Tossing my busy head <br /> Up and down in my bed <br />In the third sleepless <br />Night, I was meditating <br />The incidents in my life <br />All through the last <br />Week together with God’s <br />Surprises and well prepared <br />Plans for me. <br /> <br />Only God knows how <br />Much I love to be <br />Surprised. <br /> <br />I used to think that emotions <br />Give Eve a beautiful GLOW, <br />But to my wonderful AWE <br />I’ve just found out: It does so <br />To Adam As well, and here <br />Is my knight sparkling, <br />Like the moon in the middle <br />Of the Arabic month, <br />As the moon in my birthday, <br />Well, I am born again today. <br /> <br />If I am the cause of that <br />Glitter on thy forehead, <br />Then I am blessed. <br /> <br />If I am not imagining <br />Things when I feel I erased <br />That GLIMPSE of sadness <br />From thy smart eyes, <br />Then I should bow <br />To God in thankfulness <br /> For making me the source <br />Of such an honour. <br /> <br />If I am the one who <br />Brought this subtle smile <br />From its hidden corner <br />Up to thy lips, then <br />I am an adventurer. <br /> <br />If it is not out of my <br />Feminine vanity, <br />The extra peace I feel <br />Surrounding thee, <br />Then there is something <br />Holy in thy sudden discovery <br />Of my existence. <br /> <br />If thou could see me <br />When I became sure <br />That the name I see <br />On the metal plate, <br />Is not a coincidence, <br />Thou would have <br /> Laughed whole <br />Heartedly from the <br />Fear that attacked me. <br /> <br />With all this distance <br />That separates us, <br />We feel each other <br />PERFECTLY. <br /> <br />What a destiny. <br />My fear ceased to be, <br />I will not insist on a tangible <br />Life or reality. <br /> <br />I will leave it to God <br />Then to thee, <br />And even if He or thou <br />Decided to leave it <br />As is, I will be satisfied <br />That the knight of my <br />Dreams once felt me. <br /> <br />Jeddah, <br />4 March 2014<br /><br />nadia abduljabbar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yester-night-and-my-knight/
