Longing for a family Portrait

by Ole Carsten   Jun 28, 2013


In my mind there are memories,
Filling me with gladness,
Mixed with a grain of sadness,
Grandmother face is coming up,
I am missing her smile on our day.

In my brain there a secrets rooms,
Well sealed for my safety,
Making sure I don't miss too much,
We are our own guardians,
I know I wish of a shoulder to lean on.

I am missing the slight rain,
Feeling your warm body beside,
I am use to be protected by you,
A screen of security around me,
While I listen to a new language.

I am longing for a pillow of charm,
A velvet cousin spreading underneath,
My tired body is longing to be hold,
I am dreaming a vivid dream,
I am seeing you in front of me dressed for me.

Please take away my skeletons,
Erase for me my images from an unsecure past,
Fill me with warmth and beauty,
Embrace me as the man I am,
Comfort me a kid I once was.
