All or Nothing

All or Nothing

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

Corinthian Guidelines echoes

that Love is not perfect or boastful...

     nor keeps score of wrongs...

 

My imperfect heart aches

to make this better : our days,

in the throng long

still winter cold

     your eyes so blue of icy songs

     lately unseeing my feelings, retold

obsessive on our bodies sprung

hungry for hearths & spring...

     and my cell-phone to ring .

 

Common sense tells me we are

    as good as it gets

          to the last drop

               the best of the best

never the worst - of times,

surprise us

parties

of more than five

     not needed to play / fields of lucid dreams

unrealistically

no one fits you better than me

a glove? perfect?

maybe, but surely - snug...

 

And yes I boast,

yes vainly so

of treasures - your chest,

my deadman's head to rest

     

     insanely show our current magic

trends

tastefully - by two deciding

      how to fill a home

      with photographs and stories :

family framed / pictures displayed

furnished bliss - this is, where we stay

living

in view of the bay

setting sundays : our moment's

clay...

 

Although paradise is not without rain,

we remember the better of  lays we feign

without regret - clean up our mess

          create art from the stains

 

Love is All or Nothing.

gained...
