True

I want to take our relationship to the next level.

It’s become boring.

It’s become meaningless.

It’s only entangled with daily routine which never grow, but my jealous heart. I know, I must behave myself. I told ‘em so.

Our love is a journey.

It supposed to be slow, but, who would know that the road was so bumpy and you couldn't help to fall for the rock that scattered all over our way.

I know, my dear.

I must have been crazy. I must have been mad.

But, true love worth the wait.

Love

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky,

to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

First, to let go of live.

In the end, to take a step without feet;

to regard this world as invisible,

and to disregard what appears to be the self.

Heart, I said, what a gift it has been

to enter this circle of lovers,

to see beyond seeing itself,

to reach and feel within the breast.

 The Divani Shamsi Tabriz, XIII

Peace

Let go of your worries

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror

that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,

behold yourself

and see the shameless truth,

which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished

to a mirror-like finish,

what polishing might the mirror

of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart

is this single difference:

the heart conceals secrets,

while the mirror does not.

A Momment of Happiness

A moment of happiness,

you and I sitting on the verandah,

apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here,

you and I, with the garden's beauty

and the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us,

and we will show them

what it is to be a thin crescent moon.

You and I unselfed, will be together,

indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.

The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar

as we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,

and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

Kulliyat-e Shams, 2114
