JOURNAL #34 notions of truth
a near spiritual frenzy
energies collide
and remain
Never the same
a potent potable
indeed
the masked second gun man
you might say
a grim fairy tale
confiscated
by a mind
badgered
again and again
into telling
an un-tell-able tale
once
of how? who? and when?
for an audience
that refuses to believe
think it can't happen to you
'Fraid so!
so think again..............................

Well, doesn't this prove what I tell you when we meet and chat online or on the phone...that you are INDEED TEN STEPS (AT LEAST) ahead of me?
This poem says so much and in such a neat and subtle way and this is what poetry is...to make the reader read it not just once, but again and again, and relish, enjoy and be exalted as high as one can, in the entirety of what you intend to convey...
Beautifully written and I take off my hats saying Melissa...you are a born poetess...MashaAllah...and don't you ever be affected by doubts or be serious with people who just cannot understand you ...the real you...which you keep hidden...yet, yes, there are some silly men around, for instance me, who do see through your facade of veils and are able to unmask you and marvel at the reality of what God has made you deep deep inside...to the very core.
MashaAllah once again. -- Muhammad Naveed Ahmed/Emmenay
