home sick

Overview


My dating life is a sequence,

Knotted in a blue rope

I have been in many ships,

The name of my home encrypted in their banners,

I have boarded and alighted


My dating life is a sequence,

Knotted in a blue rope

I have been in many ships,

The name of my home encrypted in their banners,

I have boarded and alighted,

Anchored in unlikely shores

In turbulence and in calm,

We vowed and promised,

Took oaths and exchanged words,

The first one said, I will never leave you,

The next morning I saw her in his arms,

I will hold your hand in the stormy nights,

A month later, she went for a venous arm

The third looked me in the eyes,

I thought she was the one,

Promise me nothing, sweetheart, I said, 

She offered her breast and comforted.

Green was her color.

I sought love for the wrong reasons,

I found love in the wrong places

And they fed on me to their fill

And on they went, from one ship to another.

I can see the lighthouse.

Like Odysseus I long to be home.

TRIED

They would discuss how their husbands want to marry a second wife and how it is a good idea because the “small wife” would help around with the chores

I actually do admire their generosity when it comes to honoring and submitting to their husbands.

Everyone dreams, everyone wishes. Might be the whole red door or white picket fence but for Dona, all she wanted was to be at ease and have more peace.
