Desert...

"Sometimes we fall down because there is  something down there we are supposed to find..."

I fell down hard this time and the blessing is I kept my eyes open and so I saw what I was meant to find.

David told me once
"We can't go searching for love, we can only go inward and remove the barriers we have created internally to keep love out!"
For David I am blessed.

I am a desert
Parched...
It has been an age
Since I felt the rain
This self imposed exile
From love
Leaves me starved 
Come quench my thirst
Come feed my soul
Shower me with your love
I long to feel you
Beat once more 
Inside my heart
Ignite the fire
Let it burn
Let it burn....

My sweet heart,
you have aroused my passion,
your touch has filled me with desire,
I am no longer separate from you,
these are precious moments,
I beseech you,
don’t let me wait,
let me merge with you.

Oo please shahnaz love and what showering of Love... aur bi gham hain zamanay Mey muhabat k siwa.... relax and think what are we upto...what is the real meaning of our existence.. our soul... us... why have we limited ourselves to rumi... his fire and our burnings... soul has been given the body...with burning soul and cold body no balance can be achieved... being restless is JUST the begining...inner satisfaction is In balance... the real rhyme is resonance...the most difficult art whe. you yourself feel complete inwardly... a hug a kiss a longing for company is a temporary fill in vacuum...one cannot be satisfied without giving back his/ her soul the struggle to go back to its ORIGIN...love and peace

“If you were a blade of grass or a tiny flower
I will pitch my tent in your shadow.
Only your presence revives my withered heart.
You are the candle that lights the whole world
and I am an empty vessel for your light. "

AND YOU KNOW WHAT(in secrecy),THIS IS ALSO FROM "RUMI":)
