I love my sisters
We are not
connected by bonds of blood
Nor ties of DNA
Rather we have
bonds of stories told
Of tears shed,
hugs offered and prayers said.
We have love for
each other
That will fail but
still stands
Love that will be
tested
By the sweet
temptation of boys,
The clashing
conflictions of interest.
Any other trivial
issues of Venus;
The planet of
women.
May rise like a beast,
Attempt and try to
waver and sever.
Voices raised and
fists clenched
Palms outstretched
and eyes bulging
Legs at ease and
arms akimbo
The stances we
have when love is administered
Either by a rebuke
or in excitement.
My mountain of
confidence,
And my canopy of
love.
My karaoke and
dancing partners,
recipes swappers
And companions in
crime and in joy.
My sisters, not of
blood
But of stories yet
untold.
Of children unborn
and of husbands unwed
For the love I
feel for you
Will and should
stand
Come hay or rain.
I love my sisters,
not of DNA ties,
But of experiences
woven through time.
Of escapades imprinted
in our memories.
Of clothes handed
down and bags shared.
Not to be thug;
I love my sisters
from other mothers.
Who through the
pitfalls of heartbreaks
And ecstatic
elevations of joy
Will be.
