My love for you
has driven me insane

I wander aimlessly
the ruins of my life
my old self a stranger to me

Because of your love
I have broken with my past

My longing for you
keeps me
in this moment
My passion
gives me courage

I look for you
in my innermost being

I used to read
the myths of love
Now I have become
the mythical lover

--Jalaluddin Rumi
(The love poems of Rumi by Deepak Chopra)

Its awesome... I believe the verses can be interpreted in either way, love for a person or love for God.

Skyhawk73 and Cupcakes....welcome to the world of Rumi....I encourgae to read some of his translations either through the net or through buying some of his published works

I am glad you like it Arrack

this was beautiful. thanks Bluerobin for sharing it with us! :)

that was amazing..and just like skyhawk..im new to rumi's poetry as well..

I am new to Rumi's poetry. Fascinated with the simplicity and passion in his words and his absolute love for God.

I am glad you liked it SamH.....Rumi's poetry is outstanding.

well that would explain it :)

To tell you the truth Masti555....I dont think that this poem as with most of Rumi's poetry is directed to other persons...It seems to me they are directed to God!

very nice.

was this written for a specific person in rumi's life?
