After all the laughter in this house after all the small forgotten tears I can still remember all of my yesterdays and the way you carried me through fear you picked me up when I was weary and the light from your eyes came to me you never told me to go away letting me tell you all of my deepest dreams as the sun washes over the last of my thoughts can you hear the far off silence of the song take me home to where the river makes me love to where the moon is always dancing and the stars never go from my heart take me home the river calls me back to hold you close never let my love go when the years have little left for us your beauty was with your touch the lasting days I wanted to keep so I could find you once more in my dreams sitting on the porch in your swing you reached for me as I held on to you for those days my heart left me for all the rage I looked upon you as my best friend leaving me to find this life again and we kissed our last goodbye I cried for you as I thought I die yet knowing in the recess of my soul I would see you once more take me home to where the river makes me love to where the moon is always dancing and the stars never go from my heart take me home the river calls me back to hold you close never let my love go I will breathe again when I can feel my peace along the shores of my heart with you holding me |

Very vivid emotions in this romantic poem. Sad reminiscing, yet the heart still overflows with love and longing ... to be taken home. I loved this read. Margherita "Forget every touch or sound that did not teach you how to dance." |

I don't often see a painting in my mind's eye as I read poetry, but this was one of those times when I did. A most beautiful piece of poetry with all the color and form of the masters. More feelings and fewer words please |
