The bachelor's pad, a kingdom small,
Where socks like tumbleweeds may sprawl.
A single mug, a coffee stain,
A throne of pillows, sheets untamed.
Sunlight streams through dusty blinds,
On shelves where takeout gently binds.
Empty pizza boxes, warriors bold,
Tales of takeout nights untold.
A lone guitar leans by the door,
Beckons fingers, one chord more.
Melodies of freedom rise,
No curfew calls, no judging eyes.
The fridge, a cavern, cold and deep,
Holds mysteries for those who sleep.
Leftovers congealed, a cryptic dish,
A dare, a test, a hunger's wish.
The bathroom, steam after a shower,
Towels askew, a temporary power.
Razor stubble graces chins so bare,
A badge of honor, a wild man's lair.
The nights unfold, a canvas vast,
With friends who gather, bonds that last.
Board games crackle, laughter rings,
Inside jokes fly on laughter's wings.
Movies stream, a flickering light,
Heroes fight for what is right.
No bedtime tales, no lullabies,
Just endless possibilities.
The morning dawns, a peaceful hush,
The silence broken by a coffee rush.
The newspaper, a world in print,
A single life, a self-built tint.
But freedom's song, it has a cost,
A quiet ache when love is lost.
Empty chairs at candlelit cafes,
A longing glance through rainy days.
The bachelor's path, a winding road,
With independence as its load.
A feast or famine, self-reliant soul,
Learning lessons, making life whole.
For in the quiet moments, late at night,
He ponders dreams beneath the light.
Of love, perhaps, a family's embrace,
A different kingdom, a different space.
But still he chooses, day by day,
To forge his path, his own way.
The bachelor's life, a choice to make,
For freedom's song, a heart to take.
