Homely Moments
By Jay Catalyst
Every moment isn’t the same.
Every moment’s a gift—
a prayer to let it stay.
Nothing has felt the same
since you came my way.
I feel like an architect,
building a place for you to lay,
nestled in my heart—
where you’ve stayed.
No moment mirrors the last.
You’ve changed me.
You’ve saved me.
I love the way you hold space
for the broken pieces I carry.
You’ve been through hell
and still choose love.
You must be an angel
sent from above.
I love how your hands
find my face,
re-centering me,
holding me down—
almost as good
as when you say my name.
And that smile—
that smile is what makes me wild.
It’s the part of you
that unravels me,
until the real me crumbles
to the power of you.
No one compares.
I know, deep in my soul,
where I would go
if I ever lost myself again.
