Home Is When I'm With You

We have our routine to perfection Our way of saying I love you and Wouldn’t want to live without you We’re a strong solid team you and I We are going to make it through this Home is when I’m with you The incessant flow of aches and pains All those appointments and treatments We don’t blow things out of proportion Or make a fuss about how things used to be We’ve moved on taking it one day at a time Home is when I’m with you Now when my arms wrap around you Softly resting your head on the pillow We simultaneously raise your legs Gentle as a ballet that’s well rehearsed Swiveling you comfortably in bed to rest Home is when I’m with you I bundle you in warm cozy blankets Cuddle up with whispers well into the night Pressed one against the other Caressing the nook of your neck Spooning you till one of us falls asleep Home is when I’m with you Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~CAN'T IMAGINE~ 2020 Submitted on April 18, 2019 for contest VERSES OF METAPHORS 3 sponsored by LU LOO - RANKED 1ST
