we were asked at the #dverse poets pub tonight to imagine being outside looking into a house of our choice. To start with I felt a bit like a stalker. but then wondered what i would see if i witnessed, well i will lett the poem do the showing.

WHERE!

Where do I enter this house of love?

          I feel the love coming from this place,

                    Mixed love and pain why?

                              I knew this house with no door knob!

I feel the love coming from this place,

          Love and peace for all emanates,

                    From these very walls.

                              I once knew.

Mixed love and pain why?

          Heartache and loss, hurt and grief,

                    I knew those in grief and loss.

                              Love and peace I project.

I knew this house with no door knob,

          It was once my home full of love,

                    Now I watch as my family say goodbye,

                              To me myself and I.
