Desiderium

An ardent desire or longing....

Home resides in a hearts longing 

to return to Blockbuster day's 

and warm summer nights. 

Playing tag by moonlight 

cigarettes smoked in the cover of darkness 

park bench philosphy and drunken revelry. 

Skipping school to go down town 

adventurous bus trips taken 

as we tripped by the water front. 

Weekend parties attened 

it was a fools paradise 

without a care in the world.

We thought this time would never end

even though we partied like it was worlds end

and that world did end

with all it's simplicty

now in the mirror 

an old man looks back at me

nostalgia's a heck of a drug.
