In all but BLOOD

HOORAY i FOUND IT

My brother
my comfort and hope.
You showed me the world
and also to cope.

My brother
in all but blood
you cared and yet didn't
or better yet hid it

My brother
we smiled, we laughed.
We grew and we changed
until we said goodbye.

My brother
do you know you haunt me?
we are complete opposites
I know you can see

You grew to be a classic beauty
I know don't deny
with sculpted features and a healthy glow
a classic blond...and look clear blue eyes.
You stand a proud 6'1
and I am not done...
an innocent boy...nigh
a strong young man...aye

I know you would laugh as I haven't grown
I know you too well
dark skin and dark hair
eyes the color of those who dwell
in the darkest of caverns

Yet you are my brother ...my sweet older brother
in all but blood
 
Your joy, my jealousy
Your pain, my pity
You laugh, I sigh
Your truth, my lie
 
The little sister you never had,
the older brother that I never had.
Like siblings, like twins
never apart.
 
You are my brother in all but blood

A wonderful tribute to your brother, liked this poem very much.

They say blood is thicker than water, when in actuality, it's got nothing to do w/the blood. The feeling is more than enough.

Nice poem

i liked the poem..about a sisterly love for an elder brother..some times there are relations which are so close ,yet remains unattached or far..the love is right there in the heart..but it refuses to express...
I appreciate ur attempt to bring out whats in your mind..
