I wish I could<br>Know and understand.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I think I am a normal being<br>A full and healthy woman<br>Yet such actions are beyond<br>My mental capability, <br>Am I not a passionate female, <br>A genuine poetess? <br>Then why does my desire <br>disappears and becomes elusive, <br>Like a phantom or a mirage, <br>When shy from God, <br>Why the need for His consent<br>Is always a must to have it<br>Fulfilled, why loving <br>Him honestly thwarts loving <br>a man whom I would <br>Rather melt in his arms? ! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And wonder I<br>Again and again, <br>About my desire: <br>Is it a Phoenix, <br>What puts it to fire<br>What can inflame it, <br>And what puts it<br>Back to ashes.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">28 October,2005</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Nadia+Abduljabbar">Nadia Abduljabbar</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=464947" data-title="Is Desire a Phoenix? ! de Nadia Abduljabbar" data-description="Is Desire a Phoenix like; A being so strong, Yet so fragile, I wonder? !
