Her eyes
Like the beacon to her soul
they guide me home
Home is where the heart is
As the owner of my heart
to be with her is home

THE SAD GNOME
Oi' Billy no mates off on home
I already own a garden gnome

Rhyme

You never knew I did this
But once I was a fly
I buzzed right over top your house and
Carved a heart into the sky
I planned it days beforehand
I never said a thing
I just went out and did it
A kiss blown from my wing

Rhyme

I gaze upon you as you sleep
I climb into the bed
I softly kiss your dreaming eyes
I gently lift your head
I place it overtop my heart
The heart that beats anew
No more to ever be apart
Honey, I've come home to you

The lonely girl sits at home
She sends messages to a boy
She is interested but wants nothing
He is interested but wants nothing
Pictures are exchanged
Messages are sent
Neither is satiated
The evening ends
The same day begins

Dear Cheryl
My time here – in here – is rapidly unraveling.
It will be soon – when I begin travelling
back to the place and space I call home.
From this adventure- possibly never more to roam.

Here I am, there you are
Why is it that you're so far?
The times I see you are so few
I wish I could come home to you
The hours seem so very long
At least I always have your song
To listen to, so sing for me
Hold me in your melody

Beauty beyond comprehension
A figure in elegant form
Style commanding attention
Smile inviting and warm
To the depths of the sea I would seek her
To the ends of the earth I would roam
To the farthest star I would fly to
Until finally I'd found my way home

"Simply You"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Long before it was even known
You developed the Beauty which is now shown
Causing others to desire your voice on the phone
Inevitably, I feel it is because God Is Where you call home
And if that is true, no direction of your destiny is wrong

When I saw you there the other day
My heart got caught up, swept away
I had to keep it self contained
Though through my chest and shirt it strained
It wanted to go home with you
I understood since I did too
The pull of love we have is strong
My Bluebird it's for you we long

Rhyme

The house is not the same
Without having you here
No how was your day honey
Or holding you near
No kiss on the lips
To wish you goodnight
I can't wait till your home
To hold you so tight
It's been only a day
But I want you to know
How happy you make me
For I love you so

My life
My heart
My honour
My light
My cares
My mind
My thoughts
My lies
My truth
My pride
My dreams
My reasons
My history
My fears
My fight
My darkness
My feelings
My home
My hopes
My soul
My future
My money
My time
Combined
I box, I seal, I wrap, I tie.
I give to you my wife.

Oh God
- I felt like you weren’t listening
Lessons burning down
Calm settle in
Knowing my skin
Nothing to fear
Inside burning desire when near
Her lips so like home
Driving home
Home is where I want to be
Where all roads lead
Her smile to me
It’s all all alright
Baby and me
Oh God
- thank you

Just sliding in
- home
Her lips sure are fine
- against mine
Love the hold she has on my heart
It’s one of a kind
Our love is so fine
Ya we are so so fine together
I’m callin’
Callin’ her name out
It’s her I want
- pressed against me
All night long with her
All night lovin’
Ya she’s all mine
Lovin’ loving her

W hat I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume.
A beautiful aroma that wafts around the room.
N o need to be coy, we have the same desire.
T he passion within us is an all consuming fire.
E very day our love grows stronger.
D on't worry about anything, just hold me longer.

The song comes on the radio,
It must be summertime.
You are the calm; the storm is all mine.
You never wanted me in your life.
I wanted someone to come home to;
I wanted the song to be about you.
I took your pictures off the wall,
This is not our home,
This is not my call.
Swearing, "We could have had it all."
You never wanted to fall.

Not seeing you every day,
Knowing you are just there
Is death..
Not seeing you every day
Knowing that you are not there
Is death a thousand times..
One more day with you,
One more with the silence
That fills up the distance,
Knowing you are just there,
I can head home,peacefully
Through the breaking night,
Missing those gaps.

Romanticism
|
There shall my love go amaying,
in love with her own deliverance,
entitled to her own fait
and she cares not of me,
nor my broken heart anymore.
Watch her go amaying,
as I sit alone
in winter's storms,
and I shall wait for her,
till days come 'round,
till she comes home again,
too love me once more,
no more shall my love go amaying.

Whispers and echoes
I’ve known you before
Souls touching and singing
Through lifetimes adored
Hold on so much tighter
The wait nears its end
Soon dreams manifest
And for you I will send
Home is with you
Safely snuggled next to me
A life so deserved
You are finally free
I’m yours forever
With you I’ll grow old
On this journey together
Two bodies one soul

My dearest JoAnn, I wish you were here for I would say
“I love you my darling, Happy Valentine’s Day”!
Up there in Heaven you know it’s true
That I’ll always love and remember wonderful you!
We celebrated our first in 1963
You will forever be my Special Valentine and I will always love thee!
Your card and flowers are at home for you
This poem is inside for you to view!

I miss the way
———————-
I miss the way you looked through me, I miss the times so cautiously, the way you briefly smile, reminding me to stay a while, our glances, entrances, our chance is, however brief, with your heart ill play the thief... I miss the way you made me feel, on the way home tonight I reel, from back to front, why be so blunt... The way I feel... Is real!

A COCKATIEL WITH A BUDGIE COMPLEX
So for a laugh, I thought I would buy Mo a cockatiel
Even sent it to a speech therapist, to learn the spiel
Soon it arrived in the post and, made itself at home
Where Mo was more than happy to let it freely roam
Days passed and from the cockatiel not one squeak
Until a day it rustled up and said to Mo, tweet tweet
Indiana Shaw . . . *o*

I set a blanket down for us
Two chairs, a cooler, let's discuss
The evening plans, stay home? go out?
Together's what it's all about
The sand is cool now, end of day
The sun is setting far away
Far across the ocean, west
This time of day's when I like best
Take my hand let's walk the shore
A moment etched forevermore
A lifelong lasting memory
A photograph of you and me

Ode

A summer love, so riant and so warm
Underneath the rays of gold
Though covered with sudor, I want to be around your arms
Forever is nothing but what I hold
And yes, it was but summer
Goodbyes are kept until we're home again
We spent the season out of the boundary
But it wasn't like what I remembered
And so I yearned for home, refrain
The way back home is my quandary

Ode

when I looked in her eyes I got lost for a moment.
Hypnotized by her Beauty I had fallen in love.
I realized I was staring as she began to smile my heart beating fast I haven't felt this way in a while.
Butterflies in my stomach infatuated with curiosity I started to get nervous with a little anxiety.
Something came over me so I went home and looked it up.
I found out I fell in love and I couldn't get back up.
