Rumi ~ poems

Love rests on no foundation.
It is an endless ocean,
with no beginning or end.

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

~
This divine love,
beckons us
to a world beyond
only lovers can see
with their eyes of fiery passion.

~
The lover is a king above all kings,
unafraid of death, not at all interested in a golden crown.
The dervish has a pearl concealed under his patched cloak.
Why should he go begging door to door?

~
The moon has become a dancer
at this festival of love.

~
They will ask you
what you have produced.
Say to them,
except for Love,
what else can a Lover produce?
