My Gentle Brother Poem by Juan Olivarez

My Gentle Brother

Rating: 5.0


My Gentle Brother, of skin most fair,
Into whose eyes I may not stare.
Your warm carress on my skin I feel,
And I know my love for you is real.

you warm my soul, brighten my heart,
May you never from my life depart.
My mood ever somber when you disappear,
I always wish to have you near.

My Gentle brother, of face so fair,
Into whose eyes I may not stare.
I rue the winter's skies of gray,
And long for your warmth, and golden rays.

a poem. Has a nice way of making linguistic archaicisms (most fair; mood ever somber) sound necessary and natural;
