Hello everyone 🙂
Thank you so much for all the well wishes. I am (and have been) feeling much better now :). My absence has mainly been due to work and it doesnt look like ill be able to write poetry for a while although, I will try when I get the chance and have the energy!! In the meantime, here is another one of my favourite Rumi poems for you. With much much love to you all!!
If I pray but receive no answer
I’ll endure in faithful patience
Like the dead forests of winter
Sure of the coming
Of the season of Life
In my patience
I place my trust in your hands
Persisting in silence
As you twist my soul
Cleansing the rag of its tainted water
When the hour of your answer strikes
Like the light that breaks free
From the darkest of clouds
I will give thanks
In both tears and laughter
My wings will spread wide
Carried by Love through open skies
And I will leave behind
The broken home
I lived in patiently
Before you brought me Life
My Beloved
I did not guard my heart
My desires have entered
They sit upon your throne
My Beloved,
They have taken control
Brought sadness and fear
I am human no more
My Beloved,
Breathe Life into me
Let the fire of your Love
Once again, clean out your home
My Beloved,
Come and take what’s yours
Turn me to nothing
Let me be consumed
My Beloved,
Do not forsake me
I surrender my life
So I may live in You
Grateful
For precious Life
Every singing breath
Praising the One Beloved One
Thankful
For the sleeping beauty within
Awakened by the kiss
Of Spirit’s Light
Humbled
By the power of pouring Grace
Flooding worlds in mercy
Dancing in rain
Ecstatic

Soul mate
Love of my life
Her heart is my pillow
She’s the shelter within my storms
Lovers
We’ve become one
Every thought and feeling
Each others beyond place and time
Forever
My eyes swell up in tears when I think of you, my Love
Like leaves covered in drops of dew
My heart jumps up in delight when I think of you, my Love
Like flowers at the first sight of spring
My soul is filled with strength when I think of you, my Love
Like lions protecting their precious cubs
I become nothing when I think of you, my Love
Like moths burned in their love of flames
I become everything when I think of you, my Love
Like the rare souls that find you
Within themselves and without
Just at the thought of you
My face turns into the moon
Glowing it brightens
My darkest of moods
Just at the thought of you
My eyes turn into the sky
Spread wide they spill out
A luminous light
Just at the thought of you
My whole being comes to life
Each atom smiles and
Dances in delight
Just at the thought of you
I believe in miracles
With you by my side
What’s not possible?
Just at the thought of you
My heart overflows with love
So warm it becomes
Vibrant and alive
