Feels good to be home
home, where the heart overflows
into bowls of steaming pho
soothe your soul take off your clothes slip on a fluffy robe
you’re home
nowhere else to go
I’ll run you a bath
dip my toes in foam until I find what I was looking for
your skin like a starry sky covered in water drops
I count them one by one with my tongue
have you ever tasted night air
on a beach waves rushing in crashing
leaving treasures you keep on a
string around your neck
as a memory of the day we fell in love?
Seeing yourself in my eyes
leaving no room for disguise
I pinch myself
close my eyes and open them
that’s all the time you needed
to build a home plant a seed
grow a treehouse in my soul
you’re far away but I hold you close
you’ll write songs and
I’ll write poems
journey within some more
taking time to fill up our cups
then do nothing but love each other up
