Dearest Brother

For if in all the same we had conquered
Infinite treasures and gallantry

I went for you in your desire to do as
you would have done

Quiet to yourself on a known countryside
you would not leave

I followed this idol along the path
in dreadful battles with rockets & glory

The silence of our minds for so long I
remember we played under the starlit nights

To this descending trait along a persistent
journey I had to take, it was hard not to be afraid

I conquered all my fears to share and give confidence with my own pride to have failed

To have walked in a snow print
saddles to your impression

Along the now distant faded into shadows
a delicate remembered childhood fantasy

If in all the same we had conquered
to have remembered what was

Could no longer be as it is now
sits motionless faint memories

I went for you in your desire to do
as you would have done

To collect one star from each place I had went to show and share with you when time allowed

All that I had conquered was the ocean of distance with the homes now vacant in shambles

The faces encountered with no conversation to say where you might be along my journey home

To have resembled and mocked you from behind not to understand the crushing effect in my attempt to take & conquer my idol

My desire to be & breathe your thoughts
to touch and feel in its effects to be you

In short I became to have conquered the
madness to what we shared in heart and mind

I had to conquer you to finally become me
so what we shared was to be remembered

I conquered for you & me to have an ending

What needs to be conquered now is me & you to be brothers

For what tomorrow might bestow upon us & to be

Brothers side by side
