*
You think you are alive
because you breathe air?
Shame on you,
that you are alive in such a limited way.
Don't be without Love,
so you won't feel dead.
Die in Love
and stay alive forever. **
*
*The Lovers*
will drink wine (of love) night and day.
They will drink until they can
tear away the veils of intellect and
melt away the layers of shame and modesty.
When in Love,
body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.
Become this,
fall in Love,
and you will not be separated again.

*Love came,
and became like blood in my body.*

* It rushed through my veins and
encircled my heart.*

* Everywhere I looked,
I saw one thing.*

* Love's name written
on my limbs,
on my left palm,
on my forehead,
on the back of my neck,
on my right big toe…
*

*Oh, my friend,
all that you see of me
is just a shell,
and the rest belongs to love.*



*By day I praised you
and never knew it.*

**

* By night I stayed with you
and never knew it.*

* I always thought that...
I was me-- but no,
I was you
and never knew it.*

-Rumi
