Gemini

The Name Gemini
makes me think of waning moonlight
sights over a valley
I think of starlit twilight
sites where silhouettes
of trees darken the night sky

you exist like a dove-tail
to another
a twin, wonder who he is
living within you
perhaps
or somewhere out there
unborn yet

In your own right
you may have lived and loved
loved and lost
laughed with joy
had an image of you in a child
but you are uniquely yours
in all the words you share
here, in this little world
of poets, poems and some promises

In all that you are
a man with a life out there
sharing tears of sadness or joy
You are you
born under the stars
of the third cycle
the sign of the Lovers
Old and almost forgotten
in the beginning
of Adam and Eve

Gemini
also the star sign
of my beloved
whom I think of
when I see waning moonlight
or when I look over a valley
during starlit twilight
sites where silhouettes
of trees darken the night sky.
