Resilient Sisterhood
Golden light rays seek the tender flesh
upon our cheekbones
Glory, our glances
silent peals of laughter
burst into an exhausted gasp of air
Concentration: deep, profound
as mesmeration grips our cheered hearts
the warmth vibrates into the room
Secrets are known, shown
Not kept away
We hide forever, sisters.
The bond not tradeable
Nor escapable
Anger appears
Frustration exults
Jealousy flashes
Kneels then dies
Why hold on to the despair
moribund cries, bottled
Bottle them up to throw away?
No, this bond
strengthens, primes
pulls us through to expel our doubt
We sisters forever,
The bond merciful
Or purposeful
Childhood warmth and security
Continues on a countdown, a dark clothed clock
destined in my immeasurable moments
One day waking up
She’s gone
the invincible bond, stranded
Two lives diverged
Although invisible ties that convinced our separate minds are one
our bond, oh sweet connection
Is vacant, but there
Forever, us sisters
The bond unshakable
Unbreakable
