Separated By Space And Time Poem by Saliu Muideen

In a very far corner of the world
You are silently far away from me
Both in space and time
I looked for a way
To bridge the distance
And speed up the time
So that we can meet one day

But it is not in my capacity to do so
Because Allah is in charge
Of both space and time

In the fantasies of your love
I drift away in assumptions
Imagining how beautiful may look like
And how cool you are
Trying to draw the picture of you in my heart
But it is too complicated for me
Because beauty is beyond description

I see beyond in my heart
That in the not too distant future
We'll surely meet one day
If Allah wills

By the sound of your voice
I heard coolness and serenity
Together with humbleness and honesty
All of them embedded in you

I silently closed my eyes
And prayed to Allah alone
To make my dreams come true
I never doubt Him at all
For surely I'll meet you one day
