Oh, [name withheld to protect the completely not innocent]! You quoted Rumi on your [livejournal.com profile] less_for_you fic! I think I'm kind of in love with you right now.

---

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

---

There is a candle in your heart,
ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul,
ready to be filled.
You feel it, don’t you?
You feel the separation
from the Beloved.
Invite Him to fill you up,
embrace the fire.
Remind those who tell you otherwise that
Love
comes to you of its own accord,
and the yearning for it
cannot be learned in any school.

---

Like the shadow of a cypress tree in the medow,
like the shadow of a rose, I live
close to the rose.

If I separated myself from you,
I would turn entirely thorn.

---

The stars come up spinning
every night, bewildered in love.
They'd grow tired
with that revolving, if they weren't.
They'd say,
"How long do we have to do this!"

---

love's message came to me this morning
hiding itself as a healer
taking my pulse and declaring i'm weak

"don't drink wine
given by anyone
but your beloved"

if i can only find i said
the fountainhead named love
what use is any wine

---

how long can i
beg and bargain
for the things of this world
while love is waiting

how long before
i can rise beyond
how i am and
what i am

---

Oh, and the fic did marvellous things to my heart-rate, too. ;) I'm trembling and biting my lip and my fingers. Really.
