In the midst of dark forests, I knew
I would discover the elusive way to you.
As I walked along the lanes of blues
I despaired and the fear grew
But to have you was the thing that drew
Me, on the rocky path to you.
Uneasiness crept over me
And the voices surrounding me were cacophonies
Yet I had to continue
On the way leading to you.
Fear descended over and consumed me in bits
But it could not gallop my stubborn spirits.
To stop and run away was the last thing on my head
I took a journey so long not to escape.
The audacity that laid dormant
Beneath my coward skin was evoked
By my subconscious
To push me ahead in my battle.
I wasn’t ready to give up and screw
The struggle that infused in me the pain which was new.
Nevertheless, I kept trudging along howling
Like a beast that I have never seen before in my vicinity.
The long, strenuous war came to an end
Sweat and blood and tiring efforts were my magical wand
To attain you, my dear success
To be blessed with your largesse.
I didn’t shake or took the rest
Nor I let myself succumb to the unrest.
Because apparently, beforehand, I knew
The way would not be easy, leading to you!
