E'en now I see myself, returning long from home

With the heavy weights of care worn thick across my brow.

Alone no longer — I will belong — with need naught to roam;

And eternal I will stay there, my soul and self I'll vow

There shall I find comfort — a hearth's warm embrace,

And tenderly greet solace, whence habit plainly lies.

Worries there escape me; lost in vacant space,

For simple is the longing that from my marrow cries.

Here I see it clearly, returning long from home

The marks of age creased — lovingly tattered and worn.

And I will lose myself, as if in monochrome,

For life cannot go on, when wishing turns forlorn.

^{I'm returning home for the holidays and I think it's safe to say I'm eagerly awaiting the day!

I feel so lucky to be a part of the seniormentors project, where I'm working on improving my poetry. I've learned so much already (and my mentor is fantastic), and hope to continue posting work to show my progress! I encourage anyone who'd like to work on their art to go check out the group.

FUNDAMENTAL FORCES OF GRAVITYWe are just two stars
among infinite galaxies wide
  (not ordinary - celestial, maybe.)
and I will follow you wherever you roam.
The brain and the heart, together tied.
And, when I see the liquid moonlight
glistening in your cold eyes,
  (so distant and yet so familiar)
I cannot help but believe that
your talk of antipathy is lies.
But, however, time does render fools
for it is only the disillusioned
  (or, perhaps, the naïve)
who refuse to exist
in a state of perpetual attachment.
And, now I see without a doubt
that gravity is flawed.
  (a revelation, though too late)
There's some absolute absurdity
in fundamental attraction.

Very deep and dramatic, I agree on what the others said.
