    Pablo Neruda
    “If You Forget Me

    I want you to know
    one thing.

    You know how this is:
    if I look
    at the crystal moon, at the red branch
    of the slow autumn at my window,
    if I touch
    near the fire
    the impalpable ash
    or the wrinkled body of the log,
    everything carries me to you,
    as if everything that exists,
    aromas, light, metals,
    were little boats
    that sail
    toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

    Well, now,
    if little by little you stop loving me
    I shall stop loving you little by little.

    If suddenly
    you forget me
    do not look for me,
    for I shall already have forgotten you.

    If you think it long and mad,
    the wind of banners
    that passes through my life,
    and you decide
    to leave me at the shore
    of the heart where I have roots,
    remember
    that on that day,
    at that hour,
    I shall lift my arms
    and my roots will set off
    to seek another land.

    But
    if each day,
    each hour,
    you feel that you are destined for me
    with implacable sweetness,
    if each day a flower
    climbs up to your lips to seek me,
    ah my love, ah my own,
    in me all that fire is repeated,
    in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
    my love feeds on your love, beloved,
    and as long as you live it will be in your arms
    without leaving mine.”
    Pablo Neruda

    Pablo Neruda
    “Sonnet XVII

    I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
    or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
    I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
    in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

    I love you as the plant that never blooms
    but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
    thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
    risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

    I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
    I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
    so I love you because I know no other way than this:

    where I does not exist, nor you,
    so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
    so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ”
    Pablo Neruda

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I want to see you.

    Know your voice.

    Recognize you when you
    first come 'round the corner.

    Sense your scent when I come
    into a room you've just left.

    Know the lift of your heel,
    the glide of your foot.

    Become familiar with the way
    you purse your lips
    then let them part,
    just the slightest bit,
    when I lean in to your space
    and kiss you.

    I want to know the joy
    of how you whisper
    "more”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

    “I see my beauty in you.”
    Rumi

  • #16
    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I've come to take you with me
    even if I must drag you along
    But first I must steal your heart
    then settle you in my soul.

    I've come as a spring
    to lay beside your blossoms
    To feel the glory of happiness
    and spread your flowers around

    I've come to show you off
    as the adornment in my house
    and elevate you to the heavens
    as the prayers of those in love.

    I've come to take back
    the kiss you once stole
    Either return it with grace
    or i must take it by force

    You're my life
    You're my soul
    Please be my last prayer
    My heart must hold you forever

    From the lowly earth
    to the high human soul
    There are a lot more
    than a thousand stages

    Since I've taken you along
    from town to town
    no way will I abandon
    you halfway down this road

    Though you're in my hands
    Though i can throw you around
    like a child and a ball
    I'll always need to chase after you”
    Rumi

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “You try to be faithful
    And sometimes you're cruel.
    You are mine. Then, you leave.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    And when you take the lead,
    I become your footstep.
    Your absence leaves a void.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    You have disturbed my sleep,
    You have wrecked my image.
    You have set me apart.
    Without you, I can't cope.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi

  • #18
    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “You are the drop,and the ocean
    you are kindness,you are anger,
    you are sweetness,you are poison.
    Do not make me more disheartened.

    you are the chamber of the sun,
    you are the abode of venus,
    you are the garden of all hope.
    Oh, Beloved, let me enter.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi
