Shango Cheesecake

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

Imagine then
How it was, must have been,
Afraid of the things
Can’t and couldn’t see in the dark
Being human it is our fear
Of the unknown
Or the goosebumps in nights
Imagine then
Discovering that the twilights
Of stars caressing the void
Moon shining her mystique
It is undeniably there
You see the light?

Darkness is not theirs
It’s simply an empty room
A husk from alienation
the locusts of a dead before creation
A new evolution
To be better people
Escape their hands, be free with
Truthfully
Your chi / energizer
Bunny's
Hunted habits
Taw I taw galaxies
Aloft in
The dark
The bodies
There on beyond our horizons sky...
What is Devoid
Is lacking
Light

Life

Love.

Sight.

really like these lines:
"Your chi / energizer
Bunny's
Hunted habits"
your theme is such a heavy topic but wisdom does not deny a bit of humor does it?! and fear is one of the first enemies one must confront in a spiritual pursuit ..going into the inner .. i like your broken style of language .. its rough on the edges and lends your poem as a voice for the common man .. i like this a lot .. i am an introvert to the core .. have always been that way and even at 70 those inner challenges remain fresh and inspiring ... this "...Taw I taw ..." struck me as a bit more than needed after the lines quoted above .. not sure about that ... but that was my first impression ... vast theme .. well said .. easy to follow your free verse form .. and the sound wisdom trickling down in closing leaves me reaffirmed in my belief in Light ..and truth ... and the pursuit of the spiritual ...
