Home - A Particularly Complex Concept
The word home can have different meanings for different people: there are those who say that it is wherever you feel good and welcomed, wherever you leave your heart.
In the other hand, there are others that argue that home is a unique place where you have family which makes someone feel great- a SINGLE place; well, despite I agree with both opinions, for me, home is where you reunite with all people you care about and love, doesn’t matter if it is on a physical place (house) or not. Now house “enters” in the discussion. House and Home are not necessarily the same thing, because there can be a home with no house (home-sentimental, psychological/house-physical).
Home is like it has been seen, a little complex and relative item to describe. For me, is a concept that includes safety, warmness, happiness, and relationships. At home someone can be and feel safe and that, an example: when second world war American sailors were coming back, sometimes, there were on the docks, some giant posters with the phrase- “Welcome Home”, this gives for sure “strength” to what I’ve said previously.
In Wikipedia, it is said that home is a place where a person or family lives, perhaps spends much of their time, or where a person is comfortable being. While a house(or other residential dwelling) is often referred to as a home, the concept of "home" is broader than a physical dwelling. Home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade and the things and people that one loves becomes the focus. Many people think of home in terms of where they grew up, or a time rather than a place.
The word "home" is also used for various residential institutions which aspire to create a home-like atmosphere, such as a retirement home, a nursing home , a 'group home' (an orphanage for children or a retirement home for adults), a foster home.
Finishing, I can say that home is simply the place where someone feels familiarized with it and where is with all those he/she most want and feels happy

On the Road
What a beautiful rainbow and sky
What a beautiful place and countryside
The green surpasses all…
And the sun shines hot (it doesn´t lie)
I´m on the road, watching all of that
The curiosity get´s bigger; yes
I know I´ll see a lot more of beauties
Like that one
Enjoying and having fun
No time for rushes or moral cold
While I´m on the road
Watching and admiring
The best that nature has to give
Without that we couldn’t possibly
Live… as well as we do
Smiling and listening to
The silence too
Looking at that gorgeous environment
Gives peace and it remembers
The best moments I had
After a long time I remember at last
No boredom… anymore
Because I´m enjoying my experience
On the road
The poem above reflects the sensations of being far away, on a tour by beautiful exotic places where I can just dream about.

Home
The vision of that great picture
Makes me wondering
About the feeling's mixture
And the house loving
Beautiful home…
That I may call my own
A safe place to be
Also an escape to me
From the rest of the shadows
It gives me strength and power
Beautiful blue house
Combined with a gorgeous blue
Makes me wondering
About the feeling's mixture
And the house loving
Beautiful home…
That I may call my own
A safe place to be
Also an escape to me
From the rest of the shadows
It gives me strength and power
Beautiful blue house
Combined with a gorgeous blue
Sky
Shows the concept of home
Put all my hopes on it I might
The balance, the sense of belonging
Grows…
All that present on a quiet place
Making the hearts… shaking
I’d love to have a home like that one
To feel secure, emotionally warm and
Have fun
Desired by everyone… the home
Links the brotherhood ties
It is wherever we leave someone that
Misses us with no lies
The image surrounds the souls… of
Whoever wants to.
A big complex concept…
Simply a home
The poem reflects the idea of home and the sense of belonging to something and feeling safe. Wherever someone is, the important is where you feel fulfilled physically, emotionally or psychologically surrounded by those you care about. HOME.
For me basically, is that.

Whatever
Whatever is luck, kindness or destiny
Having the opportunity of being what
You always wanted to be
A magician or just a person that wants
To free… everyone
A father, a mother or a son
Whatever it happens, whatever i/you
Want, continue loving and keeping
The hope on a shinning golden sun…
Or in something beautiful that the
Superior being has done
Having the opportunity of being what
You always wanted to be
A magician or just a person that wants
To free… everyone
A father, a mother or a son
Whatever it happens, whatever i/you
Want, continue loving and keeping

Laughs of a Broken Heart
Laughs of a broken heart
It seems unreal and hard…
To believe…
And to broke apart in pieces
To analyze the difficult phenomenon
And hold on… during the life march…
Laughs of a broken heart…
Are dry and subsistent…
(To me) a true lie with intent
Those laughs result from unimaginable
Pain…
And unbelievable fate
Pain (descripted on Everytime poem)
A lot? Of course!!
Laughs of a broken heart
Happens because there are no more tears…
Gone away… and the fears… continue
It cannot cry no more… so it laughs
From despair… and no one cares…
It´s hard
Laughs of a broken heart;
Stabbed with the sword of indifference
Taking all the now cursed innocence
To very far…away
Laughs of a broken heart I can say
We can see it
We can see it on the sea
Touch it on our mind like
It could be
Don´t know if it is he or she
And what does it lead
We can see it in the sky
In the forests
Hard to define…
Yes it is
On the streets, in the neighborhoods
On our hearts, in the beaches
Flying… passing through us
Maybe in the bus
We can see it on spirits, souls
On our beings it rolls…
It is the Unknown:
Present in all things… the unknown
No one can escape it, no one.
It seems unreal and hard…
To believe…
And to broke apart in pieces
To analyze the difficult phenomenon
And hold on… during the life march…

Poems
Hi guys, here are some poems:
The Person Inside of You and Me
The person inside of you and me
Can cause disaster or envy…
maybe a master or just free
the person inside of you and me
Can teach us how to live well
And find a way to improve ourselves,
May increase our hidden power
And make us supermans
But as I said it can be disastrous
Stop us from doing what we must
Possibly disappear and destroy us
In my case it´s a way…
to escape… from the solitude…
Sometimes happy, sometimes rude…
That person can cause good or evil
It can be cool…or even…
It´s up to us to control it
In order to become a better reasonable being
What I Want
What I want is justice; freedom for all
Strength to get up in case we fall
A society of respect and fellowship
In order to support the adversities
And the time trip
What I want is hope and clear realism
To beat joke and wrongful criticism
Brotherhood between all human beings;
the end of prejudices and lunatic fake dreams
What I want is not what some others want
Because if they wanted what I want
They would fight for those goals
And wouldn´t care about the unfaithful among the fools

Ace's Short Story Suggestion
The Spirit of Emulation
This short story is quite humorous. I've choosen it mainly because it starts like a normal day-to-day life, and then looses control, flying over the borders of common sence. It's about a relationship between the residents of an unusual building and their quite exotic pets...
I think it's nice to have some humour in our lives once in a while to open a smile on each and everyone of us...

Hope you like it! ^_^

Taking a Bullet for a Friend
Taking a Bullet for a Friend
George Bush is mean because
He's so evil it's a cause
..
Read your karma deep inside
Practice yoga overtime
..
Take your pills and relax my brother
Don't sleep over the lives of others
..
Follow your dreams and reach for the sky
Spread the wings of destiny and fly sky high
..
Your life is what you make of it
Don't let death take care of it
..
Grasp peace and hold it inside
Fighting oppression overtime...
André Carvalho
There's a message somewhere in between
Hope you guys liked it :3

Another poem.. =P
Another "bad" poem made by me... ;)
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
When I have grand-children I shall protect them
When my husband's death comes I shall wait for mine...
If someone dies, I shall not wear black!
If I get sick, I shall not give up!
If I get old, I shall not regret! Just smile to it! =)
