A Man Beyond Words

A Man Beyond Words
by Maha Noor Elahi

"Who is the man
Behind your words and your wounds?",
Repeatedly, I've been asked.
With a poignant smile pondered I,
About you...what can be divulged?
Emotions...letters...utterances
Thousands of them crowded my essence...
Astoundingly, nothing could I state.
Darling...you're not just behind my scars...
You're far beyond any engaging grace.
It's not merely words that you aggregate;
It's my outrageous hell you generate...
It's my heavenly entity you elevate.
With you, my femininity
Flooded, fulminated, and fluttered.
With you, my creativity
Flashed, flamed, and flourished.
Yet, for them and me,
The prolonged question,
"Who is he?"
An ambiguity will remain;
A recherché being.
"Who is he? Who is he?"
To them, I can only say
He's the only man
Who could unshackle and explain
The real chaotic me.
