You must be a friend (2)A Poem by Butch DecatoriaI wonder how your birthday suit would taste On Groundhogs Day I'm curious how cool your touching hands In our peppered moods? And yet I think you're my favorite Acquaintance and infliction Upon the eyes' leisure, When there I bite my tongue, As timid as tangerine Suns slow to set, Our silence still telling and wet... I consider and call you friend For you disperse the grey and heavy The thunderheads of sadness Replacing it with regalia and gay So stylish your sintilliation of conversations Your body language like the pool Refreshing views and clear cuts through The babble of the rabble not much to say You must be from tomorrow's new Breed of brutally honest and humorous All other spewing hubris But you must be from a stranger world An alien place to be so you... Yet like Summers, in the heat of our youth The moments that Deja vu And dream out loud our foggy recollection The friends I have called true Come and go like falling stars But the brightest stay where they map the night There you are so brilliant a sight You must be a real friend, a guide and then After we have spent all hours blindly high Oh truest North, the bosom of you light, Keep all the lonely ones in awe The brightest light Must be a friend, accompany me here In the dark... © 2017 Butch Decatoria |
