My Home

You are my home.
I am comforted by your presence next to mine,
to feel your fingertips,
cures a hunger I always had to hide.
When I am bad, you are my space in place
my lover, my friend, my love knows no end
to this race.

             
When we slumber into the silken night,
your very life I take into me,
your love leaves no pain nor
confinement, just a feeling of free
as you are my home,
a place I always wanted to be.

Hey Dina

Enjoyed this, can I make a suggestion or two, in the second stanza I was wondering, can we lose a couple of words? When we slumber into silken night your very life I take into me, your love leaves no pain no confinement just a feeling of free, you are my home a place I always wanted to be. I think it rolls along a little more freely? perhaps? Cheers Craig
