Mutual Poem by nadia abduljabbar

You know,
I know;
It is rare,
But it does happen
Every now and then,
Life surprises us
With such a thing
We feel we want to sing;
People meet
Somewhere
And they feel
As if they knew
Each other
Before this life
On other planet
May be,
Or on the date
Of The Creation
Of pure Souls
Long before earth
Was to appear
In its final glorious form
And the soul sings
A happy melody
With a touch
Of sadness
With a sting,

Of Fear
Caused by REASON
Which interferes
In the heart,
Affair;
For time is so short
Yet the need for a touch
Is so strong
It defeats the din,
Reason rises up
Trying hard to rank
With a clang
With hearts' beat
To slow the rush
Of strong emotion
And throw doubt:
May be it is just a ‘crush’,
But a crush
Includes neither
Intellectuality
Nor Spirituality
Ours includes both
With a strong note
Who knows
What will happen next? !
