Like Atlantis (edit)

A Poem by Butch Decatoria
"

Retitled from "Love & Atlantis" comparative poem and why good things end or get destroyed.

"

depress me sunlight

when i am feeling clouds

angry to throw lightning

     my pulse a thunder-head,

earthquake within my heart's cage;

 

the world torn apart by hurricanes

dizzying, spinning

     no news is good news

when love is wuthering

in heights and lost

 

like Atlantis

my soul's fury : the volcano

     melting away history's belief

(in forever) for the story is a ghost

triangular dreams with legend

 

of what I thought was real -

the corporreal and tangible,

like holding his hand,

kissing his lips of cream...

 

sewing forever's possiblity in the seams...

 

so forget me moonlight

Love's Atlantis is the cry in your beams,

sorrow has lost it's fight

goodnight...

  hope...     

                              unweened...

What a wonderful comparison here. Never would have put the two together. Good work. Love many of the lines as individual pieces as well. Such as "sewing forever's possiblity in the seams...". Just awesome. Kudos!
