Click hereToday in the café,
A woman sang songs of life and love.
She sang in a soft sweet voice that spoke of joy and loss...
Today in the café,
A woman sang songs that found dark places in my heart.
Songs that found sadness hidden there.
She sang songs to my heart...
Today in the café,
A woman sang songs that made me think of you.
Of joy and sadness we both shared,
Of the loss and wealth of life.
Of eyes filled with laughter and tears...
Today in the café,
A woman sang songs that touched my heart,
And my heart thought of you...
...and cried.
For some reason this poem evokes Nizar Qabbani, something from his Love Letter 10, which (in one translation) begins with "Your love flung me into the land of Wonder".
And also his little poem titled: "A man's nature"
A man needs one minute
to love a woman
and centuries to forget her.
