I wouldn't be able to tell
what is exactly
the colour of your eyes.
I only remember
the silver light in them,
with your sweet smile
illuminating your face,
when you looked at mine.
I miss you, Darling,
and I miss that silver light.
" The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,
they're in each other all along."
From Essential Rumi

Shower
Your fresh smiles
Like drops of dew
falling on my skin
rays in your eyes
warming my heart
making my pulse rise
to the occasion
of the unbearable
pleasure
of basking in the rain
of your happiness
showering down
on me
The Things That Don't Matter
Elated state of being
Our feelings deeply hidden
On the bottom of our eyes
My only Home in your embrace
Your Holy Grail in mine
Why should hearts ever matter?
They do not matter much.
The petal of my life held
On the palm of your hand
Time standing still by our side
Patiently and understandingly
Waiting for us to start the race
After the false start happened twice
But time does not matter much
Elated state of being
Of merge and intertwine
Knowing your heart by heart
Arrays of possibilities
Of the deepest and the sweetest
Humanly possible touch
But it doesn’t matter much
Your promises and your tears,
Our plans, and future dreams
My bottomless sorrow
And your heavy heart
Over our secret shrine
Why should dreams ever matter?
They do not matter much.
What matters is forgetting
Forgetting all that matters, and then
Forgetting that we’ve forgotten, again.
What matters is pretending
Pretending that we’ve forgotten, twice
Elated state of being,
Unnamed love
