Different Twins

poem by: R.T. Aquinas
Written on Apr 19, 2018

I miss your sharp pointed chin,
Your prominent cheekbones
And your mischievous grin.
It's lonely at home
Without you here.
I miss the way the top of your right ear curled in.
Your eyes as blue as summer's sky
To contrast mine, ocean-grey.
I, clumsy and lanky, where as
You were always graceful and slim.
Your feet so slender and cute
Where mine are short and stumpy.
A smile always on your face
Even when you were grumpy.
It's strange how different you and I were
Even though we're twins.
Your curly blonde locks fell halfway down your back
Mine just reached my shoulders.
Farewell Dear Sister,
You're forever young but I'm still getting older.
I miss you.

Thank you Frank. I'm glad my love for Maria is portrayed well. I still find myself calling out her name from time to time, just waiting to hear her reply.
