The Freshness
When it's cold and raining,
you are more beautiful.
And the snow brings me
even closer to your lips.
The inner secret, that which was never born,
you are that freshness, and I am with you now.
I can't explain the goings,
or the comings. You enter suddenly,
and I am nowhere again.
Inside the majesty.
From Soul of Rumi

Rumi
The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along.

Surrender

External to my body (incomplete)
it is the intransigence of anxiety
the jangling nerve
that jerks and wiggles
but to the outside seems nary to move,
that haunts me
as I sit in silence
in the darkness of my room.
I draw the curtains
glancing down toward the earth
blues and greens spinning in the atmosphere
people laughing, smiling, embracing.
External to my body. -
