Two To Tangle -Dinda Minardi

TWO STRENGTHS  (( COLLABORATION )) 

by~ Dinda Minardi

Do you still remember how we played around? 
Mocking each other over our guys 
We were princesses in our parents’ lawn 
Bonded by our laughs and cries 
When family downtime crawled 
We hold each other as we’re the older 
Our maturity has been boiled 
Ready to serves as a breaker 
We are one and stronger 
Always love and respect for you, sister
To fight with you, Is all I willingly to do 
When you give up, I’ll be your whip
As you ‘re a jolt if spirit’s asleep


by~ Poet Destroyer

I could never forget the way we played around.
Yes! We played patty cake to showoff in front of boys.
We built a white castle than, brother tore it down.
You were never afraid to show how much you care,
Especially when we played tag, and you never played fair.
Now your heart is filled with greater love.
Your like an angel that fell from above.
Your invisible wings protect me in every fall,
When we where small you protected me from nightmares.
I secretly enjoyed the way you pushed me around.
You held your head up high, and never let me down.
Our fights where silly ways of building a better bond.
My stubbornness came from trying to be just like you.
Now "the strength of me",
Comes from "the strength of you."


A collaboration with * Dinda Minardi

Dear P.D. thanks for the placement on your contest. The poem was based on my real life, and my sister of course. I'm glad you liked it and reminded you of your younger sister. Thank you :)
