From the moment I heard about your myth,
I searched for the legend of your soft lips.
I wandered like a bewildered wordsmith,
confused if such elegance did exist.
I became a pilgrim of devotion,
roaming paths to oceans for just one glimpse.
Struggling to express this rare emotion,
I kept hope you would end my unloved jinx.
Upon a balcony facing the shore,
I saw a celestial sight of patience.
Before I could find the way to your door,
I became lost in a maze of silence.
Timid tongue was stubborn with resistance,
as you disappeared into the distance.
bewildered wordsmith
express this rare emotion
end my unloved jinx
a celestial sight of patience - legend of your soft lips did exist
