Porch Light

I am a rambling man darling.
Kickin round always gone
at time hard telling if its dusk or dawn.
But I still left that porch light on.
Look in the distance, it will be
the yellow beacon of light overcoming the dark.
Sitting above the lonesome porch swing
it will be beaming while the stars glitter up high.
If you are ever around watch for that glow.
I’m hoping by now you already know
that this is “home” to you.
A house sits heavy with nobody around.
No touch of a woman, no voice no sound.
Your laughter ringing through these ghostly halls
and the sweet smell of jasmine lingering in lonely rooms.
Is just what it needs.
Darlin the Porch Light is on and the swing is lonely.

I loved this! A very simply romantic work seasoned with a twang of what feels like home to me. I am not sure if you are from the south, but there is indeed a southern feel to this. Which is completely romantic to a southerner like me. I imagine a long wooden front porch (possibly screened in) and a bright yellow porch light. I imagine you holding a glass of southern iced tea listening to music and staring out across the dark front yard shadowed by a few enormous hard wood trees. I also imagine you looking with anxiety with every noise that sounds like footsteps. Footsteps to join you on the porch.
And with the heart of this poem and what you the poet express I imagine you will be swinging beside her before the night is done.
BRAVO!

Ohhhhhhh, I did not help much at all with this.
You rolled with it and look at this perfect poem.
I love it. It makes me smile and cry at once to a point my friend. I would love to sit on the swing, except you most likely would not be there lol . Life on the road ey?
I adore this and you!
Huggers and kiss
