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

"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
