Red Balloon / by: butch decatoria
Remember
When every touch
with all its good intention
and kindness;
We were once
Tender
Like lips at first kiss,
deeply we dive...
inside / one another's eyes,
Seeing with feelings
Past the weight of fevered flesh:
A dervish flight
through those walls
layered with doubts, heavy
as the stones
we since turned our hearts into...
Remember when
Every word
was lovingly spoken,
an uplifting wisdom
like feathers’ wings:
the soft music of our mouths,
when life was floating
lanterns
and briefly we‘re kept far
A/part
And still you have me soar.
Remember, when we are finally as one,
whole, a hearth warm,
and ****
those wet silences
become undulating music like
the times we demure
our mouths still drinking, singing
instilling lessons
within the depths of Heart’s thirst,
which only absolute certainty
calms and quenches… remember
Keep your light so bright to carry on,
knowing tomorrow will come
yet when I'm with you
I am made new,
Even in the dark where stars burn
supernovae
Remember
when
in the break of morning
As eyes open from trenchant sleep
(better than adrift or hollow)
Remember, how stunning that view
inhale—surprised like
Awakening to life's wonder, that...
To thee and thine,
fearlessly I say
depart and drink in
the rain
freedom love,
the sky and eyes will awake..
And if we have yet to meet,
since I know
Truth and believe in Love,
When I fall for you,
Thank all the heavens vast, I fell for you,
I will fall up...
Because I remember
now,
it's you,
Lovingly loving
Love,
who fills my very cup,
floating in the drink
of Us.
(God how I love you).
