Where the home is

My love

The home is

Where you are

 

Not the money

Not the fancy appliances

 

Not even any amount of 

Sweet promises

 

Can make a house

Like a home

 

My love

The home is

Where you are

 

The close

Circle of the family

Closes on itself

 

The room might be tight

So are many of its ties

 

Any circle has a center

Where it acts like an anchor

 

My love

You are the anchor

In which family starts

 

As the owner

Of the light

Puts it in this way

 

The women of the house

Is the light of the house

 

Oh God

Please don’t let be

Any house

Without a light

 

To the cycle of the life

To the circle of the family

 

To the light of the house

To many of her memories

  

My love

The home is…

…Where you are

Oh, if the men knew...

how to read the mysterious book of women. I, myself, am the most illiterate one.

 Dear Nazi, Touched, and IRANdokht, thanks for your beautiful words. As they say, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Your poem is beautiful! It is full of heart and soul, and love and respect. On any given day of the year, there is never any subject more important to talk about than love. Glad you did it today. I wish with all my heart that this is the day others in the world are doing it, too, especially the ones who can stop wars.

I am not...

obviousely a poet and I rather write about something more important. But you know? I realized this is the most important issue for me right now and words don't matter. It's the human feelings that matter and conveys through the words and translates to something different by everyone's perception.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.
