Sista

Two roses bloom in my sister's garden

one for her husband
and one for her new born child
She waters the two roses every evening
like the other day will never rise
My sister got married on a warm afternoon
on the 26th of July
She danced, she laughed, she cried
she walked away in her white dress
like a mermaid on the shore.

my sister is sterile, my sister is old
yet she is full of dreams.

as long as she is full of dreams life will be beautiful

I'm sure...... so is she

I like this poem goldenscar and I am not sure how to express why.... "like the other day will never rise" a a jolt that breaks up the good feeling of the 2 roses.... there is a deeply melancholic feel as I read...

I was half-asleep when I wrote it
