4/6/2017 1 Comment Lost Treasure by Brenton BoothLost Treasure I’ve looked for it in bars in old worn books in dreams that seem ridiculous now I’ve looked for it in jobs in trips to foreign shores in friends that never got it right I’ve looked for it in hookers in small expensive bags with guaranteed hangovers in long walks to nowhere I’ve looked for it in the face of my father in the timber boards of the theatre in fights with mad eyed devils all screaming for blood I’ve looked for it in rooftops in flaming sunsets in running away I’ve looked for it in clouded mirrors in stiff door knobs in overpriced tickets to the ballet I’ve looked for it in footsteps in teardrops in turning to escape I’ve looked for it in gods in heroes in passions I still can’t understand I’ve looked for it in discipline in laziness in years of complete solitude I’ve looked for it in poetry in prose in other forms not yet known I’ve looked for it and looked for it all my life and found it before she said goodbye. ----------------------- Image - Julio Greff Bio: Brenton Booth lives in Sydney, Australia.
