More Hafiz

God said,

"I am made whole by your life.
Each soul,
each soul completes
me."

The Christ's Breath

I am
a hole in a flute
that the Christ's breath moves
through,
listen to this
music.

One Regret

One regret that
I am determined
not to have
When I am lying upon my
death bed

Is that we did not kiss
enough.


The Woman I Love

Because the woman I love
lives inside of you,

I lean as close to your
body with my words as I can -
and I think of you all the
time,
dear pilgrim.

Because the One I love
goes with you
wherever you go,
Hafiz will always be
near.

If you sat before me, wayfarer,
with your aura bright from your many charms,
my lips could resist
rushing to you,
but my eyes, my eyes
can no longer hide
the wondrous fact of who
you really are.

The Beautiful One whom I adore
has pitched His royal tent
inside you,
so I will always lean my heart
as close to your soul
as I can.

***Hafiz really makes me laugh sometimes - he is so cheeky. See his poems below:

A Potent Lover

The sun and the moon shiver
When I drop my pants.
Beware
Of this potent
Lover.

I Am Really Just a Tambourine

Good
Poetry
Makes the universe admit a
secret:
"I am
Really just a tambourine,
Grab hold,
Play me
Against your warm
Thigh."
