in the orchard and rose garden
i long to see your face
in the taste of sweetness
i long to kiss your lips
in the shadows of passion
i long for your love

you are the essence of the essence:
the intoxication of love

i long to sing your praise
but stand mute
with the agony of wishing in my heart
like this

if anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual longings will look
lift your face and say
like this.

when someone quotes the old poetic image
about clouds gradually
uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen
knot by knot
strings of your robe,
like this.

if anyone wonders how jesus
raised the dead
don't try to explain the miracle
kiss me on the lips,
like this.  like this

when someone asks
what it means to "die for love", point here.

when lovers moan,
they are telling our story,
like this.

i'm the sky, where spirits live,
stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret,
like this.

when someone asks what there is to do,
light a candle in his hand,
like this...
my rumi
the poems of rumi speak for themselves...
they take you to another dimention of time and space...to a place where you wish to stay for all eternity...

i said i would take my heart back from you, but i can't

or i would live on without the pain of your love, but i can't

i said i would banish all my desires for you

i swear to you, if i am the man, i can't...
i've had enough of sleepless nights,
of my unspoken grief,
of my tired wisdom.
come my treasure.
my breath of life, come and dress my wounds,
and be my cure.
enough of words.

come to me without a sound...

i whispered an offer softly in the ear of your playful heart.
i closed my mouth and spoke in a hundred silent ways.

you know what's on my mind, you've heard my thoughts,
and now, what i described last night, i'll do tomorrow...
we are drunk of tasting the wine that came without a glass
filled with light every morning, and joyuful into the night

they say our path leads to no destination
the joy and passion we experience here is better than any destination
