Born
conjoined
lived as one
haunted, they cry
for a better life
hiding in dark spaces
they dream of how they might be
if only they had been born as one
in a world of possibilities
their crying can still be heard to this day…

  1. Such a dark and despairing poem, Anita. Perfect for the image!

    1. It was such a sad image, Diana…

  2. A haunting poem, Anita! :-)

    1. Thank you, Yvette… the image haunted me…

      1. Me, too! Lol! :-)

  3. These two shared their torment as one, but as they can tell you, it isn’t the same… Evocative poem.

    1. Thank you so much…

      1. You’re welcome :)

  4. This poem has a spooky feeling to it, Anita. It’s perfect to go with this Baroque image!

    1. That image was a little disturbing, Colleen…

      1. I’ve written my poem with more information from Britta. Art from the Baroque period is disturbing for sure.

        1. I would read it, Colleen, but can’t seem to find it…

            1. Thank you, Colleen… the perfect poem for this image…
