Your playful fragrance finds its way into my deserted heart

Perhaps elope me from the pit of loneliness by your spark?

Please shine a glow as my life is so dark

And I look at you in wonder bits and starts

With tiny little things you do, you send your wondrous darts

 

A candidate for my soul-mate is what I need

Because inside ,I’m out there, screaming beneath the deep

A privilege of being near to you: What more should I seek?

With the thoughts of you troubling my sleep

For you, upon my own self-esteem, I’d celebrate a feast

 

My anger sublimes and my ego is bleached by your innocent face

Educated by you, now that I realize life isn’t just a race

Failures in life are insidious but you could resurrect me from this plague

To be always there for you is what I crave

For perhaps within you lie my home: a uniquely warm place

Author's Note

Home isn't just a physical and permanent place. We feel safe and can take refuge when we reach home. Because home really is a place where someone's always thinking about you, care about you and you are always thinking about that person. So on this basis, this is just about a man who is lost in wilderness of life and finally found a way back home when he falls in love. I just want to clarify one line "Because inside, I'm out there, screaming beneath the deep". What I wanted to mention with this line is that usually we felt despair when we feel alone but we always try to cover it up pretending that we are not and our mind is vibrating and not exactly at the same place. So what you act and feel is not exactly the same. That's what I meant by two place, inside and out there. May be I wasn't successful in saying what i wanted to say. That's why I'm explaining. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.

Your words are true. Home is in the people we love and care for. Thank you for the amazing poem.

A moving and powerful piece.
You've taken something highly persoal and made it applicable to everyone, the language you use is dense but it works here.
You've managed to say a lot on very few words :)

I really enjoyed this piece! I thought the lines were well-written and the essence was captured perfectly. I could most definitely relate to this poem, as could many others I am sure.
The poem itself was short, but the message was powerful. You definitely made your point. Kudos to you! :)
