After all these years
I'm the same as I ever was
still a child at heart
(plus some older parts)
I've not changed because
what was important to me then
is also true today
nothing and no one
will ever sway my way
yet unlike so many
who know not their station
and only identify themselves
by their occupation
I'm aware of who I am
it determines what I do
don't need a certificate
to prove anything to you
we may not see identically
or exactly the same
but I can agree to differ
diversity is the name of the game

They cover your soles
your heels
and your toes
and they render you dressed
when your ankles are exposed
your shoes can stride forth
with an elegant air
and your turn-ups can flap
with a devil-may-care
‘cause your feet are now swaddled
in a pair of pure wool
and are identically matched
in a delicate blue
with a column of ducks.
Fighting like a child even though a grownup.
Right or wrong choosing together.
Identically different, but mentally the same.
Encouraging even for a single thing.
Neglecting the bad ones each other.
Dwelling as a soul together
!FRIENDS!
sitting on the steps of a church
on a brisk autumn day
with nobody in sight
leaves are falling
birds are singing
it is oh so quiet,
and i am off work again tomorrow
once upon a time
a very special lady joined me here
then a very vicious monster quietly
attacked her from the inside
today will mark year 16
i hold her favorite perfume
in my left hand
bobby goldsboro is singing about honey
i too am looking at how big
a certain tree has grown
we carved a very simple poem on there:
'equal love from two
will always reign true
when it comes from two hearts
made of identically similar parts'
that poem is on my mind when i give God Thanks
for her presence in my life and her overall inspiration
to the man that i am now
though i still curse the very vicious monster,
i still feel Bless Everyday for the time, though brief,
that i was so very honored to share with her
aprecio tu amor siempre, mi dulce ángel.....
Being an identical twin means you do not have a name
For the first eighteen years of your life but keep your happy heart.
You are called “Hey, you, Twin!” or “Stone Twin!”
Except by your friends who are amazing and can tell you apart.
I could not wait to leave home, so I could wear my own stuff.
My identical twin wanted to dress identically, this was so tough.
I could not wait to get out the door and be called my own name.
I did not tell anyone I had a look-alike, who looked exactly the same.
Now we are older, and we get a kick out of dressing alike.
It takes us hours of deciding, because we can rarely agree.
I like clothes with words, a motto, or moral, or a monster on a hike.
My twin likes to wear florals, old people clothes that irritate me.
We have a twin laugh that is creepy. Our whole family rolls their eyes.
This laugh starts out loud but after a while turns silent, which is cool.
Silent laugh, our children say, not understanding or able to surmise.
That twins have a sense of humor that follows no sense or rule.
My home is bleak this evening because of winter.
This outing was fun, yet I hunted faithful cover.
To deter us colds and to wear around the home.
Everybody precisely grasped the cold syndrome.
Snowflakes fall quickly from the lonesome sky.
Bettor isolated influence in the warm sway,
They carefully structure a shroud high ascending.
On top of the enormous, white-encrusted sapling,
I'm accommodated before my splendidly blaring fire.
Additionally, we're glancing slyly out the cold chore.
I long for these dreadful days to instantly cease.
Also, rediscover the initial wonders to increase.
I look longingly on our all-around enriched city.
I admire how much individuals celebrate pretty.
The adornments on the monstrous tree staggering.
Plus, I admire the sparkling star standing as leading.
Isn't it a specific time for one bettor year of progress?
I believe the world will gently ease unsteadiness.
Identically, every conflict will eventually evaporate.
Winter snowfalls and magnificent rainbows may iterate.

