Rambi, thats interesting I just got "The Love Poems of Rumi" It was suppose to be a gift but I'm keeping it. And in keeping with Rumi's celebration today (Sebul Arus- Night of Union)the day he died Dec 17, 1273; here is this from him: Looking for Love A strange passion is moving in my head. My heart has become a bird which searches in the sky. Every part of me goes in different directions. Is it really so that the one I love is everywhere? ~Rumi yep... I'm hooked, (no worms for me,though) How about Hafiz(Sufi): from"The Gift" It Felt Love How Did the rose Ever open its heart And give to this world All its Beauty? It felt the encouragement of light Against its Being, Otherwise, We all remain Too Frightened. he is also know as Shams-ud-din Muhammad and I posted another of his poems on the Poetry thread. Enjoy the day ~.~ Hey Nancy if you read this I haven't forgotten to post back-- first I have to find a book from Arthur Sze...I know I have it somewhere.

Rambi - Happy Holidays-I found a love poem by Octavio Paz (1914) I am going to have to memorize and recite it on a romantic evening with a slow fire , soft candles and a couple half-empty bottles of wine carelessly scattered, get cozy.. try this at home..said slowly (whispered) and paused between stanza's...look longingly..feign a kiss....bite an ear... works great on my dog. Two Bodies Two bodies face to face are at times two waves and night is an ocean Two bodies face to face are at time two stones and night a desert. Two bodies face to face are at times two roots laced into night. Two bodies face to face are at times two knives and night strikes sparks. Two bodies face to face are two stars falling in an empty sky.
