This is a poem describing two women and how different they are but even though they are at the opposite ends of the spectrum, they share one link.
My searing eyes stare you down
As they meet your iridescent eyes
That are diamonds polished and perfected.
Your luscious lips speak words of wisdom
That I could never possess.
Your feathery hair is slipping below
Those Aphrodite like shoulders while
Your garment is of the most sinuous silk
Wrapping itself around your lissom structure.
How unfair is it that I am across the room
Staring you down with departed eyes
Which are blocks of coal, all sandy and dry.
My cracked lips utter profanities that
I know she could never endorse.
My straggly hair is striping my
Colossal clothing with repulsiveness
As my frayed wrapping is far from pristine
On my hideousness of a body that I despise.
How unfair is it that I am across the room
Staring at a woman just like I, who is
Way more incandescent than I could be
But is my twin sister?
