What is home? Create a poem or a short story about home. Bring me there. Make me feel at home or not.
proseprose in Poetry & Free Verse

In Your Arms

We had nothing.

No house.

No car.

We lost everything on our way here.

Spare clothes.

Food. 

Water.

Just bare necessities to get by.

We lost it all.

But despite that, I had one thing.

A feeling of security and safety.

An aegis.

The home you have created

in your arms.

Your arms, our blankets

on the cold nights.

Your arms, our arms

meeting in warm embrace.

Your arms, our strength.

Your arms, our confidence.

Your arms, our everything.
