Sisters, We

Sisters , We

For I have lost my sister, dear,

when foul was fair through eyes unclear

A looking glass reflects no ill,

if that before has conscience still

Yet sorrow strikes remorseful chest ,

of carnal deeds I now confess

So green the envy in my soul,

its stench and bile consuming whole

For she the cream so constantly,

my parents' love I failed to see

           <>  <>

              <>

Dark moths did feed my rancid quest;

envious eyes belied her zest,

Oh, how the times I wished her dead,

now words I cringe of having said

A rose so crisp; a flower in bloom

whilst I, a bud, still closed in gloom

Infectious lies; words chastise,

her simple heart quelled my despise

Elegant swan, how graced her art,

each movement thus, an angel impart

                                               <>  <>

                                                   <>

Begone this day of poisoned deed

and allow my wicked heart to bleed

My sister's love I stole for greed,

with wanton heat I took his seed

That day I laughed and pushed the door

to find her cold in life no more

And darkness came upon my way

mine eyes grew black for light of day

Cold fingers grasped a note held tight,

with struggled breath I read her write

''Sister, mine, by love decreed,

I want not what by hearts agreed

If, him, you love then perfect be,

my broken heart now sets me free.''

                                                 <>  <>

A silence now for foe or friend,

my voice now lost no more to send

No more to speak from lips condemned,

a jealous heart can not defend

Betrayal is free, twins were we; 

the only thing never shared with me

Each night a ghostly mirror be,

she strokes my hair ceremoniously

No words are said, for tears are free,

yet somewhere there she waits for me
