Take Me Where?

Take me home

Where the sunsets are golden
And God’s gossamer curtains ripple between the mountain tops

Where the seas are clear as the sky above
And the waters tickle the shoreline

Take me home

Where the food is simple
And tastes all the better

Where the cabs run for cheap
And smell a little funny

Take me home

Where childhood was magical
And to this day feels like a dream

Where make-believe was the truth 
And the future did not exist


Take me home

Where the nights never end
And laughter is our language

Where I drown in myself
And moonlight shines behind my eyes

Take me home…
I’ve lost my way

I like this because it has been paced out really well. The repetition of 'Take me home' is a gamble, it could have made the poem sound sickly, but I find it is intelligently used. I imagine this is a great poem to read out at an open mic. I am not sure about the last line though it seems that the reader has been taken somewhere and then is knocked down by a negative feeling. I think that the poem shines with positive feeling up until that line. I don't know. See what you think.
