Enigmatic

A Colossal despair hits

scheming and plotting

age catches up to me

My muse is my past

while future falls flat

I shout at rooftops

Shout of my gloom

Till I am husky and hoarse

But that is all in my mind.

shut deep within

no one is privy to my misery

It is my own anguish

taken with me to the grave

No transference availed.

Prompt words from

I can't forget to remember

While days go on,

with things to keep engaged.

Amidst it all, comes one

that time can't assuage

The guilt of moving on 

A day no longer condoled,

All that gnaws at the heart

while a brave face is donned.

Conversations don't feature

her as much these days

But a picture remains

to remind us of her ways

Gone too early, too little time

Quests, many left to conquer.

Though a full life she did lead,

to that everyone will concur.

A small gesture I create

A token verse of respect

But, nothing is ever enough

while tears flow unchecked.

Resettle

These four walls resonate

a lifetime of tales..

while we have been au fait

of late, there are fails.

A decade of staying put

Adding touches to make it home,

Now it is time to set afoot

for a change in dwelling, comb.

All the memories of the past

Those moments, to history, are lost

Future, but awaits to be recast

The rut in dreariness is a cost.

But, none shall come close

to this wonderful space we own

unless we find one appose

The comfort can't be cloned.
