Verses of the Soul...


My heart, on this path words are hollow. At the door of Union
you have to surrender yourself.
You will never soar to the sky
where His birds fly
unless you give up your wings.....

******************************

A soul that carries your image, beloved
never withers nor fades.
The slim crescent of the moon signals
only the beginning of fulness.

******************************

To dance is not to jump to your feet at once
and rise painlessly in the air like dust.
To rise above both worlds
is to dance in the blood of your pain
and give up your life.

******************************

****************

I threw my heart to the winds
and followed you.
One day the wind brought me your scent,
my heart swelled in gratitude
and scattered in the wind

****************

Do not leave me,
hide in my heart like a secret,
wind around my heart like a turban.
"I come and go as I please,"
you say, "swift as a heartbeat."
You can tease me as much as you like,
but never leave me.

****************

The back of hope
is bent by separation,
the hands of longing
tied by cruelty
but the lover never despairs.
For a cimmitted heart
everything is possible.

****************

The dew of love
turned a lump of clay into a man
and the whole world was stirred.
A hundred lances pierced
the veins of Spirit;
one drop fell on Earth
and we named it Heart.

****************

DO not fear, there is always wine
if you are thirsty for love.
Do not fear, there is always water
if your lips are parched.
Do not fear your ruin,
inside you there is a treasure.
Open your eyes, for this world
is only a dream.
****************

I have lived on the lip
of insanity, wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside!

****************

Every friend who talked of love, became a foe.
Every eagle shifted its shape to a crow.
They say the night is pregnant, and I say,
Who is the father? And how do you know?
Since the flower withers in the dark,
The bud blooms to leave its mark,
Happy is the heart, light as a bubble,
At the tavern is naked, stark.

Writing from within, Zaffy, comes like this:

"Insanity lives on the lips of me, for want of a door, banging without reason from within. I look inside, there is nothing there."

Zaffy, I cannot respond to your note bro. Can you please add me? (Zai-di is the last name, minus the minus.)
