The Fragrance of Love

 The Fragrance of Love

The Fragrance of Love
To follow the scent of love next door.
           I want to go away, for sure.
The way they took my "Shams" from me, 
           I don’t want to be me with me.
I don’t want to see the world as such,
          full of sorrow and unjust too much.
I want to kiss the moon at night.
          Seeing the scent of love with light.
I want to talk about colors and dyes.
           Painting the world with less despise.
I want to bathe in rain and dew.
           Immersing in love, renew.
I want to grant my heart with ease,
          All of the love he needs to please
I want to be a man no more,
           follow the scent of love next door.

"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?"    By Rumi

Connie thank you very much. I love Rumi. I have all his books and poems in Farsi. Everything he wrote was about love and nothing but love. When he lost his beloved teacher and mentor Shams at 39 years old, he started to recite a style of poetry called Masnavi... He wrote 8 volumes of his poetry more than 8000 poems. One day I'll read all of those for you...Haha
