    Take Me Home

    Just a little town near the Alabama line,
    Unchanged forever in my dreams,
    Smell the sunshine; feel the moon beams,
    As my heart goes to the time,
    Simple then,we were the burning fire
    Just a picture of sweet truth,
    Waving grass, beneath the star song choir,
    In the symbol of lost youth,

    Close your eyes and hear the wind blow through the trees,
    Feel the years just melt away, and become those memories.
    Rain on the roof of that old car, in the midnight summer sweet,
    Didn't think we could fall that far, autumn frost and winter heat.
    And I think of you that often and the peaceful love we made,
    The moment that the world was ours, cannot dream itself away.


    Take me home, take me back, I have never felt that right,
    The world passed quickly by us, suspended in that night,
    Take me home, take me back;free the child, melt the steel,
    In the wonder of the twilight,where you taught me how to feel.
    Take me home, take me back, where fading light still sees,
    never gone, love grew strong, the candle in the night for me.

    i feel you definitely have a poem here but that it needs tightening up or simplifying. the images are good and strong but its all a little loose. i think you gave way to a little laziness. i rewrite poems time and time again. expressions like moonbeams or sweet truth are kind of distracting if they aren't used sparingly and carefully. thanks for the poem tho. it has a southern feel. yes.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
