Beloved One

"In the house of lovers the music never stops, 
the walls are made of songs & the floor dances"
Quote by: Rumi 

Beloved one you know me like you know the stars 
and as I navigate inside the pathways of your light 
I turn into a million fireflies inside this jar 
of flaming hues, your brilliance is out of sight  

Light of my life, you are the candle of my Empire  
the blaze of my radiance, dear knight  
you are my fire and the flame of my desire, 
the breath that annihilates the night

What a beautiful homage to Rumi, the great Persian poet who wrote poems of great spiritual insight and blazed the hearts of thousands. By following his light, turn into a million fireflies..... ! Lovely image dear Rose.
