A Place Like Home (POEM by SCREECH)

as I said...two poems :D
this one was written back in April (soon after I wrote Hunt for My Life) but I wasn't able to finish it as well as I wanted to.. finally I did and here it is!!

Place Like Home

I've traveled across the seas,

And seen the world for what it holds,

But all I ever wanted,

Was right here at home.

Blinded by the glory,

I roamed the lands a hero,

But all the love I needed,

Was right here at home.

I thousand places, I did scorn,

And return once more, To where I was born.

Around the world,

I searched for a calling in Rome,

But the voice that I needed,

Was right here at home.

All across the world,

Are my statues built of chrome,

But all the sculptures I wanted,

Were right here at home.

Searching for love, I tried to see,

Too immersed to find, what was in front of me.

Everywhere I went,

I saw my name carved in stone,

But all the memories I had,

Were right here at home.

I walked in the heat,

And in the blistering cold,

But the clouds that I searched for,

Rained right here at home.

I travel these roads, I had once known,

These beautiful places, that I've outgrown.

I have roamed in cities,

To ensure recollection of my name,

But all the requiems I wanted,

Were right here at home.

I've slept in the green grass,

And beds made of gold,

But the dreams that I wanted,

Were right here at home.

I now lay myself to sleep, in my own abode,

 With dreams and memories both, reminding me of what I own.

so that's it...I was actually working on the last three stanzas and I figured it out recently :D

hope you enjoyed this one!

Christmas missile is next! Keep a lookout!!
