Coming home!

By Aladdin Qatawneh

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I left my heart back in my old town And since then tears and I were twin I left my smile back in my old town And since then gloom and sorrow within I left my rose back in her hand And since then colors of joy not found I left my divine moments back in Amman And since then no rest and peace within O! It is about time! For this knight to return home And it is about time! For this sailor to have rest and peace at home. Written December 1st, 2001 © on Nov 30 2001 05:13 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
