Light Up

Light up the Fire I gaze into the heart, lowly it may be,

Thought the words be higher still.

For the heart is all the substance,

The speech an accident.

How many phrases will you speak,

Too many for me.

How much burning, burning will you feel,

Be friendly with the fire, enough for me.

Light up the fire of love inside,

And blaze the thoughts away.

Stop this Day

Stop this day and night with me

And you shall posses the origin of ALL poems    

You shall posses the good of the earth and Sun...

There are millions of Suns left,

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand..

nor look through the eyes of the dead..

nor feed on the specters in books,

You shall not look through my eyes either,

nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides

and filter them for yourself.

Walt Whitman

I am Alone with You

"My God and my Lord: Eyes are at rest, 
  the stars are setting, 
  hushed are the movements of birds in their nests, 
  of monsters in the deep. 
  And you are the Just who knows no change, 
  the Equity that does not swerve, 
  the Everlasting that never passes away. 
  The doors of kings are locked and guarded by their henchmen, 
  but Your door is open to those who call upon You. 
  My Lord, each lover is now alone with his beloved 
  And I am alone with You." 
 'Rabi'a al Adawiya'

Walking through the streets she was seen carrying a bucket of water in one hand and a burning candle in the other. When asked why, she said: "I want to set fire to heaven with this flame and put out the fire of hell with this water so that people will cease to worship God for fear of hell or for temptation of heaven. One must love God as God is Love." He, Glorious and Majestic said, "I was a hidden treasure, and I wanted to be known. So I created the Creation in order to be known." Hence to know His creation is to know Him; to love His creation is to love Him.

Be Sure of That

"A true Lover doesn't follow any one religion, 
be sure of that.
Since in the religion of Love, 
there is no irreverence or faith.
When in Love, 
body, mind, heart and soul don't even exist.
Become this, 
fall in Love, 
and you will not be separated again." Rumi

The Great Song

THE GREAT SONG

Even though the world changes like cloud formations

all that is fulfilled returns home to the changeless One.

Above all the turning and changing

wider and freer, remains Your Song,

God with the lyre, God with the heart.

Sufferings have not been learned, 

loving has not really been learned, 

and what separates us in death

has not been unveiled.  

But the Great Song above the earth 

hallows and celebrates it all.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
