In love
Hearts merge

Souls soar
Minds lose themselves

Speech becomes longings

We cannot tell what love is
We feel it

The one who feels
Knows

The one who says he knows
Knows nothing of it

You cannot put
Form on a feeling to describe it

Love is like God
Formless

To feel, to be bound, to loose freedom
To be attracted, attached and become mindless.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Reality

In love, nothing exists between heart and heart.
Speech is born out of longing,
True description from the real taste.
The one who tastes, knows;
the one who explains, lies.
How can you describe the true form of Something
In whose presence you are blotted out?
And in whose being you still exist?
And who lives as a sign for your journey?

-Rabia al-Basri
(717-801 A.D.)
