Homecoming

by Maria   Apr 7, 2014


Baby, wipe away the tears
and keep yourself together,
these days will soon be over
and I'll get to hold you
in my arms for once more.
The sun will shine
as bright as he used to
and the hummingbirds
will sing in your ears
the perfect lullaby.
The house will no longer
be empty;
my presence will fill it
and your laugh
will bring it to life.
I know I've been away
for so long
that you've almost forgotten
my eye colour
but I am sure you still remember
how our first kiss tasted.
Baby, wipe away the tears
and keep yourself together
because these days will soon be over
and I will come back home
to you.

    Oh my goodness, this poem is so perfect. You have put amazing flow into this, and the wording is great. It's only downfall is the punctuation, you need to break it up so that the reader's can clearly see where to stop, and hold the smaller images in their mind.

    I adore the tone of the poem, so hopeful and confident that this love will be one day. I like the repetition also, it works really well.

    Little editing of the punctuation and it would be an amazing poem for anyone to read!

    Well done. Love the title choice too.
