- A POEM FOR THE POET OF
“TWIST OF FATES”
( A Dedication to Afzal Shauq)
By : Melissa Lundeen
After reading the TWIST OF FATES
his words
on their expedition over so many pages
how they moved so beautifully
in their crossing of two languages
succinct and deep
are their precious meanings
I found myself awash
in remorse
and powerful empathy
as I weeped right along side
those many loves lost
amid insights gained
the hair pin curves of life
woven with hope and disillusionment
all landmarks to a flesh, blood and bone being
gracing time with his mission's journey
is a pleasure just to get to ride
along behind his eyes
with his heart
and through his hand
I uncap my pen to you Afzal
the only way I know how
with this inpromptu poem
you are a sunburst off the largest star
man has known
and with but your words
you can not imagine
the subsequent heat that resonates
in the very soul......................
