Dekum’s Blue

What’s Dekum to you?

The love of our youth,

Or summer’s we flew,

Across ocean blues,

To lands where we grew…

.

.

What’s Dekum, or you?

The nights we were mute?

Or day we called truce?

.

.

Well, Dekum’s a fruit,

Or mural—like muse…

Spread by the joy,

Of memories to ploy…

.

.

If thoughts were like toys,

We’d box them, by choice,

And pick ones to play with,

Like a paintbrush in artists…
