I Am | Rumi

Though i am in this hell and fire i'm filled with honey and nectar.

i am

the minstrel of

eternal love

and will play

the song of happiness

when my soul

hears music

and changes to softness

i'll break open

the wine jar's seal

i am in love

with the temple of fire

because i was born

as the prophet

named Khalili Abraham

i am in love

with soul and

wisdom

i am the enemy

of false images

the spring is arriving

it is high time

for action

for the sun and Aries

to get together

my blood is boiling

my heart is on fire and

the winter snow

is melting away

from my body

someone's love

is knocking me out

and pulling me

after itself

very forcefully

though i am

in this

hell and fire

i'm filled with

honey and nectar

though i am

condemned to take

this journey

i'm filled with

the sweetness of going home

now the time has come

my sweetheart

kindly express

what my tongue

can never describe
