Best Rumi Poems

QUOTE ME RUMI

Plant me in the garden next door.
I want to be a man no more. 
I don’t want to have pain in me.
           I don’t want to be me with me.
I don’t want to...

In the absence of romance,
poetic soul succumbed to slumber,
within an eternal cocoon.

In dreams, heart searched for a place
where love had a meaning.
Where you would love me,
like the words of Rumi.

Eremetic eyes,
gazed through a billion solitary stars,
until you appeared - ravishing and radiant.
From them all, I...

“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” … Rumi


God’s consistent plan as tapestried for man's time
and blessing-stiched with knowledge threads divine,
decrees that His cherished children faithfully heed
the spiritual growth pains may gain when hearts bleed.
Since the first sad tears from first eyes...

Rage festered within my wounded soul
darkness swallowing all hope, peace
a wingless dove – denied…..  Truth the
lifeless lie of separation’s connectedness.

Eyes closed – I saw the horror of my helplessness
listened to fear’s deafening roar, tasted the
bitterness of the victim – and prayed
to the god of...

Anger is rarely locked inside me.
It gurgles from me like a stream,
not breaking like waves on shores.
But if I stay silent,
wearing displeasure
on my face, an
ocean roars
inside 
me.

I closed my mouth and I spoke to you in a hundred different ways.


You will hear my voice
In the air you breathe,
In the birds singing their hearts  out
Heralding the spring.

In the beauty of the Rose
It's enclosing petals 
Hiding my love for  you
Waiting to...

Are you sleeping?
Refreshing sleep, Master
Are your eyes open?
You know they are, Master
But you are not awake
Am not, I gasp?
You have fasted
Turned back on all desires,
And still you long
Your mind longs for enlightenment
And still you sleep,
Longing in ignorance,
For that which you now are,
Like wanting the idea
of...

Have you been ill, Rumi?
Have you called a nurse one sickening day?
I bet you have,
and did she make you better, all in all?

How was this nurse, Rumi?
Was she beautiful?
Did you try to look up her skirt?
(Don't tell me lies.)

How was the medicine?
Did it cure you,
and...

Some praise the work of Rumi
They declare him the poetry king
But his deep philosophical lines really are not my thing

William Shakespeare the Bard of Avon
I find that his work is so boring
And his use of archaic language has THIS poet snoring

Others rate the work of...

Rumi Thoughts  

When I say the word You, I mean a hundred universes
By:  Rumi 

Dipping inside the ocean of your many silences,
I find bits and pieces of the you, you truly are; 
There are so many reflections in this house of mirrors, 
but...

You strike me down, though I am innocent,
And spent no time giving you reasons.
If my skin offends you, it's your soul's content.
It's buried in the environment of your seasons.

I'll bow my head, seek your forgiveness,
And accept the wounds, where you pierced my heart.
I'll gather them...

I can’t turn back and look at the past
My journey into solitude started all too soon
Harsh words were spoken
And then silence …

All you needed to do was look at my eyes
Eyes are the windows to my soul
But you were just too blind to see
The real...

--QUOTE me RUMI--


Pains
grief
they shake
a man's stance
but by lights of love
sense and wisdom shall flower bright.
In love's eyes wounds and scars are never a disaster;
they are all the colorful curvaceous petals highlighting your everlasting grace.

Yesterday it was clever for me to take responsibility
Admittedly it was a total effort of futility
I believed you and the world at large
Would be much better off if I were in charge
If people would change I would be happy 
I tried and I tried until...
