Apoorva Jha Poet Lyric

The Patio

On the patio, I saw a vision,
it was of a black dog.
Swimming in the ocean
I got caught in the motion,
flowing, flowing, flowing away. 
The avens weren't as lively
as I remembered on my patio. 
Sick to the stomach,
I fought the worms in the can
that I closed. 
Mumbling and hesitating,
I was on the patio of my life.
Eyes flashed close when 
I saw my home.  
It was a sombre lie of
happiness.
But Blackie got running,
he wasn't coming in anymore.
Life is a whole lot flare,
and my wooden house is 
a cabin of despair. 
Maybe this patio was good once,
but now all left is 'now'.
But all that matters is 'now'.
And all that I built
is just a broken house.
