Serious sibling subluxation... 
rapprochement somewhat salvaged dislocation

WELL THERE BLOWS THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Is it all about two promises and two hearts set upon the same goal?
Or is two about two beings  becoming one, sharing the very same soul?
Or is it more about...

An echo of lovesome passion, an inspiration of unborn theme,
A muse hypnotic, adept at composing aspirations of my dream,
Omnipresent voice of being, poetry is my love, eternal as time,
Shaping expressions of mind, embellishing moments sublime.

Have You 
I’ve been around and about awhile
Seen pain cogently hidden by a smile
I’ve seen the concluding moments of the day
Saw clouds roll away as blue turned to grey
Have you?

Felt so dearly loved and loved...

And so it begins with just a little tease,
Being her dear friend he invites her in.
Holding hands with a smile made of grin,
A fable of a boy and girl she imagines. 

She likes the boy...

Skidding along the ice-covered ground
Traversing like a runaway hound
Eluding, hopping on series of mound
And lines of snowflakes over a thousand pound

Skiing from a snow peak so high

brutalized and bare
bandaged and braised
bashed and butchered

Anguished

Slayed and silenced
slaughtered and seduced
strong-armed to surrender
squeezed and squashed
bleeding hearts

clad in elephant vestment
with an eternal spirit,
pugnacious  against
the system from the walls...

Like sands
Through the hourglass
My thoughts percolate
Between instant gratification
And long-term resolution.

Like an unfaltering pool
Of sinking sand
My dissatisfaction agglutinates
With foolish gibberish
To obscure optimism.

Like a withering stalk
My shrivelling aspiration

Resulting in dispiriting
Deprivation of...
