Twins

by ddavidd   Jun 21, 2019


Mirrors shy away when I look at me
I think in me one could never
believe things I see.

There is no win
in fray
between me and my twin,
between the wings of fire
flanked by me and the one
hidden in me, in within.

I believe we are equal doubts
trying to figure each other out.
Each one a step ahead of the other.
That is how we like fibres
are warps as strangers
and woofs as brothers.

    I just read your reply, and you told me before I could reply on your comments. Thank you for reading all my poems, that means a lot, and if there is something you feel like pointing out please feel free to do so.

    But this is not why I am replying to your reply.

      Yes, You are welcome here or there.

      It is one of my successful quotes: "Time is the distance between perfection and the perfection lost"

    There is philosophy in every thought that comes into our mind when we start to make deep questions. Once you start asking yourself questions, you make the 1st step into a whole new world. Many people live on the surface, but only those who dive into the bottom of their existence and their personality find this different taste of living. It might be a bitter taste, but it's definitely more interesting that living by the surface. Why am I acting this way, why am I feeling that way, who am I ? As if I have double personalities, as if I am a stranger to my own-self.. I have asked these questions countless times until I started to decode that we are very delicate, very complicated beings. It's almost as beautiful as tough as it is. I hope I am making any sense to you! A GREAT poem, indeed.

    First of all Im sorry I havent left a comment in a while!
    This is interesting, what I see in myself when I look at the mirror?! When I asked myself this question, I had an answer...
    “That is how as fibres
    we're warps as strangers
    and woofs as brothers.”

    Maybe this is it, or maybe that is how I took it. My answer is, it depends on the day, on the mood, on the location of the mirror. Sometimes I praise myself, sometimes, I beat myself. Other times maybe reassuring myself. But what I’m sure of, it is always different, it is never the same.

      First of all, thank you, dear Star. Second, I am as guilty as you are, for I haven't been active or half active ( as usual me around here) like before. But regardless, you are one of those who I check all their works. But most of the time I have nothing to contribute or I know this and that, is brilliant, and this and that may not be to your potential. Though of course, most of the people do not want to hear the second part. But unfortunately progress is not definite, we are doomed to make mistakes. and without the intervention of others to point out those mistakes, we would always be deluded between our potential and our comfort zones. though what I called doom is exactly the engine of the universe: our strive to better ourselves. To fill up the gap between the perfection, and the perfection lost.

      Of course, in case there is a TWIN, everyone confronts IT, or experience confronting IT, in a different way.
