Phil Capitano Poet Rhyme

Two-Story Heart

Home should be a safe place,
Somewhere you want to go,
Not a deadly battlefield
Where fear and anger grow.
Home must be a garden
Showered by loving light,
A haven of tranquility
Not a ring in which to fight.
When you need a pillow,
A safe place to lay your head
Take comfort in my softness
And where angels daily tread.
I'll champion all your causes,
Catch you when you fall
Because home is where the heart is
And I am at your beckon call.

Don Johnson January 6, 2017 at 5:20 PM Home should be a sanctuary of love and care, but exceptions occur ?? Phil Capitano January 6, 2017 at 6:10 PM Yes this is particularly poignant because a friend has recently been the victim of domestic abuse. Thanks for your comment.

Tim Smith January 2, 2017 at 11:01 AM Truth rings through your words Phil. Home should be a sanctuary. Phil Capitano January 2, 2017 at 11:09 AM Thank you Tim, someone I care about deeply is in an abusive relationship and I feel helpless.
