Where the home is
19-Jan-2009
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 let there be
No 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

by Nazy Kaviani on Tue Jan 20, 2009 09:32 AM PSTDear Midwesty:
I don't know what changes you made to your poem, but it still has the same effect on me--it makes me really happy and excited not just for the love that you so obviously feel for a woman, but also for knowing that love is alive and well, still making the rounds!
The bliss and joy you have described is not unfamiliar to me. The truth is when two people love each other and enjoy each other's company, they don't need a lot of space! A love seat in front of a TV, a small carpet by the fireplace, or a dinner table with two chairs, are all that two people really need, no matter how big or small their living space is.
Thank you for letting us know that love is alive and kicking in your corner of the world, making the rounds, hopefully reaching all soon!
