My brother died 12 days ago.
I held him until his last heartbeat passed.
I watched my mothers heart break
And fathers world shatter.

I was there.
I watched his lips turn blue.
I felt the heat leave his body
And sobbed into his hospital gown.

My brother died 12 days ago.
I was the one to make the phone calls.
I’m the one who broke the news
To our family and friends.

I was there.
I walked down those halls.
I left my shattered soul
Sewn into the cracked tiles of that hospital.

My brother died 12 days ago.
I swear he took my heart with him.
He left my mind here to listen
To the countless “my condolences”.

I was there.
I saw the 300 people who loved him.
I met some of the countless souls
He guided through life storms.

My brother died 12 days ago.
I am still crying when no ones looking.
I buried my brother in the earth he loved
But his light and love lives in me now.

We were born
In the same date

Beside that, we share,
The same qualification
The same place to stay

Destiny made
All this difference
Now,
I am Blue
She is Red

I hear, they said
Blue belongs to her
Red belongs to him
Whatever,
We have nothing to say

Twin sisters never got up late
this time they face a bubble wake
They joined up to their brainstorm
and never stood back to transform.
a poem about twins sisters
Robin Carretti Jun 2018
How he told her you’re
perfectly safe here
Cannot really go anywhere
So there over here
Looking out windows
Everywhere lips need to see
The rainbow
Somewhere? It feels over
*        *        *        
Lips could imagine
This world how we are
Distancing ourselves
The upper half smile going
lower lip longest day of the mile
When will things get normal
Like a contagious trip

My lipstick feels naked
Trees are not growing
Lips are starting to glow
Online ordering full- lip meal
Our lips tell us how we feel
We are home whether
married or alone

To much smart- phone
Life just stopped dead zone

Amazon another order

Walking apart world devouring
No lip talk when showering
Lip shade doing house flip

How he eats with his lip and my fork
  * ---
       * ---*      * ---*     * --- *            
His cool impersonal style New York
Don't wait too long for the call?

Heavy rainfall watching TV
To much hype this is America
What happen! Just listen news stories
Feeling cold as ice we need warmth
Better advice
Everything here has a price

F-Failure raise your lips
With power
The (Big City) in trouble
Protest we want to get
back to work our lips feel still

Lips the best medicine Spa

Just over ice chill
To dream the impossible
dream  
Life felt taken not what it seems

lip surgery living in this time
Over my lips its misery
State of mind things change
Not a pretty picture gallery
Reading my lip/wise
   *          *          *          
How you outweigh
Your life surprise!!
Take the time do it different
Paint your lips artist- deviant
Things feel smaller cramped
Looking into a looking glass
Powerhouse went down to the
dollhouse
I am happy with my family and spouse
United we stand no shaking hands
Why is everything fast-paced
Enjoy the moments

Lips stop no movement
More patience think
Plenty of time to blink
I love my coffee no time for a referee
Think about the places that
You have been and enjoyed free

Your lips will travel
Watch a comedy or marvel 
Lips have the power and potential 
Lips of an Angel lips fighting like the
rebel life around the world sad and cruel

Speak the truth know what you want
And if you don't appreciate yourself
Lips can be so inviting or take two to make trouble don't bust my bubble maybe two is better than one. Lets move don't stall you are missing all the fun
Where are you?
Inside of me
But I can't feel you
You're too far gone

But, I know
We will carry on
All we have to do
Is remain strong

I am broken
When you are strong
I can't do this anymore
I'm too far gone
But maybe you
You can bring me back
In spite of what
You and I lack

We will carry on
All we have to do
Is be strong

Won't be long now
Til we're standing there
Together we'll reign
When life's not fair

We'll be there together
Our soul will entwine
Forever and ever
It'll All Be Fine

All we have to do
Is remain strong
Together
As One
We'll Carry On

The twins came today.
They took their first breaths
On this first day of May.
Today, and all days,
I swear and I pray,
To love them always,
Come what may.
The twins are Brigid and Ophelia. Mother is well. All is good.

We make our own reality
without a word
of vocabulary
tell me a story
write it in the stars

sing my blessings
shout my praises
tell me that you love me
by spelling out my name
in your mind
and in mine.

tell me our voice comes from above
its all better for the wiser,
who knows who to love
who to love

and that's you
and that's me
and that's you
and that's
telepathy
another realm of love
