Love Whispers (11-15-15)
Love Whispers (11/15/15)

Love says, “I will give hundreds, thousands of lives

To the one who gives his life to me.”

Listen to what Love whispers in your ears;

He is pulling you next to Him by pulling on them.

Ergin, Rubailar, Verse #3, Page 220

Hurry Up, Reach Me (10/25/15)

Posted on October 25, 2015November 11, 2015 by Millicent

Hurry-Up-Reach-MeI 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
