Embers of Home

one day i saw myself far away from here,

in a place where the clouds seem to die into the plain horizon above my head.

shadows drop to a new low.

raging fire blazing at my feet.

 

the crows peck at the trees to the left

the doves gracefully fly over the meadows to the right

 

this isnt home

 

home is where the fire uses gasoline flames to burn uncontrollably

where wrapped arms give a sense of completeness

where the only angel is the one laying beside me

 

id give up forever to see your waking eyes after a night of slumber

to feel the softness of your chest after waking suddenly.

to hear your heart beat under my ear.

 

thats what life is worth

a breath, a beat, a tightly held hand, three whispered words and many more

softly spoken at any time

 

if this isnt what home really is

then i wouldnt know where to find it

Ah...

 

See? I suck as a poem critic. *laughs*

 

BTW, if you haven't checked, there are more responses in the Critic's Corner... I just posted min here for two reasons:

 

1) So you know at least someone has responded

and

2) I had already posted by the time I had remembered the Critic's Corner. *laughs sheepishly*
