Rumi: The Big Red Book
Whose idea was this,
to have the lover visible
and the beloved invisible?
So many people have died for their desiring
because of this. The lover cannot kiss
the lips he wants, so he bites himself!
Satisfaction is always two bow-shots away,
and yet something in the soul
prefers this unreachable Lover
to anyone reachable.
This being locked-in,
is better than having the keys
to the consolation-house.
The Beloved`s rejection is wanted more
than anyone else`s acceptance.
World-happinesss is nothing.
Look for what Bestami had, for
what Sanai and Attar wrote of.
A beautiful meal looks delicious.
Then one night passes, and the food passes
through you, becoming repellent filth.
Eat Love-food.
Suckle the toes of a Lion
like the baby Abraham did in the cave.
But you should put away what you learned
as a foetus in your cave, that need for blood.
There is a tall tower that Love builds.
Live there in Silence.
The One who knows all secrets
is here now, nearer
than your jugular vein.
