1 — First off is a favorite poem of mine. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful yet filled with hope and overflowing with the nourishment only love can bring. In the poem, the man is longing for the love that once flowed between the two lovers and in turn, the woman says, ‘not so fast — I’m still here and I’m here to love you flaws and all for I, too, have flaws’ — at least that’s my interpretation of this enchanting love poem by Rumi.

In my hallucination
I saw my beloved’s flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses,
I, too, have been covered with thorns
