WELCOME HOME

IT WAS EARLY DAWN 
WHEN MY FLIGHT ARRIVED 
AFTER A LONG AND EXHAUSTING TRIP,
BUT MY MIND REMAINED FIXATED ON YOU.

THE WALL OF SEPARATION
WERE ABOUT TO FALL, 
UNITING OUR HEARTS, MINDS,
BODY AND SOULS 
IN A COCOON OF LOVE.

THE MORNING BREEZE CARESSING 
THE MULTICOLORED CURTAINS,
CAUSING THEM TO WAVE AT ME 
WITH A RHYTHMIC DANCE,
AS MY TIRED FEET GRACED 
THE STAIRS.

THE UNLOCKED DOOR SUGGESTS 
YOU WERE ANTICIPATING MY SHADOW,
FALLING FROM THE GLITTERING EYES
OF THE CHANDELIER 
HANGING IN THE LIVING ROOM.

SPRAWLED ACROSS THE BED
LACED WITH SATIN  SHEETS,
WERE YOUR HALF DRESSED BODY 
RECLINING IN THE ARMS 
OF YOUR LOVER.

THUS!
MY WELCOME HOME.

WILFORD BARKER.
