Home...?

Home...?

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

i am moved - a tree whose roots are deep

transplanted by the gravity of your heart,

southwest sleep on clouds

to the unstained sea-sweat of Diego

inside the arms of divine escape from the heat

Las Vegan venom streams from this pale skin

no longer buried in the sand

hiding from the burning lights... soul-suckers and feeders...

i've lost everything i knew,

a ghost now, reclaiming a greater life, a new

destination : one last chance.

 

Home in the empathy of enduring love,

never felt so together - yet - unfinished...

a treasure hunt for your favor,

sapphire eyes i hope sees me

i am holding out my wounds and platter of my heart,

a cup of my fears - of loss - of us

the mornings when we love in the glow that is yet the sun

strong laughter echoing in this designer box of wood

home on stilts, a canyon's dollhouse

boy & his wonder / full

feasting on each other's wishes,

giving each other spoon-fed emotions

contentment trailing

as only they can attempt... it is home to me...

this is raw and honest, a different picture of "home"- I can relate, I have yet to find my own home, moving from one disillusionment to the next... very nice write!
