Twins Observed Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Man was created with the genes to harbour sins
inside his mind to be released when opportune,
My soul was pure until I heard about the twins
I tell my heart that we shall meet them very soon.
But will they gaze away, admire distant sights?
Will there be gremlins hiding, sabotaging hope?
And douse all optimism, turn off all the lights?
'Sun, ' said the Moon when it was time to hit the sack
'I shall be watchful now and brighten up the dark,
sleep well and dream until the morning, then come back
it is the moment when the wolves no longer bark.'
'Well thank thee, Sire, ' said the Sun, I treasure sleep,
though I observe you miss so many evil deeds,
your light is dim and there are wolves that look like sheep
they hide their crimes in heavy brush and prickly weeds.'
'There must be laughter', said the Moon 'and salty tears,
we must not judge and measure man by Heaven's rules,
and when that Saturday, the fateful moment nears
I will be watching in particular, two fools'.
'And so will, I have been watching them converse,
may I keep company to you, I beg you please,
they've never met and how could he be really hers
surely it must be nothing but a silly tease? '
'I beg to differ', said the Moon, 'I see their grins
and hear sweet whispers as they pass through cyberspace
there was some talk about the powers of some twins
and it was mentioned that they sometimes dress in lace.'
'Just like a movie', said the Sun, 'watched from above,
we are so privileged but may not interfere,
and tell me, Moon, what do you know about this LOVE? '
'Just hold my hand and warm me up, you silly dear.'
