Again (A Sense of Home)

Poetry came up in shout tonight, here is the poem that I had published in a compilation. I'm kinda proud of it. The cadence in each verse (5, 7, 2, 2, 4, 2 syllables) and the 3 lines of alliteration in each verse is what makes it good, in my opinion. Plus the use of the word "again", in a different place in each verse.

Here I find myself
Again with strong sensations
Of home
Of hope
Of loneliness
And loss

You possess my thoughts
As I sleepless once again
Reflect
Recall
Revel in your
Sweet charms

Through deserted streets
I again imagine you
Walk on
With me
Wanting only
To dream

Somewhere else again
We'll together learn how we
Define
Deserve
Deliverance
To Home
