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
