Love Poem: Instant Knowing

Instant Knowing

she remembered him as soon as their eyes met
he began walking toward her; they met in the middle
the rest of the room disappeared, nothing else mattered

she smiled at her life mate, recognizing without knowing how
he smiled, for his dreams had been all about this pretty face
the rest of the speed daters wondered what had happened

for without another word, these two walked out,
not following any rules, and not caring in the least 
the host was yelling instructions but they did not hear

he asked if he could take her hand, and she laughed
complete the second his skin touched hers,
knowing him without knowing how she knew

theirs was a soul connection 
picked up lifetime after lifetime
different bodies, but always the same instant recognition.
