![]() Dickensonian OdeA Poem by Butch Decatoria![]() Emily dickenson'esque piece or something written in that time period...![]() Oh my dearest Life, Oh soul of mine, Oh heart! Imperfect within this mortal coil, Within our ribs a cage, Perfectly attuned to love and hate To sky and soil, The rage of dying days... Oh how like the wind that craves to rush with sighs, To fly, to wish, My yearning dreams doth the same For substances of lips Made flesh from kiss As corporeal Your touch since, missed Lingers still ... Oh when I close my eyes How perfect my ignorant bliss Oh I pine to fly Away from the ache of this My imagination's lovely will And lovelorn heart, Fallen apart and untouched still... Influenced by a fantasy A childish kind of mind, of flesh, Eyes blinded by your brevity: The beauty of Days' caress Brilliant in its levity Poetic in its might : The heart's glowing light! Oh Beloved! Oh divine destiny, Infinite and true Keep close my soul To find always you... Oh ever after Ignite my starry wish Beyond this mortal flesh Oh heart Oh soul Oh heaven in my chest! I love you still... © 2016 Butch Decatoria |
