Come Home Poems - Poems about Come Home

70 Degrees in August
The white vinyl plastic skirting waves at me There is a discarded orange peel Halfway down the driveway From a mailbox walk. I stepped over it yesterday and smiled thinking of Ryan. He loves oranges. There is a curly blonde little boy Smiling at us over a baby gate. Soon, we will make breakfast. Dad is on the couch...

I am away from my dear home town
A song series on the Freedom Struggle of India based on my father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor’ (1998 to 1994) Epic “Patradoot” written in 1930 published on Poetry Soup in 2010.

It Sounded Like You Were Trying To Evict The Words From Their Home On Your Tongue
I have been watering it for months— the small black bulb in the cupboard that I never let touch sunlight. It swelled in the dark, fed on steam from my cooking breath, fat with the whispers I never spoke aloud. I told myself it was only a seed, a pebble in soil, nothing more. I would open the door, look at it once, and...

The memories of ties that bind Are rooted deep within the mind Though we might wish for something new Down in the heart we know it’s true We travel so long and so far Here we can be just who we are Step by step we’re all moving down the road Take me home…. Take me home… In our lives we all need...

Home
If home is a place Then I lost my map Hearts got misplaced  Vocal cords snap I scream and yell for one more chance Then beg and plea for some closure My legs are tired of this dance Now I've lost my composure  Teary eyed and red Weight gained and lost All the blood I've shed Promises given with fingers crossed Lies spread around Passing from friend to...

The Silence Between Us
Will things ever go back to the way they were? I took for granted those smiles, those laughs and now I don’t see them anymore. How do I undo what’s already done? Did I let go of your hand somewhere along the way, or were you gone before I even knew? Your voice sounds different now does it mean you’ve fallen out...

Premium Member Make War, With Love
It’s 2022, we’re in the final battle for the soul of the world. There is no Indo-European root for soul, the Greek and Germanic roots mean quick-moving, fleeting, mercurial. I’d add evanescent, impermanent, ephemeral disappearing, diminishing, dwindling tenuous, brief, short-lived. Whatever forever—that’s where we’ll be after WWIII. World, home, think, breathe: man, woman the vital force in man, the Anthropocene, men...

The Return
The Return The quietness spreads thickly, the atmosphere even thicker. Nature has lost its voice as the house glowers down at him caped in silent stillness; a muscle waiting to twitch! Side-stepping the house’s deafening glare, he slips into the secluded garden where nostalgia waits to ambush him with memories unfurled everywhere; hanging in the trees, draped across flower beds lounging on the wooden bench. ...

Because of Montana I am with you, now. Because of Montana the wind still whispers through the pines. Because of Montana I can lay next to you even here in the desert and heat shimmering, cement of a city. ...
