A home- Dilapidated


The house that was supposed to be,
Lies in cobwebs, I could never see.
A man of plenty experience wonders,
How could life become what it has come to be?

Pushed in here with love,
And expectations for a more mature me,
Naive people, unaware of the worldly ways,
Expected me to grow, as I learn to be.

Somebody should make sure,
A mausoleum is built here for me.
My well wishers thought it would be a cradle,
My grave here is what they will see.

And to anyone willing to consider my offer,
Reach out to me, I will pay a handsome fee.

Shadows

All that remains of people,
Over time, are shadows.

And shadows are welcome company,
In lives that choose solitude.

The journey that is life,
Goes on with shadows.

Shadows don't disappoint,
And they lack intelligence.

Their experiences are real, 
If you learn to acknowledge them.

Everyone's art of living is unique,
It's living that actually matters.
