the wind blows away
the autumn leaves
that crunch beneath my feet
and the rains
reduce them to refuse
lying in the detritus
at the end of the street
in the dark of the night
when the candles
burn to wax
on the window panes
I see your reflection
replace mine
a part of you
is fading
a part clings on
I gladly part
with what’s here to stay
and find life
in what’s long left
desires don’t tempt me
not anymore
I travel to a place
a place not home

That’s not home
May be beautiful than our home
But does it share ?

Does it hold on ?

May beautiful than our home
Still we love our home
