Longing dearly for her caress
Her soft touch along my chest
fingers entwined like they were one.
I miss her.
Wishing for this time to pass
Yearning for her here at last
So I am there to keep her safe
I'm heading home.
Planning for that moment when,
It's just the two of us,
alone again.
A soft whisper in her ear,
telling her things she longs to hear
I need her.
Wishing for this time to pass
Yearning for her here at last
So I am there to keep her safe
I 'm heading home.
Hurriedly knocking on the door
Bags beside my feet on the floor
A key
jangles in the lock,
I take a moment.
Stop!
I SEE HER
Finally
taking that strong embrace
Her eyes shine like stars in space
Her cheeks are cold, yet her lips are warm
I kiss her.
I would never wish this time to pass
Yet back on duty I'm needed fast
Until the next time I journey home
**I love her.
Her soft touch along my chest
fingers entwined like they were one.
I miss her.
Wishing for this time to pass
Yearning for her here at last
So I am there to keep her safe
I'm heading home.
Planning for that moment when,
It's just the two of us,

A soft whisper in her ear,
telling her things she longs to hear

So I am there to keep her safe
I 'm heading home.
Hurriedly knocking on the door
Bags beside my feet on the floor
A key
jangles in the lock,
I take a moment.
Stop!
I SEE HER
Finally
taking that strong embrace
Her eyes shine like stars in space
Her cheeks are cold, yet her lips are warm
I kiss her.
I would never wish this time to pass
Yet back on duty I'm needed fast
Until the next time I journey home
**I love her.
Poem by Josh Morter ©
New poem: It dawned on me whilst watching a film recently that I couldn't imagine what it must be like on that journey home from war to a loved one. I tried to think how I would feel, so decided to write about it. Unsure this encapsulates such a powerful feeling fully. It's my attempt. Appreciate feedback and criticism.
