VERY OLD FRIENDS

"your heart and my heart are very very old friends"

~ Rumi 

2 WINGS TO FLY

“God
 turns you 
from one feeling 
to another 
and teaches 
by means of opposites, 
so that you 
will have two wings
to fly,
not one.”

~ Rumi ~

MEDICINE

Through love
   all pain
 will turn
  to medicine

 ~ Rumi ~

THE PATH

' even though the path is never ending
Taking a step forward and Keep Walking,
Do not look with fear in the distance...
In this way let the heart be your guide
Because your body is hesitant and is full of fear '.

~ Rumi ~

LOVED AND PROTECTED HER

He loved
and protected her
but not
in the enclosing,
suffocating way

not like the wall
which keeps a flower
in its persistent shadow
for the flower
will wilt,
but like the wall
on which
a vine
finds support
and slowly rises
never held back
until it
grows
and spreads
into every inch
every corner

PAPER BOAT

Hold still
My tiny paper boat
As I place within you
A dream
And hope
The wind will set you free
And take you along the stream
And if you touch the horizon
And meet with the sun
Tell him what you hold on to
And where from
You come

TEARS

"There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues.
They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love."


~Rūmī    

WALK ON THE GROUND YOU STEP ON

I want to be where your bare foot walks, 

because maybe before you step, 

you'll look at the ground. 

I want that blessing.

Rumi 

Never lose hope,

my dear heart,

miracles dwell in the invisible

~ Rumi ~

LET GO THE SORROW

Let The Sorrow Go To The Sorrow,
The Joy To The Joy,

Let The Mud Go To The Mud,
And The Heart

Rise To Heaven.

~ Rumi   

LIFT THE CURTAINS

To let
 the light
in
one must remember
to lift
the curtains
from their soul  

     

RELIGION OF LOVE

I profess the religion of Love,

Love is my religion and my faith.

My mother is Love. 

My father is Love.

My prophet is Love. 

My God is Love.

I am a child of Love.

I have come only to speak of Love.

 ~ Rumi 

FROM OUR HEART

Only from the heart can you touch the sky.

 ~ Rumi 

MORNING LIGHT

She woke up with a crestfallen heart on a dull, lonesome soul.
Surrounded by the fake warmth of feather-feed pillows.

But just as she opened her window, she was awestruck by wonder
as she watched the sun let loose a billion spectrum in her hair and saw
the dew-washed morning unfold before her longing eyes,
like a story.

and she thought....
maybe today will be a good day after all


  

LIGHT THE PATH

When your soul is looking for you, 

light a candle on its path.

 ~ Rumi  — 

TENDER WORDS

"Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world."

~ Rumi 

LIKE FLOWER

A woman is like a flower, to make her bloom you must shower her with tenderness and love.
For passion to grow she will need to open the windows of her heart and mind.
As a husband it is important to get to know your wife's essence, her spirit.


Wallahu'alam.

OCEAN DEEP

Your heart is the size of an ocean. 

Go find yourself
in its hidden depths.

~ Rumi  

GREATEST STRENGTH

Our greatest strength 

lies in the gentleness and tenderness 

of our heart.

~ Rumi 

HOMESICK

She was homesick for places

she was yet to visit

and for people who

were yet to come   

MISS BROKEN PIECES & MR. UNIQUE

Her broken pieces lay scattered across the floor.
He slowly lifted one.

The sharp edges stung him, cutting into his skin and making him bleed, but.... he hid the hurt somewhere behind his smile and continued to pick the others up.

She watched him in disbelief, wary with distrust, did not understand why someone was making the effort to put her together, when nobody had ever done so before.

People came, tried to pick up a shattered portion but withdrew as soon as it pinched them.

Then why was he still here? His hands were now a shade red, covered in cuts and bruises, a reflection of her heart.

Slowly, carefully, he help rebuild her, yet she was not herself anymore, for each piece had been marked with his fingerprints and smeared with his blood.

The black of her sorrows was fading away, yet she was now coloured in a sweeter pain.



* in half awake, she wonder about him being like that, She felt blessed and grateful.  

TWO WORLD

The two worlds are joyous because of you.

Don’t stay in this world without me.

Don’t go to the next world without me. 

~Rumi 

BLAZING SPIRIT

"There is a Fire blazing inside of me.

If I cry about it,
or if I don't,

the fire is at work,
night and day!" 

~ Rumi

THE JEWEL

Stop searching 

here and there

the jewels

are inside you!

~Rumi
