of sisters. The use of titles of songs by "The Veronicas" of which I found to be moving was my prompt and are included in each of the poems, and with which I wish to pay homage to these two sisters and their music. They are as follows:
Song Titles by “The Veronicas”
-Speechless-,-Heavily Broken-,-You Ruin Me-,-Let Me Out-,-You and Me-,-In Another Life-,-I Can't Stay Away-,-Worlds Apart-
Sisters finding their way back to each other. Free Verse
Heavily broken bits strewn across the memories,
but tiny shards of life, shattered fragments,
arranged so carefully deep in her beleaguered mind.
Where once stood two reflections
staring from the maquillage stained glass
now dances one illuminate soul.
Allowing the fading music to fill her,
as notes float gently from absent lips
that once shown so bright
in the alluring appeal of geranium glow
from the mirror they so loved,
filling her with deep despair
and leaving her speechless.
Through winds of tempest their fate was blown,
a whirlwind of life and emotion.
Each the same but so very different
longing for that lasting connection
that they couldn't see was there all along,
feeling imprisoned in this lonely space,
where within this darkness you ruin me.
Whether here or in another life,
even though we may be worlds apart;
yet I know, I will again bathe in your raucous Kookaburra laughter
and the warmth of the sun in your bright smile,
as we harmonize to the sweet sound of the Willy Wagtales
like we did, as they sang out side of our childhood window.
Oh whistling trees please set me free,
please let me out of this loneliness.
Take me back to the less complicated time
when we played and day dreamed of our ultimate release
into the freedom of our grown up place.
Little did we understand that fame was just another cage.
I wonder if you stand before your mirror
and see me staring back at you.
Do you wonder where I am, who I'm with on rainy days
when the air seems cold and life seems distant.
If so, then see me smile through this glass,
and know, we will be together again, because I can't stay away from you.
It will always be you and me ...forever.
