encased in amber, unfurled through the trees tangerine crackling flickering leaves
met the earth as soft as the sun dipping low it was fated you’d always be mine to know
and yours to lean on, in summer, in rain both smiling solace again and again
i hear the words in your voice in the letters you write ‘i feel like i’ve known you for all of my life.’
i thank the world everyday that it gave me you your endless questions, the laughter that ensues we don’t divide ourselves into pieces easier to chew i am loved and myself when i am with you
what a wondrous thing to love and be loved to know that it is more than enough
soulmates are rare and treasured when found a pair who’s friendship knows no bounds
my sister never made it to this world
it wasn’t confirmed but i know she was a girl and i knew she was with me in robins by day and eyelashes at night i’d find dotted astray
to the sister i never expected to find
endlessly curious, endlessly kind
someone so different yet achingly familiar my soul tells me that you were sent by her
you blaze in autumn, i bloom in spring
i the a fiery ram, you a scorpion’s sting
two halves of a heart, once laid in twain with the help of the poets, found each other again
