my roman ruins

you are my rome, 
all roads lead home to you
 
the ruins of my destruction
on the rounding patchy earthen grounds
strewn with stiff marble columns
that have long ago cracked and crumbled
and into several broken pieces 
by the hand of a violent man
 
signs of the holy catholic trinity
stand everywhere 
yet there's no holy space 
where I find the comfort that I need
to rest my weary head
 
bleached bones and skulls 
with sullen hollow spaces
hide in deep tunnels under the ground 
continue to haunt me in my sleep
as the towering roman aqueducts
remind me of the mighty powers 
that fell from grace years ago
 
the via appian way spreads 
far and wide to many places
destroying forces that 
blocked their armies way
on its broken bricked path 
I trod through my sunny days 
and my dark lonely nights
 
yet no matter how hard I fight 
to move my sandaled 
feet far away from you
my warped brain keeps 
directing it's seizing waves to 
cherished memories of your 
youthful tanned roman face
