SUGAR PATH
some lines from Rumi
(12th century poet)
Sugar Path honey vale
Smooth love
You are sunlight
warming me through,
our souls are dancing
with each other
without feet they dance
Turning me and turning me
like a water wheel,
Wandering this world
is wandering that,
both inside one transparent sky
I dream you are here
where are you?
Lovers think they are
looking for each other,
but there is only one path
ALI BABA
In the dead of the night
Ali Baba came in
Like a thief in a jar
Where? Where?
Hush hush hush
the dark of the night
The thief is here.
Princess Princess hide your beauty
The thief in the night
Will steal your longing.
O songs of love
and songs of desire
So deep, so much I yearn
sang Ali Baba,
I long for your golden skin
that smells like cherries,
All your seven ethers
magenta to blue.
Shades of colours,
drifts of perfume,
And music of my soul, your voice,
Your voice shudders down my spine,
said Ali Baba.
Who are the dark thieves
in the jars of oil,
They cannot steal
your beauty or my longing.
And the night owl
in the garden sings
'we are each other'.
You steal my love
and I am gone for ever,
sang Ali Baba.
