A
lover knows only humility, he has no
choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he
has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair,
don't fret,
he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs
to break the chains of his imprisonment,
he has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved:
Do you love yourself more than you
love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself
and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my
attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a
scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your
power I am able.
I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.
I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be
neighbours to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly
drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected
to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in
the an-manifest.
I am life itself.
You have been a prisoner of a little
pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your
love.
I desire you more than food or drink
My body my senses my mind hunger for
your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion for one
gesture one glance
from you.
