Just enough to write.

Home. Where my mind settles down
I dance with springing feet
I make faces at you, you call my mischief
You come home you bring happiness
I let go, my body feels weightless
I am but a child and you are my playmate
I get excited quickly you join in my madness
There’s no pretence no hiding
We face each other’s fear, we fight them
This home that we created
Stands tall and strong
In the cold harsh weather
We have each other to hold
I promise to not change
I promise to stay the same
After many decades you know I’ll say
Haven’t we just met yesterday?

The gentle warmth of the peck that you spread on the edge of my quivering smile,
That one, the one that soothes my soul,
Melts the heart like glistening wax.
The wax burns again, the light shines again.
This time does it shine brighter? The probing ‘rise,
The clouds clear out, it’s a moonlit sky.
You by my side, your fingers crossing mine;
Humming the tune of happiness, whispering lullabies.
Ripples on the blanket, giggles on the floor;
Your words in my ear echoes singing lore.
You play with my knuckle, a weird game I say
Twisting it slight, I glare in frisky spite.
You breathe on my shoulder, you fall asleep.
I stare at the rim of your inert being.
The room is dark, I can hardly see
I trace your trail of slumber, I close my eyes;
Tucked up in your arms, I can rest in peace.
The night turns deeper, another shade of light.
