Home

Not one place
One town
One street
One house
One country
One family

Mine is somewhere distant
Where I was born
Where I was raised
Where I grew up
Where I live now
Where I will go

It is a memory or even a dream
Tropical island
Mountainous fortress
Trees with ocean breeze
Winter igloo

I can't point to a spot on a map
Nor to the suitcase I pull around
Nor my photo album

So where do I go when I want to go home?
With the people I love
Who love me the most
A place I can't describe
It's just where I am loved
Where I can go for peace
And for comfort
For a good time
Where I feel understood

My home is this world
The sky all above
And a heart deep inside.

The Poet

I am not currently a published, nor a famous, poet, but I hope that maybe that could change. These are all my own poems, so please feel free to compliment, criticize, or simply comment on them. I would greatly appreciate it. Spread the word, too, if you like them enough!

And if you even want to request a poem by me, I'm your personal poet.
