Unwonted Journey Poem by Paras Saxena

I admire how humbly you possess
The grand beauty that wraps everything of yours
I pray for you to see the exuberant sea
And love the woman in the mirror like I do
Wear your esoteric crown on your lips
That curve that illuminates my every bone
Makes me rewind time in my mind
To when your arms wrapped mine
When we ran while your finger intertwined with mine
And drops of blessings fell upon us as rain
Revealing to me the perfection of the imperfection of us
Was the unwonted journey, path of infinite joy!

As we slip away, I slide into woods
Of darkness in the laps of my demons
Lost in the truth of self scripted lies
Afraid of the stranger in the mirror with strange eyes
For he recites words not meant to be spoken
And writes words of vision so black and broken
So arcane and so abstruse
Zilch souls if not his muse
Shall receive and savvy what he conceived
In that poesy about his precious love he seized
I'm so consumed by his uncivil solitude
He spits at the grave of my gallant but extinct virtues

My yearning soul shall merge with none
Nor yours for it's the last and only breath I breathe
Today and every morrow at every morn
Only your love is the cure for me to be reborn
For which I'd die but he's shattered my soul
Fragments so small can't ever be made whole
I won't touch you for your happiness
As I'm the preacher of venomous nothingness
As waves carry, throw and toss me like a boat with no poy
In this unwonted journey, path of naught joy!
