When Numbers No Longer Count

 

sleeping with the enemy

is like fucking with strangers

in vast yet familiar bed

    • Mottakeenur Rehman

      "When Numbers No Longer Count" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Through its vivid imagery and blunt language, the poem captures the confusion and emotional upheaval that can arise when intimacy turns to estrangement.

        my word .. now if you would only buy x1 copy of each of my eight published poetry books to date and write an accurate review which would undoubtedly encourage others to follow suit .. you would be helping the three charities to which royalty monies are paid into .. namely cancer, brain tumour and mental health ..

        • Mottakeenur Rehman

          Thank you for your understanding and suggestions for how I can still support your cause. I will definitely share information about your books and the charities they support on my social media accounts and recommend them to others who might be interested. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute in any way I can, and I hope that your books and your efforts to support cancer, brain tumor, and mental health continue to make a positive impact.

                    I have a bit of a bed obsession. I do have a wee smidgin of trouble incorporating the relations you speak of into my conception.
                    I do hope, however it all turns out well..... 😇!!!

                        sorry for my rant below, Hyung
                        this a trigger topic for me..
                        (saddest part of our psychological
                        troubles
                        is that symptoms, are only evident
                        to those
                        who choose to empathise and fight
                        to excavate
                        to that hidden depth of repressed
                        self-hate, which underlines
                        so many
                        of the choices we see in people
                        that defy logic
                        choices, born of such pitiful levels
                        of self worth
                        choices, that insures their cycle of hurt
                        continues
                        even after escaping their aggressors
                        in-fact
                        they are not choices at all, more like
                        its all they know
                        recreating, reliving that same hell
                        because someone, poisoned their mind
                        early on
                        making them feel, like they deserve
                        only the worst in life
                        and what do we,
                        'the well adjusted, judgemental' do
                        recognising the symptoms:
                        best of us, act like we don't realise
                        feigning ignorance
                        while the rest point and name call
                        vomiting those
                        'hoar' and 'walk of shame' labels
                        yet, still
                        the very worst
                        prey on those vulnerable poor souls
                        time n again
                        to sate their barbaric depravity
                        then boast allowed their conquest numbers
                        and then
                        every decent person, is left
                        to try and undo the damage
                        of those neurotically insidious fools;
                        Dante, got it wrong
                        there's more than one level of hell for such lustful vermin's
                        in-fact an entire universe of hell
                        is dedicated just for them
                        or at least, I like to think...!)
