My brother and I

LP2187

My brother and I

Always fought a lot

How much I cried

He didn’t care or forgot

 

I hated him badly

Thinking he was the worst

But I’m realising sadly

That he was never cursed

 

Because at times

I really despised him

But writing these rhymes

Expressed my love within

 

I would have never had

Those such amazing moments

And I am extremely glad

That we made many atonements

 

We grew together and learnt loads

If it weren’t for him, I would be so different

After our journeys on the twisting roads

In my heart, he is forever significant

 

So now I’ll take him for granted

He doesn’t belong in any family but mine

He’s made my life so amazing and enchanted

My hate for him, I will try to undermine

 

I hope one day when we’re older

We’ll cherish each other and never forget

That we can finally be just sister and brother

As for my childhood, to him I’m in debt

 

My brother and I

Might have fought

But when it’s goodbye

I’ll remember what we wrought

            [I wondered after you posted this whether you'd seen mine on the same topic, but couldn't guess.] Yes siblings are treasures, despite the fact we don't always see eye to eye and can squabble like fierce enemies. Lovely and beautifully rendered with great imagery and a heartening poignancy, thank you for sharing.

              I don't think I read one of your poems about the same thing, I looked for it but couldn't find it sorry. Thank you very much for your kind comment. Also I'm in the middle of writing my first sonnet which you kind of inspired me to write after I've read many of your sonnets!

              • Cheeky Missy

                It's in the first two pages since those early days here I'd either post what I'd most recently penned or else an old, old piece I wanted on here for readers.
