The Time of Union Has Come (10/6/2024)

Assume I am a thorn, a bad one.

Break the Seal. Free Love (9/29/2024)

Break the Seal. Free Love. (9/29/2024)

That divine gift, the Water of Life,

is invisible, concealed in this clay body.

The self has put a seal on your heart,

and Love stays imprisoned there.

Break the seal. Free Love. What are you afraid of?

There is a secret path in your heart.

Follow that path to find the Beloved.

Amazing! (9/15/2024)

Amazing! (9/15/20240

Night has come.

But, what is this amazing burning in my heart?

I think it must be the dawn of a new day

which the eyes of the lover cannot see.

The eyes of Love do not differentiate between day and night.

The eyes of Love blind the eyes of lovers. Amazing!

Don’t Ask for Reason (9/1/2024)

Don’t Ask for Reason (9/1/2024)

At night, I turn around the city like wind.

running like water.

How can sleep overcome the one

who walks around the city in darkness?

The mind is the one who wants to have everything in order.

Don’t ask for reason or manners from the drunk.

Inside (8/25/2024)

There is a Soul inside of your soul.

Search for it.

There is a jewel in the mountain of your flesh.

Look for the mine, the source of that jewel.

O one who walks on the path to God,

if that is what you are searching for,

you will find it only inside of yourself.

The Rubaiyat of Rumi, The Ergin Translations, Volume 3, rubai 1172, page 132.

Because of You (8/11/2024)

Because of You (8/11/2024)

You would never consider praising or loving Yourself.

But, You are so beautiful.

If You were to show Yourself,

both worlds would start fighting each other. Continue reading “Because of You (8/11/2024)”
