Could Be Anywhere...

coming home

her voice sounding small
listening to her tears and fears
her call from so very far away.
arms aching with emptiness
bed cold, lonely and single
missing her laugh, her warmth.

calling from long distance
she cries as she spills
looks like longer she will need.
already been too long, too much
come home, darling... come home
let the rest deal with it's own mess.

waiting at airport; watching; longing
anticipation of being whole, complete
a quiver, a twitter, another and again.
her smile of recognition filling, blossoms
sunshine of her love warming, melting
bodies and lips flow together again.

When I saw this I thought it was a retrieved poem from the archives. What is this? I'm confused and don't know what to say. Joyce

It is so good to be home I missed you so much...as usual your poetry is so poignant and beautiful...it encourages the reader to think, ponder and seek the mystic just below the surface...

I apologize I inadvertently posted under my husband's profile...
