Love- post a love poem :)

[Guest Love]

Who is at my door?

 

He said, "Who is at my door?"
I said, "Your humble servant."
He said, "What business do you have?"
I said, "To greet you, 0 Lord."

He said, "How long will you journey on?"
I said, "Until you stop me."
He said, "How long will you boil in the fire?"
I said, "Until I am pure.

"This is my oath of love.
For the sake of love
I gave up wealth and position."

He said, "You have pleaded your case
but you have no witness."
I said, "My tears are my witness;
the pallor of my face is my proof.'
He said, "Your witness has no credibility;
your eyes are too wet to see."
I said, "By the splendor of your justice
my eyes are clear and faultless."

He said, "What do you seek?"
I said, "To have you as my constant friend."
He said, "What do you want from me?"
I said, "Your abundant grace."

He said, "Who was your companion on the 'ourney?
I said, "The thought of you, 0 King."
He said, "What called you here?"
I said, "The fragrance of your wine."

He said, "What brings you the most fulfillment?"
I said, "The company of the Emperor."
He said, "What do you find there?"
I said, "A hundred miracles."
He said, "Why is the palace deserted?"
I said, "They all fear the thief."
He said, "Who is the thief?"
I said, "The one who keeps me from -you. 

He said, "Where is there safety?"
I said, "In service and renunciation."
He said, "What is there to renounce?"
I said, "The hope of salvation."

He said, "Where is there calamity?"
I said, "In the presence of your love."
He said, "How do you benefit from this life?"
I said, "By keeping true to myself

Now it is time for silence.
If I told you about His true essence
You would fly from your self and be gone,
and neither door nor roof could hold you back!

"The preacher is pious only because he's terrified of hell, Lord. Whereas me, I sinned freely, trusting in your mercy"

Has God got himself lost that you go searching for him everywhere?

Trust me, the angels will ask the pious on judgement day: "Why didn’t you sin? Didn’t you trust in God’s mercy?

" I met my beloved in a dream And locked my arms around his neck. Now I don't dare open my eyes For fear we'll be separated again"

I gave my heart; that was the height of love. I put my life in her hands; that was the height of trust. I died, but my eyes refused to close. That was the height of waiting

 "When the Beloved serves you a drink with their own hands Alcohol it no longer remains Haram "

[puzzled]

"Even if he sends me to hell, I will still be grateful,
Since we punish only those who we count as our own"

"You showed your beauty to the whole world. 
When it was my turn, you let the curtain fall.
It was my misfortune, that I could not reach this rest.
I could only reach her door, I could not reach her heart."

mayday mayday I'm falling

each day I wake up earlier,

just to fall,

going nowhere,

falling in love

just sitting here, I am flying through space

falling
