When the guests arrive home
Home,
Lavender haven rebutted with unfamiliar smiles
Welcoming arms, an embrace of a hard turned soft comfort
A dozen laughing hazel eyes, steering through dewy mornings
Clarified cherry lattes, pacified jasmine candles beneath wrists of steady pulses
Paired hearts devoid of thornless roses, pulsating warm blue converse
Home, Home,
How sweet home
Home, Home,
Bitter home
Liminal space, celestial beings turned demons
Prickly chuckles, laces of written sentiment
Fresh new scars, these weedy nerves trapped-in (parentheses)
Rented oxygen, part-time human
Pain turned teary carthasis,
Lilacs of sorrow, a bouquet of scarred lilies tomorrow
Home,
After the guests go home
