My love, you are closer to me than myself... You shine through my eyes, Your light is brighter than the Moon... Step into the garden so all the flow… - Rumi
" "My love, you are closer to me than myself...
You shine through my eyes,
Your light is brighter than the Moon...
Step into the garden so all the flowers...
Even the tall poplar can kneel before your beauty...
Let your voice silence the lily famous for its hundred tongues,
When you want to be kind...
You are softer than the soul...
But when you withdraw...
You can be so cold and harsh.
Dear one, you can be wild and rebellious...
But when you meet him face to face...
His charm will make you docile like the earth,
Throw away your shield and bare your chest...
There is no stronger protection than him.
That's why when the Lover withdraws from the world...
He covers all the cracks in the wall...
So the outside light cannot come though,
He knows that only the inner light illuminates his world!

Additional quotes by Rumi
Without you the instruments would die.
One sits close beside you. Another takes a long kiss.
The tambourine begs, Touch my skin so I can be myself.
Let me feel you enter each limb bone by bone,
that what died last night can be whole today.
Why live some soberer way, and feel you ebbing out?
I won't do it.
Either give me enough wine or leave me alone,
now that I know how it is
to be with you in constant conversation.
