Coming Back Home

Cold winds blow outside so very strong Only to whisper you’re not where you belong. Motionless sitting morose by the fireplace Insipid frozen heart in the glow I gently place Not knowing when it will again throb and melt Getting the warmth of your touch long unfelt. Beyond the blue hills at dusk you’re gone Alone I wait for the rising sunburst dawn Charmed by flowers of my garden you’ll return Knowing you’re mine for your love I yearn. How much intensely I’m missing you now Once you’re with me I’ll convey somehow. Miles afar in the wilderness don’t any longer roam Enthused by pining heart, say you’re coming home.
