Rumi





I’ll never look for somewhere else to live,
no longer shy about how I love. My eyes open.
You are everywhere. Collyrium: Medicine, for
clearing sight and strengthening circulation.



Love comes sailing through and I scream.
Love sits beside me like a private supply of itself.
Love puts away the instruments,
and takes off the silk robes. Our nakedness
together changes me completely.



Much commotion at your door,
all attention drawn that way.

Remember, even though I’ve done terrible things,
I can still see the whole world in your face.



The wine forbidden in this place
creates life for the inner being.
Fill with that and forget consequences.
There’s no beginning or end.
