What makes a home?
What does it look like?
Tell me.
.
Is home the feeling when
~A cat purrs in your lap?
~Your mom squeezes you tight?
~There’s nowhere else you’d rather be?
.
Is home where you
~Rest your head to sleep?
~Cook and share means?
~Surround yourself with your favorite things?
.
Is a home where
~You run to?
~Love surrounds you?
~Selfishness has no place?
.
Is home a place of
~Comfort?
~Escape?
~Peace?
.
Tell me,
What does it look like?
What makes a home?
Come back to me my love
I’ve never been so alone
Nothing changes
And nothing’s new
I know absolutely nothing
Just that I miss you.
.
Everyone asks me
All of every day
If I know what has happening
And all I think to say
Is something soft but witty
.
Disguise how much it means
How fearful I am…
How little I know…
.
Tell me
Where you are.
And where you will be
At the end of this life
Or at the end of me.
.
I can’t look to the future
Because I don’t know where it’s been
Give it one more day
I think to myself
But to you I think
Come back to me.
Another bite out of my heart–
Or two or three
Ouch they smart!!
When they’re not with me.
.
A shot in the dark
Looking beautifully distinguished
Makes kisses into bite marks
Before coming home to dishes.
.
At least home is my hut
The couch greets me each late morning
Along with the kitty and mutt
So I can travel to…
.
What a beautiful touch you provided
Now I must leave
Back to where I started
Now the trees drop the first leaf
.
One last heated buzz
For a single purpose,
To get rid of the fuzz
Maybe love on the coast
.
Steal a friend, laugh a lot
Make me smile
I’ll get cold so we’ll get hot
Make me sweat for a while.
.
Everything ends in time
So give me one last reason to rhyme.
What is peace?
What is solace?
What is a place to call my own?
.
Comfort in midst of things that never cease.
Space and time making all things seem flawless.
Only the things that keep each of us from being all alone.
