This piece of poetry is inspired by my favorite writer, Rumi. As many of you know, I’m in love with Rumi’s poetry and hold him in great regard and a source of inspiration for me, so I dedicate this poem to Rumi, a dust of his mansion of poetry!

Poem: An Eternal Love (Inspired by Rumi’s poetry)

I search for Thee in the presence of Thee,

For I believe and I know,

He’s already there,

Wherever I see

–

I find Him in judgment and pride,

I see Him in reality and caprice,

I find Him glistening in stars and moon,

In Sunlight, I look out for Him

–

For the love of Thee, I love you my beloved,

For you are the conduit to immerse in Him,

I wait for the day to unite with you,

For that would be the day, to meet my Thee

–

In my heart, there’s a place sacred,

That shines and gleams with light of love,

I offer that light to you my love,

Do you see yourself there, beyond what eyes can perceive?

–

I feel His presence in the ink I write in,

Yet my words always keep scouring for Him,

Is there a pathway through these words?

Or am I failing to see His presence near me?

–

Come, and help me seek Him, my love,

My soul yearns for that eternal meet,

A glimpse of Him I feel in your embrace,

When Him, you and I become one!
