Brother Poems
#brother
Poems about brothers, the love and closeness between siblings. Brother poems explore the good and bad side of family relationships with brothers.
You are taller than I remember
We both grew up,
and I do not recognize you.
You do not recognize me
either.
I wonder if you
remember us
like I
do.
I see us,
at the kitchen table,
the clock ticking
a reminder of sleep.
We talked about
shared secrets,
favorite colors,
and how to be better.
It was a long time ago.
We were so small.
My room was green.
Yours was blue.
That table is gone now.
The house too.
Nothing made it out of there intact.
Not even us.
But I still...
and I do not recognize you.
You do not recognize me
either.
I wonder if you
remember us
like I
do.

a kitchen sinking drama
he has a boat
and keeps asking
me to go out
on it, I’m sorry,
but I won’t, mate,
I don’t float

Little Doe
Oh, little doe,
I see how you struggle.
So refective of my own.
I wish I could do more.
I wish I could protect you.
I want to save you.
Oh, little doe,
beware of sharp teeth
as the bite of a wolf is unforgiving.
I do my best to warn you,
but it's from sharp teeth
the warnings come.
Oh, little doe,
I hope you do not suffer
this same fate of mine.
I do my best,
but sometimes my jaw aches,
to close on soft limbs.
Oh, little doe,
you are as kind as you are soft. ...

Proud
You’ll always be my little brother
A man who toured the States
Dropping bass lines like no other
It’s your presence that resonates
Getting choked up by memories
Crying while laughing out loud
Music gifted us social remedies
Most of all you made me proud

I Can’t Stop Crying
He told me he knows now
He knows what it all feels like
He knows what I mean
When I say I feel like a ghost
i didn’t want him to know
He knows what it all feels like
He knows what I mean
When I say I feel like a ghost
i didn’t want him to know

If you run out of breath
I will carve out my lungs for you
Only then will we both breathe easily
I will carve out my lungs for you
Only then will we both breathe easily

again I find myself coming forth from deep darkness and chains of guilt
no one can free me from my pain my scarred terrain is evident
I spent a millenia brewing you spent the centuries finding happiness
shining in the dark places it could be found
we are finally free together brother but it seems time has changed us both
you have so many places to be adoring faces to behold
still I find you coming here from time to time imploring why I don't join you
I consider it but your entourage makes it clear i'm suspect
even with the Father I am...

Feathers of the Same Bird
Feathers of the same bird,
One plucked at the tail and the other from the wing.
Singing the same song,
Falling at different speeds.
The tail feather glides gently down,
The wing feather flies with the bird just a moment longer.
The tail feather reaches the ground,
The wing feather peaks among the clouds.
They sing in harmony,
One soft and one powerful.
One escapes the nest,
The other clings to the side of its mother.
Why did the tail feather let itself fall amongst the leaves and sticks?
Why didn’t it fly alongside the...

Roses And Relations Reborn
Roses And Relations Reborn
I woo my sister. “If the lover of Prospero’s daughter were not fictional wouldst thou not be his leading lady on the stage called life?”
“Dost thou make oracular airs? Such prophecies are not made in jest,” she says.
“Ah, just a portent of love glimpsed from afar.”
“Given my impeccable femininity attested to by thee wouldst thou let a bitter man’s choice fill thy shoes?”
“Since our womb abode was the same surely to share the same bed would be a...

Last House On the Right
There's a family at the end of the block
Inside the house the father is raping his son
The kid is screaming because it hurts
The house is burning with hot love
Daddy is now murdering this kid
It's Ok because it's not me
