After struggling from writer's block, I was inspired this week to take a poetry route. Hope you enjoy this poem inspired by the movie "Up":
Heart With A Home:
I built a home in your heart with white windows and wooden floors that would break when we ran around and laughed for hours in the night time.
I built a home in your heart with my very own hands that intertwined in yours when we sat on the porch to watch the moon paint the sky with boundless constellations.
I built a home in your heart with a garden outside where I planted a tree hoping gradually it would grown even through the fights we would have when you would come home late and always leave the table lights on.
I built a home in your heart with hope that one day our children would play together in the backyard where I could sit underneath the tree that grew with each moment we argued saying words we didn't mean.
I built a home in your heart that fought through the hours of the days when you would disappear from me and my wandering mind praying you would return soon.
I built a home in your heart held by beams that slowly began to grow old as years passed and I began to push you around the house while you held my wrinkled hands.
I built a home in your heart where the tables and chairs grew dusty with faint memories of the days when we were young and free from all of the problems of the world when there was hope for our souls to flourish and grow.
I built a home in your heart that stopped suddenly on the day when the sky filled with gloomy grays and the clouds began to cry with me as I stood outside the house I had called my own without a heart to call a home.
