return home

By Daisy Dai

in the wee hours when night blends into day
all thoughts drift to the sweet kiss
of a lover who is too far away
my darling please don’t fret
because I’m yours to
keep

I have not forgotten about you

your love is sweetly creeping in the crevices of my mind
my love I seem to be torn like a sheet of paper between
my love for you and my love for the world beyond

so forgive me if I stray to explore
the world unknown
because I vow to
always return
home
