TWO SOULS DANCING
They were not the greatest dancers…
Their bodies didn’t always move the way they wanted them to move…
and in all the years they’ve danced together…their dancing has not improved..
When the music starts to play…they try moving with the beat
but she is always one step behind…and he has two left feet.
During slow songs they hold each other…they

Till souls abate
I take this time to meditate,
Your kindness I appreciate,
Your love arrived, not too late,
Lamplight's on, open that gate,
Souls transcend, don't hesitate,
Admire your wooing, can wait,
Golden glow we escalate,
Breathless afterglow, our state,
Until we fade, spirits to abate....

Love and Broken Souls
Love is a complicated feeling, they say,
Understanding its depth isn't like child's play.
But isn't love as simple as breathing, I ask,
Who knew that fate was planning a cruel task.
Love is liberation, salvation, they say,
But what about the ones drowning in gray?
What about the feeling that you could taint someone pure—
Their charm, their smile, their allure.
Love

Souls on fire
Let me gaze into your eyes
Look deep into mine
Let our souls intertwine
And create that magic we cant deny
Don't look away, my twinflame
As I break through every barrier
you've built up
I promise if you let me in
I'll keep your heart warm
with my undying love
Embracing the unknown together,
So scary, but we can't give up
There

SOULS HAVE COLOR
The soul has color
Yes, it's absolutely true...
Evil has a soul of an undefined color,
Good has a transparent soul,
Angels and children

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 30
Part Thirty — The Story's End
Sweet Giti, gem in heaven's ring,
Stayed true in love through everything.
Her heart she gave to her dear flame,
Soul's companion, love's sweet name.
And Saeed—behold his blessed state!
Though challenged by his cruel fate,
Hear how his trials came to bear
His faithful heart, worn down by care.
Despite the wounds and aching soul,
From strangers' scorn

Part Twenty-Seven — Giti Speaks with Her Father and His Reply
Sweet Giti, like an idol fair,
A thousand hearts caught in her hair.
As soft and gentle as the breeze,
Her charm could bring strong men to knees.
She locked her heart and gave love's key,
Sugar-sweet smiles for all to see.
She turned and gently told her sire:
"O father dear,

Part Twenty-Four — The Fifth Cupbearer's Song
O Saqi, one glance—show mercy here,
And heal this wound with wine so clear.
Fill up the cup for we are dry,
Drunk with desire that makes us sigh.
That cup like chalice of the kings,
Whose breath brought joy to all good things.
A draught that when it's poured for any,
Banishes sorrow, heals so

Part Twenty-One — Saeed's Supplication to God
One day with flute and mournful song,
Saeed began a prayer so long.
His patience broke, he lost his hold,
His heart grew weary, tired, and cold.
Disheartened by both friend and kin,
Sorrow consumed his soul within.
He turned toward the starlit sky
And raised to heaven his mournful cry:
"O Lord, Creator of all worlds,
O

Part Eighteen — The Counsel of Saeed's Relatives
They came to Saeed, kith and kin,
Their faces pale, their hearts within
Full of concern. They gently said,
"What sorrow fills your weary head?
You've cast your soul before her feet,
Forsaken all for love so sweet.
You've lost yourself within her spell,
A wanderer in love's deep well.
You've severed ties with all the

Part Fifteen — The Third Cupbearer's Song
O Saqi, pour the midnight wine
That bears the ancient royal sign.
Arise and swiftly bring, I pray,
That sacred draught to light our way.
The wine that ruby lips inspire
And shakes the mountain's heart of fire.
A cup whose color glows like flame,
Beyond all count, beyond all name.
Bring forth that pure, untainted bliss
And

Part Twelve — Saeed Meets Giti
He reached her street, his senses fled,
As if his earthly time had sped.
The wind arose with scents so rare,
Her fragrance floating on the air.
He knew by grace of heaven above
That near him dwelt his truest love.
Swift as the breeze, to her he came,
With trembling heart and soul aflame.
Before her face

Part Nine — Saeed's Love Revealed to All
Young Saeed rose in joyful flight,
A bird set free in morning light.
Through streets and lanes he wildly spun,
His careful mask now came undone.
He sang of Giti's promised grace,
Of all he'd seen in her sweet face.
But such delight, so loudly told,
Released the secret love he'd hold.
The very rooftops heard

Part Six — The Story Begins
The tale begins, as poets say,
Of lovers two who found their way.
That radiant child, so young and fair,
A cypress tall with flowing hair.
The envy of all idols bright,
With beauty born to charm the sight.
Wherever she would softly tread,
A thousand hearts behind her fled.
That idol—when her veil was drawn,
The pride of
