waiting for you

waiting

withdrawn from the world
alone for a long quest
inhibited and furled
thriving on my own zest
inundated as solitude hurled
never felt such unrest
geared for a life whirled
fear thumping neath chest
optimistic yet curled
rational, yet with unrest
yearning for love swirled
one day it will attest
until then, my world…

journey

a journey new and exciting
embarked upon by a fool
soaking in the pains
reveling the pleasures

the road found him
eager for the destination
and slowed it down
for introspection is imperative

thriving on the arduous walk
the fool became the learned
realized destiny and destination
are constructs of imagination

for the journey is what matters
to learn what’s important
life is memories,  disjoint
no start, no endpoint

there was a boy i knew
confused and complicated
yet sorted and straight
scarily confident
and confidently scared
the world was his
and he was of the world
together and alone
all at once
a while ago i found him
lost in his thoughts
attentively oblivious
humming silence
perhaps, torn apart
by the reality of the world
stitched together
by the very few on top
i can’t find him anymore
he might be openly hidden
or feathered underneath
ironclad burden called life
living a truthful lie
