Friends of the Way
Friends of the Way
I found you along the way
We’ve shared and discussed our heart’s dismay
Through your company bolted doors were made ajar
As Zulaikha’s passion, as Shirazi or Attar
A version of white sorcery
Your silence in friendship was surely no trickery!
As I burnish and rays strengthen
The lotus in you begins to open
Our bond increases
You begin to share, to unveil
The Secret Stare
You turn and begin to burn- while I glare
We take turns to burn
Is it an irony that we feel the same?
No! Surely this is truly a lovers’ game
In a shower of gentle raindrops
We dance in puddles of reflection
Surrounded by His mysterious protection
Unaware of who is who
Master-Student
Student-Master
Friend- Lover
Lover -Friend
Loved- Beloved
Beloved- Loved
Gaze down now to view the reflection
A peek at the height of love’s perfection
I see Me
You see You
We see Him
How could this be?
As in reality we only see ONE imagery!
We’ve unlocked the key to our own Mystery
Our Unity
The Truth WE see
Not Blasphemy.
The Eternal Wedding
We Wed in Eden!
Is Love the hardest thing to let go of?
A rank more exalted than a Lion’s Heart?
When your love is solely for soul’s sake;
When your love is for Light’s sake
To love Its beauty, an endless mystery
Know this is Real Love,
Eternal Love.
In that Love you see yourself, the Light and multi reflections
Know nothing but Love
Blinded by it
Name it Supreme
Then rest assured;
Your soul has ‘wed’
‘Letting go’ is temporary divorce;
An earthly separation.
The soul has family
Close and distant
All related through the Spirit
Through rays of Light,
Beams of Love.
Dismiss the physical separation!
This is an order
OBEY.
Establish real connection of heart and soul;
The secret of eternal communication
The path to constant presence with no such thing as letting go!
This wedding was an eternal ceremony
A Grand Wedding unlike the rest
A marriage to last till time infinity
All guests in attendance,
Your real family
Wed in spirit
solemnizing eternal vows
In the Garden of Eden they drank and rejoiced
On earth they reminiscence that joyous occasion
Each member met represents another anniversary!
All made aware, ‘We all were there’
All mutually longing eternal company once again.
Ultimately you shall realize
No separation between Us
No You or Me
But We were One
From time infinity

Not Two but One
Not Two but One
Rumi drank
Shems drank
Both began to whirl
gradual and steady
speed altered
Spinning until all that existed vanished
Rumi and Shems spun in ecstasy
Drunk in love
The sema carried on the night through
Dawn exposed their frantic state
Both fused
Now only one
One body
One soul
One heart
Not two but ONE
