Forever In Hiding Poem by Afzal Shauq

For you...
I choose my face
stay forever Veiled
I will always be....
Hidden
from your eyes.


You are
near to my heart
Though the love I feel
Maybe truly great....
veiled...
I remain.

Your thoughts
and your fantasies
Made of me a beauty
that does not exist...
nor...
can not be.
