The mind is a road block on the journey, O son.
The road is wide open; untie this bond, tear it, O son.
This Is Expected (11/1/15)

Hurry Up, Reach Me (10/25/15)
I don’t have any friend besides Love.
Love was with me before I came into this world, and It is with me still.
Soul yells, “O lazy one on Love’s way,
Come on, hurry up, reach me.”
Ergin, Rubailer, V. 1, Page 17
We Would Be Annihilated (10/18/15)
Your kindness comes after sorrow, every time, every moment.
Otherwise, no one could withstand this suffering.
You Are Still Alive (10/11/15)
You are satisfied, but I haven’t had enough of this drink.
I am annihilated, but you are still alive.
The millstone turns and cries quietly
As long as water flows through the canal.
Ergin, Rubailer, V. 1, Page 432
Conversation with the Beloved (10/4/15)
O torch for night passengers!
O chain for crazy lovers!
O direction of prayer for everyone!
O my Caravan Master!
On the Journey to Love (9/27/15)
O One who has become an admonition to my eyes!
The eyes of all the ones who came before or will come after
Have never seen a Love like this.
Don’t Ask for Reason (9/20/15)
At night, I turned 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.
Ergin, Rubailer, V.98, p. 197
