The Idea Of...

The Idea Of...

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

so far, alone

in days of want

in nights of hollow wish

i can not shake the hush

seems everyone has someone, and

the idea of    love

acosts me

in images / in noise

a couple embracing in the park

sharing secret meanings

between their kiss

as i wander / thirsty / as i walk...

 

so far, a rogue

with my own scars of battles lost

searching for a second soul

to drive me crazy

to annoy me / to know

craving an odor

a touch / a somebody

who never asks too much

talk about him with my Martini friends

and co-workers who color

at hearing of what positions

we partook

of last night's meal...

 

so far, self-gratification

a quick, crude cuisine

compared to the exotic dish of another's flesh,

i won't just settle

so still sleep alone

hermit with a t.v. dinner

longing / a wish / that love :

a bed / the idea of :

a man

to call

home...

gonna learn how to cook.

nicely written. This particular part meant a lot to me.

so far, self-gratification
a quick, crude cuisine
compared to the exotic dish of another's flesh,

No need to be alone anymore. Then the conclusion was great too

a bed / the idea of :
a man
to call
home...
