Nobody know me
I am love yet hate
I am calm yet outrages
I am two people yet one body
Don’t say you know me
I am as soft as silk
Yet I am as rough as ragged edge
I am as sweet as sugar
Yet spicy hot
So don’t say you know me
I am a pure wild child to the bone
Yet a flower child with a golden heart
I’m quite like the clouds floating by
Yet louder than anything on this planet
You don’t know me
I speak my mind
Yet I keep my feelings to myself
I am kind hearted
Yet I can tear you apart
I am light like summer’s rain
Yet as dark as winter’s night
How can you know me?
I can love you with no end
Yet I can hate you to a new level
I can hold you close
Yet through you away
Like you know me?
I am light
Yet I am dark
I see things you don’t
Yet I say thing you can’t believe
I am an angel from hell
Yet I am the devil from paradise
So you know me?
For I am Gemini
The child stood in the centre of the great hall
Slowly the fingers uncurled
A jewel to be seen
A jewel began to glow
Unfolding light
Felt by everyone
Wings
Soft and bright
The child threw the jewel into the air
The stone, dissolved into light
The other world released
With its’ angst and despair
Such sweet sadness
In a jewel glow
That, what we think
Of things
That cannot be so
A yearning
That a single tear
Can fall
Unheeded
In the other world
That, an angel
With a hand uncurled
Released the light
Of a tear
That fell unheeded
In the other world
A flame igniting a flamboyant amber,
foaming water shot through the air,
people on the streets sharing fear,
as the smoke spilled into their eyes,
humid breeze carried the cries,
as the blackness from the smoke filled the skies,
Company Number Two was the last to arrive,
then the horror struck,
penetrated the heart,
visions of sorrow ripped it apart,
A blizzard of eyes stared at the sky,
as a child walked on the roof,
and not ready to die,
apparently was trapped inside,
frustration and anger had its fill,
as each face that looked up was frozen with chill,
as the harsh reality set in,
and the flames punished the building,
knocking the child off,
everyone watched as the child seemed to fall in slow motion,
but through all the mess, and the commotion,
it was Company Number Two who reacted,
They saved the child from the fall,
a life spared and proud emotions standing tall,
as everyone gathered to wish the child well,
then there was a mystery, a strange story to tell,
everyone turned to thank the firemen who knew exactly what to do,
but when they looked around,
there was no Company Number Two.
