Rohan Antony Poet Rhyme

Lost Paths

Sometimes you have
to lose yourself in
order to find
yourself. 

Lost Paths

 
I know this place,
yet i feel so lost,
I know these people,
but they're
strangers.
There's plenty of
life, but its
drought,
Everything's fine,
but feel danger. 

The air smells so
sweet, but tastes so
bitter;
Its clean here, but
full of litter.
 I see fine, i feel
blind
I'm looking for
something, but what
do i find?

How long have i been
here? 
Lost in this deep
puddle of fear
fear that follows,
stays close near
i must get away from
its gaze so leer

This abyss of
darkness has opened
my eyes
I must leave here
before i get
consumed by these
lies. 

Finally i am able to
introspect
contemplate what it
is i seek
this world is too
perfect, it's
imperfect
Tis its perfection
that makes it bleak.

I have been engulfed
by the flames of
inferno
Entrapped, in the
fallen angel's bosom
I must isolate
myself from this
infinite chasm
Rather i be a loner
than a mourner.

I know this place,
yet i feel so lost
I must take whats
mine and leave fast.
 
I run, run to lose
myself, run with my
only possession, my
heart,
i run to find my
self, find a new
place, a new start.

Kelly Deschler July 22, 2014 at 5:38 PM There are many different paths on this road called "life", but often when we become lost, we end up finding exactly what we were looking for. Sometimes, that journey has to be taken inside ourselves and not on the outside!.... I really liked this poem a lot! It's very expressive, introspective, and deep. Amazing work, Rohan!
