Home is Beyond the Horizon.
I'm leaving Home
tomorrow when
the sun rises.
I'm telling you
this now,
because
I know
how much
you hate
suprises.
Ten years
together and
all that
that entails,
Sometimes
I swear,
It was like
walking
on nails.
Everybody
says it hurts
whenever
love fails.
They cry
and wonder
why they didn't
compromise.
Though
I'm sad
My Darling,
to have
to say
good-bye,
you don't
have to
wonder why,
and don't think
I gonna cry...
I'm ready
to fly,
fly, far
away
from Home.
I'm so tired
of getting
high with you;
Entirely
Tramatized
by the
coming down.
They say that
Home is where
the heart is;
but my heart
can't bleed
for you.
Home is where
the hurt
hangs out-
tell me what
it means to you.
I'm broken,
I'm choaking-
So burned out,
of being brought
down by the
weight of your
wicked ways.
Living in a haze,
No sense of
time or space;
Losing out
on precious
days.
I'm leaving
Home tomorrow,
I have dreams
I need to follow-
You're gonna
have to swallow
it down
hard;
See me to
my car,
and let go-
Please let go
of my love.
Tomorrow,
As the sun rises,
There will be no
compromises;
Home, for me,
will be
somewhere
beyond the Horizon.

Poetry: Home
by Jim Jordan
Happy
outside the old farmhouse
a white glow behind me.
Summer winds pat my forehead cool,
winds whose higher cousins cause
When I feel the east breeze caress my hair
watch the red sun sink quietly low
smell the soft flower of spring in the air
Being called home
I lay in this bed, so much going through my head.
I see my loved ones who have gone before me, I must choose
Home is Beyond the Horizon.
I'm leaving Home
tomorrow when
the sun rises.
I'm telling you
this now,
because
I know
how much
A dusty road gives lessons of perspective
Vanishing in the distance to a point
A lazy propeller makes a droning buzz
A grumble
