Poetry: The Man’s Flare

Graphic Nadine Abdellatif

    The man was standing there—

    looked like he stepped out of a nightmare— 

    Recalled the memory of a flare

    That never reflected as a mirror 

    (Because of a broken glass)

     

    Because if (we) touched the grass

    It could have never been greener

    Than the leaves of flowers newly blooming 

    In my garden of secrets

     

    Because this love was dooming 

     

    The outlet 

     

    Of a greater one I just met.



    Now I don’t have to hide behind shame

    Now thy ego cannot divide blame


    Because I am safe and sound

    There’s no number to count

    I am truthfully bound


    To the fall 


    Since I recall

    That it was all 

    Just a nightmare.
