My beautiful pets; and the Gemini of my love: Two poems in one 

These little flowers  

that pop in from the backyard 

of the universe 

are the souls of soils 

made from the light of a Sun 

that is speechless of a love 

expressed silently through the orbits 

of its cherished satellites 

And they have a melody  

that resonates beyond their years 

like hourglasses that are ever flowing 

without having to be turned over 

in memories that need no effort 

to be rewound in the turntable of our hearts. 

And I know the Gemini of my love 

We are the strands of the universe 

that mothered and fathered after creation 

Such is the story of our sacrifice 

that we understood the distance between us 

even as we wove the motion of the Zodiac 

to keep everything flowing 

even though we were victims of a rapine. 

Is there a land so populated by our love 

that has no ocean of poison between us? 

Is there a glory in history and destiny 

that can never be parted by villainy? 

And I can think that time can’t take away 

you, Mum and Dad, and all those faces 

that were witness to and part of our crusade 

There could have been countless thorns that pierced 

the points of our limitless souls 

like an acupuncture working to heal us 

even as it hurts us 

There can be no tsunamis of evil deep seas 

No pa(u)ll or pa(u)lette of treachery  

that can deluge the promised chosen land (peoples)
