fruits like lights
enticing 
moths to the flame

tired of chasing
them away

child of the streets
why do you roam
chasing mango trees

where is your home?

This has an interesting sort of sadness and hints of a place I've never seen, thanks for the image.

There is a particular sadness here.  They can't go home, in their mind, but maybe someone is waiting for them to come home. Waiting for the front door to open once again.

I just love the idea of chasing trees... fabulous, Raen. Wonderfully written; the plethora of moods you've managed to work into a relatively short poem makes it rich and meaningful. Well done.. cheers(:

Wow Raen. You are genuinely gifted.

So few words, but you write with such power and grace. 

I love every word of this.
