Loyalty

I set off running from myself,
Commenced a journey along rivers.
The riverbanks seem not depressed
In contrast to my sombre feelings.

I’m wondering why this is me,
Doing for you just good deeds here,
No longer knows how to be free,
Because of being chained by catena.

I owe you many-many thanks,
My mentor, dear influencer,
Your wisdom is a priceless gift...
Your gift to me, my chiromancer.

You treasure me — I worship you.
I know I can lean on your shoulder.
But haters make a trap to blur
Your mind saying I am a bounder.

I won’t betray. I won’t leave you
As long as you tell me to do it.
Devotion means a special deal,
Your guidance taken just to prove it.

So many sinuous tricky things —
Mind-confusing, feelings-touching...
I won’t divulge your secret tips,
I’m by your side, being scratched and scratching.

My body — covered with unseen
And burning scars from being assaulted.
No pain, no gain! I’ll set me free.
I’ll rise anew to gulp what’s hurting!
