Afzal Shauq - WORRIES

I made my way to her heart
fixed on her eyes
I stepped beside her
trying to get closer.

I saw her true face
Terror struck me
I began to sweat
My body quaking.
broke into pieces
I could not run
my legs stiffened
not knowing what to do?
Fear held me motionless
The Yupa before me
eyes like burning coals
Shot flames from her nose
like a dragon
