Rumi

Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.

Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
Rumi

You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?

"Love is the reality, and poetry is the drum."

"I want to say words that flame as I say them, but I keep quiet and don't try to make both words fit in one mouthful."

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere they're in each other all along.
