  1. Rumi has beautiful love poetry!

    ---------------------------------

    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.

    --------------------------------

    Do You Love Me?

    A lover asked his beloved,

    Do you love yourself more

    than you love me?

    The beloved replied,

    I have died to myself

    and I live for you.

    I’ve disappeared from myself

    and my attributes.

    I am present only for you.

    I have forgotten all my learning,

    but from knowing you

    I have become a scholar.

    I have lost all my strength,

    but from your power

    I am able.

    If I love myself

    I love you.

    If I love you

    I love myself.

    -------------------------

    Love is reckless; not reason.

    Reason seeks a profit.

    Love comes on strong,

    consuming herself, unabashed.

    Yet, in the midst of suffering,

    Love proceeds like a millstone,

    hard surfaced and straightforward.

    Having died of self-interest,

    she risks everything and asks for nothing.

    Love gambles away every gift God bestows.

    Without cause God gave us Being;

    without cause, give it back again.
