Forever
"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
Of my beloved. How can I
help but follow the fragrance? ~ Rumi
There is something in you that I see
that churns the calmness of my mind's sea
Is it the beauty of your lovable self, so pure
that I pine to be caged in your heart, secure?
Wings of hours flap fast when you are near,
but, away from me as you glide, I fear
the slow strides of time - hours long - longer than my
endless waves of emotions of love, I sigh!
Oh my beloved...
The true loving essence of your being is the treasure,
I safeguard in my heart: I love you beyond measure;
In a faraway land, as you sparkle in fame,
In my dream, I just wish...
to be the perfect strong hardwood frame
for the graceful photo of your soul - my twin flame.
