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
