Coming Back Home

Consoling is echo of love, forever I have heard and known
Oh, how foolish was my youth, searching destiny all alone 
Meeting you was utopian debut, and as I did, you felt it too
Indelibly in memories etched, there is no life without you
Never will I do that again, being on road has not been fun
Glad I trudged when I was young, now that trek is all done
Back I am in your hold, as melodies bold, tenderly unfold
Acceding to euphoric feelings two amorous hearts behold
Conjuring images, once dormant, latent clues tugging anew
Kindling now, bright and true, as clandestine passions woo
Home again, I feel charmed, hypnotized in seductive glance
Obsequious in your loving arms, adoring eyes of romance
Mesmerized in soul’s liaison, as bells of joy toll on and on
Elated now, I end my odyssey greeting you in newer dawn

There is nothing like being back home especially after a period of wanderings. It is bliss to be embraced by loving hands and surrounded by caring people ! In this beautiful acrostic, you have enumerated the euphoria of being at home. Which ever poem of yours, I chance to glance upon is a contest winner... ! Great ! Enjoy your gift, dear friend !

"I feel charmed" :) This thought brings a smile and I can relate. (For a few reasons) This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Soft and romantic, holding the right amount of passion. Beautiful in many ways. ~ Brandy

My favorite lines: Home again, I feel charmed, hypnotized in seductive glance & Mesmerized in soul’s liaison, as bells of joy toll on and on// the first pulls your love in, the second resounds with it!
