Away From Home Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

Never in my existence have I found,

Infinitely woven hair so resilient that it

Covers my soul, rendering it free and safe

Over the pains of what fading away brings:

Luring one hopeless man towards an

Eternity of loneliness in inebriated states.



Should I feel as light as a feather?

Away from your arms that tower over

Nostalgia, in currents and waves as I long for you

Through your ocean of sophistication and splendor

One with the deities that have been passed on through tongues

Surrendering to you, on their knees; trembling and fumbling in speech!



Envious towards the tulips because they

Seem to have your unending devotion

Terribly wanting to be one with you

Regardless of reality’s harshness and lull blue

Enamored with your hair of multiple locks and curls

Lullaby heard in a distance from your mouth

Laying on your eyes that assume waterbeds

Adoration will soon be held along with sparks of glinting stars.





Alas, lest I lose you should I be stuck in prayers?

Bound to be answered through time, unsparing time

Regardless of what fate holds in its frail little hands

Again and again, I am drawn to you and your totality

Consuming me effortlessly, I am yours to keep.

Oh, my truant beloved, far away from you feels

So far away from home, my soul is restless and weary that it

Anticipates fervently for your hair, your eyes, and your entirety.
