way past the moment of space
I face another day

I am scared
But I don't have a shield
I am lost
But I don't have a map
I am homesick
But I can't get back home
I am falling
But I won't be caught....

A summer abroad
Homesick for my family
Silent nights abound
Building a snowman from sand  
My loneliness melts away...

Sundown city,
Sunday stranger.

     Storm-swept,
     neon-dimmed night.

Stranded, solitary,
lonesome wayfarer.

     'neath a hollow,
     homesick half-light....

Been few and far between, been homesick

My one and only Uncle Leonardo
Who moved few years ago to Chicago
Came home again last week
He said, he was homesick
But then, he just got tired of shoveling snow.

The Moment We're Born
From the moment we are born
We are homesick for the womb
We now know loss and cold
No matter how long our life
The pain and sorrow
Of being away
Will never get old...

Stepping inside, George saw this super-hot chick
He brought her a drink and he thought real quick
   He'd have her at all costs
   So he got them both tossed
But for her coop that hot chick got homesick...

Rudolph bailed, said “Florida’s call’n me” Nick  
But fleet on his feet, ol Santa’s too quick 
Once again, he’s gone rope’n
A replacement he’s hop’en
By Christmas, Rudy’s heart’ll be homesick

Fair image of a garden
As retreat, heavenly.
Conceived in common with all
Of a homesick longing.
Cool, moist, snail-led; far off
Life's heats; ways, rage-hasty.
To whose peace, but felt of it
The soul, as belonging....

I'm homesick for places I have never been
Homesick for a being I have never had
I'm homesick for food I have never tasted
Homesick for moods I never have experienced 
Homesick for knowledge I never learnt. 
I'm homesick for my old self....

Beautiful baby Bella
Grew into a  greatly gifted girl.
She sang songs solely for soldiers,
Homesick for hugs from their honeys.
But Bella fell fast for a friendly fella,
So now she sings solos solely for him.

foreign shadows replace familiarity
stripped away due return
and the heart speaks with sincerity
its just the old familiar burn

some faces stay the same
new united through uncertainty
isnt the actuality quite lame
because i would most certainly

never return...

Deceitful are the minds
Of the bent and broken
The lonesome and blue
Deep in their disarray
Smothered with sorrow
Clouding the truth

For no sickness so potent
As that of the homesick
Who remain home
Or loneliness so profound
As that of one lonely
When not alone...

Homesick
My heart floats home with the crackling leaves
It flies away with the migrating ducks
It rattles along on an old lonesome train
My heart rises with the fog of a tranquil pond in a pasture
It settles in at the dinner table of my childhood home
Ready for a nice steak dinner with my family...

Sun drips away like butter
butterfly shadows melt across
a rocking chair porch
frosted lime, and smooth, summer shade bleed through,
permeate, settle in every weary bone
Jasmine and hibiscus embrace homesick nostrils
deeply
and scratchy blues records call out
it's all in the game, child
come on home...

Painted up with that color I love,
baited with a pair of blue shutters;
Fated to call this vacant dwelling,
sacred shelter with just four letters;

Replay of a riff from the back porch,
a taste of that song got me homesick;
Betray my gypsy heart for a dream?
‘Stay, this is home.’ the seductive lyric....

As I see him hug
And laugh with his
And I look at her
Sitting on the lap of hers
I missed mine
And I shed a tear 
knowing
That I am miles away
From her!

Time run
Run and run
For I want to hold her
In my arms
And laugh with her too.
I WANT TO GO HOME!!
Cos I miss my MUM!!!

I am homesick
Friends help me!!...

I am homesick for heaven
Loneliness is my companion
Looking forward to wedding
With my beautiful Savior...

My heart is really aching
Thirsty is my hurting soul
Even my body breaking
I just want to go home...

Tell me, precious Jesus
How long do I have to wait?
Until You come and get me
And we will celebrate......
