My Heart

This is a poem that I wrote while thinking of home

How do I make people see how I love you
Make them see how I live for you
Let them know the passion that lives in your very soul
How when the street lights come on you come alive
Others look and say that you are no good for me
But your love for me is the only thing that I see
Knowing your embrace and loving every moment of it
Sometimes you are as cold as a Winter’s night
And at times hot as hell on a mid Summer’s day
Flaunting your independence for all to see
Saving your softer side for the likes of me
Always growing and on the move
I’m in awe of your undying love and knowledge for sports
And yet your quiet compassion for the arts
As we walk together always knowing that you have my heart
Hearing your voice going throughout the air
While the tones of a saxophone blare
Even if our destinies don’t keep us together and I travel the world
We will never a world apart
I declare will all that I am
Philadelphia you have my heart
