This is yours, as well Lift your chin To look at me Into my eyes My heart My soul And see there All the chambers Where you’ve left Your traces Your mirrored image Shines From behind my eyes The vanilla Of your breath Co-mingles With my own Hear your piano And violin Live and pulse Within my blood See how your verse (In your own hand) Is scribed upon My very being Feel how your touch Still lingers, warm Upon my face Taste the way Fruit of your kisses Is savored within And know That this, Is where you are safe That here, Is where you are loved That you are home ~Ed [This message has been edited by wranx (09-30-2002 05:27 PM).] |

You write the words that complete unknown longing...EXACTLY. Saftey, trust, security--and? tenderness. Yer a teddy bear.  |

"You are home"---as I was reading along, I had that very feeling of being home---of being loved and cherished, safe and protected---but then reality sunk in! This was someone else you were writing about and now I'm feeling unloved and uncherished, unsafe and unprotected---at least by you, dear Wranx! tehe This was poetically poignant and a very enjoyable experience, until that darn reality sunk in! ~ Home is where the heart is, and she definitely has a home in your heart. ~ EA |

There's no place like home..there's no place like home... Very nicely penned, a very comforting piece of poetry. |

Whenever I read the word Shelter I think of the Rolling Stones and their song of apocalypse and need clawing through the darkness. This, however, was something else entirely. Soft, real. Full of hope and care. |
