Lovelorn & Loveless

Lovelorn & Loveless

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

David-sculpture  Eros' wings

Lovelorn youth in search of Spring

his only hope in traveling

a peace from broken promising

poetry's earth-shattering sage

magic an optimistic stage

Loveless is a puppet to self-worth

Lovelorn has yet to learn.


Love defends as guilt will fight

lessons of fires and appetite

Loveless is insatiable to hide

new ecstasy festooned with pride

Loveless will wail and cry

Lovelorn wakes free to fly

learning that love is self sacrifice


yin and yang so prophesied:

gifts to waking minds sublime

all seeds are sown in fields of time...


As Loveless screams his agonies

wide eyes drool over magazines

Lovelorn runs piningly

for more to always feel


for something golden as the sun

Loveless could care less

empty having none

defeatist before having won?


Love defends as guilt will fight

Both will weep when they see the light...


Tears from Less will burn regret

'Lorn lets flow to Openness

peace of mind knows happiness


both alone yet never so

and when two meet

as one will teach :

burying all the misery,

both similar with their sorrows

all must wake up now tomorrow.

Alone or less, love will be

found in fields of dreams that sing

David-sculpture / Eros' wings.
