The Youngest Light
Dedicated to my dearest youngest sister, Happy Birthday Lucy (May 31) Age of novice years, a glow of purity along with a smile of innocence, born with a tiny frame yet exuded an ultimate presence. A light like no other, tremendous capability, but how so? In a sky of darkness, you are a tiny dot of bright light surrounded by ones of a larger proportion that casts a shadow...

The Coca-Cola lamp made a circle of light on the nightstand— (soft and amber) barely touching the horses beneath it. You lifted the needle up gently, and set it down lightly again: “Bye, bye, Miss American Pie…” We didn’t say goodbye. Not really. Not the kind that...

Premium Member My Sibling Sister and Friend Without Spite
My sibling sister and friend without spite or rivalry, I loved beyond compare; Athena-like and lovely as the night, your soul, a brilliant flame that burned with flair, gave light to me and soothed my manic fears; maternal saint and healer, you alone have cared for...

My Twin Passed
In the years, I’ve walked this earth, Half spent in service, a self-testament to worth. Through war and peace, I stood my ground, After combat tours, where courage was found. Family tragedies left scars so deep, Murders that haunted my nights without sleep. Conditioned to march through conflict no matter the haze. Immune to the impact, I find the warmth of a...

Having you around
At first, having you around was always a bummer. You didnt leave me alone the entire summer. Now i know, that was just out of love. I hope your looking down from the heavens above Even the doctors face was shocked when she died My sisters and brothers , they all cried The colour from her face was...

It's that time of year. Pictures are posted, Congratulations shared, Songs of joy expressed, And pride shining bright. Everyone cheers; the kids have passed. Reports are posted; This is it, what the year's been building upto. They're promoted a grade And happiness cannot be contained. Of course it shouldn't - they deserve it. As I look at it all, I am both happy and sad, I fear...

The Boy in Rags
Barely covered head to toe, he stood shivering in the shadow. Waiting, looking through empty eyes, families dressed in their Sunday best. Walking in and out of the restaurant across the street, not sparing him a second glance. But he didn't mind; all he wanted were leftovers from the dustbin, because his hungry little sister, back in...

Premium Member You Took the Wind
You listened to the lessons in the stories that I told, and nestled in my shadow when the winter winds blew cold. I kept you close, beneath my wings, when shadows came to call, and when your gaze began to shift, I fought the coming fall. I pleaded with the darkened night, the very moon beseeched, and painted you a portrait of the stars you never...

A trembling earth panics and cracks tortured and teased by the bullying wind the ground gives in cornered by gusts and my red maple falls ripped at the roots the windstorm’s fury fizzles to a breeze and people move on swayed by the sunlight I watch from my knees in the dirt of my garden as an arrogant sun beats me with heat how they relish the rays that freckle my skin and bask in...

Premium Member When Summer Is Gone
Alas, my dear, we must away! From Summer homes upon the Bay. To winter in our warmer nests, In Southern climes, which suit us best. Your sister's grand debut went swell! Gentlemen flock where ‘ere we dwell. Invitations, voguish ballrooms, Soon she will ‘meet well’ her fair groom! Colorful flowers, is her way; Your Sister just as bright and gay. Of Summertime she is...

Sisters My best friend And worst enemy Just leave me alone Always there for me I steal her clothes We share everything She buys me things That she needs Envious again Competing beauty They say we look like twins She's prettier than me Too long without a visit Moved in right next door Came 800 miles Just To be ignored Her option of me Matters more than most Too my face, critical Behind my...

The little boy had cried He's all watery-eyed He should not have lied His sister really knew Her eyes black and blue Her brother threw the shoe She, feeling sad Went and told dad But thought she was the one who did bad By not telling On a sibling that has lied Makes you a liar...
