you are home;
gazing into your sparkling eyes
is like watching the stars
in the night sky
through an open window.

you are home;
consuming the glorious heat
that radiates from your body,
when i'm close to you,
is like snuggling near to
a cosy fire.

you are home;
enclosed in your arms,
you keep me away from harm
and i can settle down
into a dreamy slumber,
for you are my
beloved sleeping quarters.

you are home;
i do not need to be surrounded
by nourishment in a kitchen,
when the only hunger i have
is for a thrill,
and you provide me with this.

you are home;
i do not care for a bath
or shower when you
are the one that
keeps my soul clean,
far from danger
and close to love.

and who needs a mirror in
a bedroom,
when you are the voice
that overpowers the
negative thoughts in my
mind, by telling me i'm
beautiful?

there is nothing else i could
ever desire,
since you are all i need
and all i want;
you are home and there is no
place i would rather live.
