The Dancing Flame

Look to the Candle burning slowly in the window,
See in its burning desire,
it melts away any form of self,
becoming one with the air on fire.

Such is the life of a Candle,
its purpose is the immolation of Self.
and without this,
the candle would not exist.

We too are the candles of the world
lighting the flame of life.
However, only the Lovers see themselves as such,
and dance in this fiery flare!

Learn for Attar's moth,
who learned such secrets by dousing his very existence in the light,
and who still soars among every flickering torch,
his being is the wax and wane of the dancing glow.

Together

Do you feel as I do When I see your face, from your smile that lights the sky, to your eyes that glare into my mind? Do you feel as I do, when I am all alone, contemplating on my life's successes and flaws, when your name reminds me of both? Do you feel as I do, when you are sitting next to me, your thighs touching mine? We are caught in a lover's embrace, and like quicksand, the only way out is to move slowly moving to the beating of our synchronized hearts. O Beloved, If you feel as I do, clear your mind of all distractions, and reveal your heart's passions to me! For it is in the house of the Friend, where I shall find you, and we shall forever be Together.

Candy

The sweetness of candy gives life to those who were blessed with her presence, Her inquisitive eyes peer deep into your soul,  With a warmness that melts the snowcapped mountains like the Spring. Her energy gives life to flowers,  a reason to bloom and share their colours and beauty with all existence. Her racing mind, that never stops to rest,  Like a sugar cube that melts in tea, She gives up her existence to make life sweeter for those around her. Such candy is intoxicating,  One bite of her lips will leave you wanting more, When the Lover tastes the all the flavours of the Beloved, In The Tavern of Unity,  where Lover and Beloved become one, her taste puts the Lover under her influence,  He loses himself and dances in remembrance of the nourishment of his soul with hers. Be careful to savour this candy, For there is none like it in the world, And just as the street lamp bestows it's light on the darkest alleys, She bestows her nectar on the Soul.

Lost

My Heart beckons for your voice, The voice of the Sirens, Who sent many astray. But with you, O Beloved, To be lost is to be found! In losing myself, I shall find you. This world we live in, With politics destructive and egos grand, Is not a world for us. Look for me in the hidden grove, Where no man can find us. I will be on the road less traveled, as Frost told me to go. The road may be tough, But with you, I have no fears, But one, losing you. So dear Beloved, Use your light and show me the Path, So once I am lost, I can never be found.
