Now that I have found you
In the cool breath of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though I drink at your pool
I burn for you, I burn for...
You and I are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, I burn for...
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though I lie here so still
I burn for you, I burn for you
I burn...
~ Sting
What is the emptiness that I sense tonight?
I am burning for something I cannot quite understand or name.
A quiet and empty space that is reserved for the Lover.
Yes, there is a vacancy in my heart.
A reservation held for my Lover.
The Triune of Love...God, Self and Lover
swirling in this honeymoon of life.
Sometimes I wonder,
Where this path will lead,
This untethered, yet deeply rooted, journey into Love.
I have left the old reality...
of husband, career, and family behind...
for the uncharted terrain of my soul's path...
of lover, offering and community.
I belong in the emptiness
I can feel the space inside me that
is available for union
Blessed union with another
I have kept this place Sacred
It has been untouched
Reserved, preserved
for the right time and right place
The Divine Wills this into being
He will arrive when the fruit is sweet
and the vines are dancing in my hair.
He will make his entry into this space
within me...
I can feel him near
I can remember his breath
I know the scent of him
The touch of him
The taste of him
I remember Love
I remember this Union
God's Lovers
will find one another
in the midnight sky
dancing in the meadows
making love amidst the trees
Yes, I feel the emptiness
I remember you my Love
I know your wildness
Come let us remember
this love and this living together.
Still and silent tonight.
I praise the untouched innocence.
The sacred space reserved for you.
I will love you forever.
Lover and Beloved, eternally one.

My beloved teacher.....there are no words only feelings that can describe the way your music (poetry) touches my heart and the inner most spot in my soul!!!!I love you and all that you are...we are...you are...I am!!!!You touch my life delicately and with pure grace!!!!!!!Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
My God, who ARE you! Rumi and the Eros-Agape or our Source/Original Face has reincarnated in you.
The words in your two poems - "Love is Growing & "I Burn..." - are...well, beyond words. They evoke and awaken deep intrinsic yearning and longing in the bone marrow of soul, so sweet, ... yet mixed with melancoly, ...which, ugg, I must now again (permeably) cover up in "order" to function in this world of stuff, stuff, stuff...
Perhaps this brief reply is my way of standng present to and honoring both/all worlds, ...of stuff and sprit - really one.
The erotic continuum of Life is actually everywhere -- like the life sap in the tree is in its leafs, branches and roots.
