Unreasoned Vulnerability


Unreasoned Vulnerability

by NEMA SAEED

But the sun was falling away
leaving a two-faced moon
and a sign to unreason
-perhaps you-

I pursued a weary light,
uneased by ambiguous dreams
provoking a pensive mind
but a hollow heart

Your being echoed in me;
A schizophrenic look in your eyes
tantalizing with salvation,
yet a moment longer it fades
like a mirage…

I ran in hopes of redemption
walked enticed by your beauty-clad abyss.

Vulnerable before you..

And once again we intertwined:
You; a schizophrenic
Me; a chameleon
and our dreams are fickle
