Onus

This is a conversation with my Sonu,
And things I need to say-
To re-strengthen certain unsaid vows-
And re-affirm our faith.
Love supreme,
Does rule all five senses,
But where we stand today,
Is a path-
To deeper woods-
Maybe a way through all
Malice and Wanderland-
To a certain Tomorrow Land.
It's difficult to trod over,
The thorns in search of a throne-
But together,
Nothing seems impossible to conquer.
By you,
I stand strong-
Let you be tall for me too.
Let your hands,
That I know so well-
Guide both of us through.
What I am in your eyes,
Is a matter of utmost concern-
The magic never fails to startle me-
As also the force to change to the silent urge,
Of being your image.
But not a mirage-
I disagree,
My identity now,
Maybe capped by you-
And willingly shall I submit to the hold.
Yet, firm I must stand,
In my own conviction of my own claim.
I look into your eyes-
Lovingly caressing the velvet depth-
I see eons stretched-
Writ as our holy grail.
I see the frames that silence engulfs,
As maybe you struggle with words,
You have to express.
As you should,
For I must hear you out too-
As it's my lifeline to live.
Your halo sheathes me-
I bask in it's glow-
Do you feel my warmth too,Sonu,
As our shadows cross unseen?
I kiss your hands,
In the dark-
Feeling the quiet strength reside
In the veins.
Trace patterns across the face
Much loved-
Yes, I must hear you out loud
And in full.
In our search for peace,
Questions war against solitude-
Not as daggers that draw blood,
But alchemic stones,
That enhance our golden sheen.
You shimmer as you stand strong,
Never let the shine dampen-
For me too,
As I stare in awe at your magnitude,
Of being and seeing.
I promise silently,
Unto myself as I pray for your happiness-
To always reach out to your core,
And soothe storms
As I stretch against limits,
To know and feel you better.
Understand you more,
And be closer than before.
Love the mind that lies behind,
The sharp eyes that miss nothing.
No matter the pain points
Or complaints-
They're minor after all-
The wholesome feeling that you bring to me-
By being you,
Is irreplaceable a crescendo!
I love the nurturer in you,
Reap along with you,
The seeds of wonder.
Yes, our love may raise eyebrows-
But we shall fight out the odds of it too-
As long unity lies in concurrence-
For I cannot not,
Give you all that you desire.
In you, I find my completion,
Unknowingly, I had stumbled upon my soulmate-
And now, it's too late to retrace the precious steps,
To reclaim a weary living of a facade-
Or perhaps a dumb charade.