We are a perfectly mismatched set.
We share contradictory alliances in Peace
We conquer complimentary foes in War
You quell the unnerving anxiety that haunts me
And I haunt the quelling worry that unnerves you.
My emotional lows keep your mental highs grounded, well-balanced, and sane
While your emotional ups grant my mental downs the conviction, confidence and trust needed to take flight.
.
May the discrepancies we harmonize bring the peculiarities identified by our inner circle
because they misunderstand
the eccentricities that keep us identically opposite.
We will thrive in eternal impermanence, blissful in our gloom,
satisfied with our greed
We are a perfectly mismatched set
We all have two trees, growing within us.
Only one can grow fastest enough to weather the worst storms.
The master gardener plants the root ball, combines the mulch, and the top soil,
taking great care, to see the the two trees are planted identically.
Holes where placed, depth of the trace, sunlight exposure, and supportive rods, to withstand storms, are driven end and small saplings are securely tied.
One tree, the roots grow like wildflowers and cactus. Straight out, and shallow.
The other tree's roots grow straight down, and deep.
One tree's roots represent the building blocks, that attract the spirit.
They are, Kindness, empathy, forgiveness, and real love.
The other tree's roots represent, ego, prejudice, jealousy, and arrogance.
The master gardener, waters and fertilizes them the same, and monitors their growth.
When the time is right, the tallest tree is transplanted into a vessel.
The shortest one, transplanted to a greenhouse, to grow to normal height.
The trees within us, are unique and have leaves like fingerprints.
Once their height is accepted, birds seeking a place to nest, find their branches, strong and sheltered.
VISIT ZANZIBAR
where the spelendors beach found from far north to east,
as well as identically you shall encounter all over the coast,
Its cloud handsomely shining in blue light,
and it's sunshine sunning so bright exquisite,
hence it's beach looks cleaness and neat,
I really miss the word and sentences to explain it,
because it's endless beauty and excite,
hence, visit Zanzibar, you shall admit,

Lee and I are identical twins. We look, sound, and are dressed identically.
It is 1958 and we are heading back to school from lunch.
Sing-song Lee thinks it is a normal May day; I realize it has more potential.
We are not going back to school, I tell her. Her eyebrows start to brunch.
She screams and wails, I have to cover her tell-tale mouth.
She is the dutiful one, but then I remind her of one thing.
I am playing hooky and I am not doing it alone, so I turn her south.
She shakes her tears off, knowing I have her; there is no more sing.
I have been the leader for a long time, boss of sister and brother.
Lee has no idea how to flip me for this role; I am firm like grandpappy.
We return to school later trotted there by our very angry mother
Who has switched us about six hundred times, and is not happy.
Why don’t you ever try and be the leader? I ask Lee, mad now.
I know it is because she is terrified of me, kind of gives me a wow.
She is way too afraid to tell me this, I realize as I shower.
I sleep well that night, recognizing my ultimate twin-leader power.
Self confident
I would feel inconvenient
to be dead,
Yet relieved in freedom
from trimming toe
and finger nails
and receding hair
advancing down wrinkling neck
and softing shoulders.
Although not confident
I could grow
satisfied with fictional fame,
self-grandiosing glory,
I remain curious
how timelessly satisfying might emerge
historically famous fictions,
glories of grandly granted otherwise.
Confiding ancient secrets,
I could feel confluent
intuiting alive
resilience in freedom to survive
culture's soft-spoken rhyming terror
flirting with authenticity
of memory's patterned identity
and difference,
identically coincident.
Faith
masquerading hope,
Light
fading dual-dark air without
within
True life
camouflaging trust's pervasive love
Confident
I would feel false
to grow prematurely dead.
Declarant Rights Were Apparent
Seems so obvious and already apparent,
That rights she discovered are declarant,
In her will;
Would fulfil;
Identically related having been inherent.
Jim Horn
I in you, and you in me,
We're related, we have the same genes,
We were taught by example for many years,
We learned the same techniques, you can feel what I feel,
When our eyes meet, we see what we've been through,
We can quietly nod at each other, and know exactly what to do,
It is no surprise to me...
That our eyes can identically see,
And when we rumble, it's a head to heart fight,
We'll go back and forth to prove who's right,
But in the end...this is what we'll see,
How much I love you, and how much you love me.
