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 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

On Love

by Nazy Kaviani on

Dear 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!
