Lost in a subtle metaphor
Asif Sultan Matta
31st December 2016
Battling to compare my laden heart's weight
with which that could show its state
I fail to link it with that you're familiar,
To reveal it's shrewd hiding traits
How would I show a kid, how Noah's flood seemed,
Rushing rivers and raging seas can't such intensity create;
Should I compare it with tumbling trees in gale?
Or shaken with wild deluge, a dashed flood-gate?
Lost I am in subtle metaphors of life
Too naive to portray my abject state...
