Notes About The Poem

"Halcyon, Heartbroken, House" words Poetry Contest

House

A house is a home
only when I fall ecstatically in love with you, 
feel cocooned in our nest 
with your warm presence 
and tender care!

A house is a home 
only when its beautifully 
painted windows and decorated
doors are open to let in 
my irresistible dreams!

A house is a home 
only when my crimson evenings 
turn surreal by ambrosial fragrance 
from the softest flower-petals 
of my garden of Eden! 

A house is a home
when relaxing in the porch, gazing 
at the gorgeous starlit evening sky,
we admire magical moon gleaming a 
mysterious intriguing smile!

A house is a home 
When at celestial dawn I am awestruck 
watching the sun rise in the vermilion sky, 
The world waking up to the sublime melody of 
birdsongs... blessings of almighty! 

A house is a home 
only when you and I 
create innumerable memories with
our beating hearts entwined,
our life becomes a complete whole...
two parts of a shell,
a perfect pearl shining inside!

Really appreciate your thoughtful comment - your support is precious in my learning journey.
