Twins

The same fair visage
falls on you both
and for that my eyes have named you twins.
Perhaps my heart as well, for in recoiling from him
these eyes have sought you out
more than ever before.

But not in love do I seek you.
None of my thoughts wish that direction
for you will never be
the one I seek.

Yet, in being twins
even if only in image
to find ease in your presence
might give me shield
to find ease again in his.
