Love’s Murmur (11/25/18)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted November 25, 2018

There is nothing remaining in my ears but Love’s murmur. There is nothing remaining in my soul –no reason, no thought– only the sweetness of Eternity. The colorless brush of Love has blended all colors. Still, the state of no-color remains. Rubailer (2016), Page 184, Rubai #4

Just Empty Words (11/11/18)

By MillicentIn quatrain (rubai), Rumi PoetryPosted November 11, 2018

By MillicentIn Gazel (longer poem), Rumi PoetryPosted November 4, 2018

Don't give water to me. I want to be Your thirsty one. Make me Your lover. Take away my sleep.   O One whose beautiful image has become the Mihrab* for me, I will keep doing Namaz** every day and night. (more…)
