Don’t Call Me Home

For there wait the winds of my past to
Engulf me yet again to relive
Stories that left me bruised 
Deep within where
Even the rays of healing fade

For there lies the fragrance of 
The oil of the lamp that burned 
When in harmony, my dreams burned along
Moment after moment for
A myriad sleepless nights 

For there stay conversations that
Have floated over the pyres of 
Abandoned promises of monumental loves that 
Once added life to life 
Only to have created a mirage of nothingness

For there haunt the 
Dark and deserted shadows of 
Who I used to be who 
I wish I could go back to being who 
I must though never become

...don’t call me home
