As the stresses of the day wear on, My furrowed brow tucked firmly in pensive thought, My back torn open from the malicious whips of jealous competition Lips pursed tight, chest groaning with slivers of painful angst Mind racing foul I carry my heavy load yoked firmly home I walk through that familiar door bright eyes burning with warm welcome seer through me my furrows are swept away tension easing, I unfurl as you rise to greet me, Warm smiles contagiously leap on to my gaunt expression tender lips move so gently over my mine softening every hash word passed through them, My chest unclenches releasing butterflies from thier paranoid chains Warm arms brush away the stings of the days warfare Relief washes through me My armour falls away As my soul tucks tightly into you A whisper from my heart releases 'I'm home'.
