here is a smile and a gentleness





There is a smile and a gentleness
inside. When I learned the name
 
and address of that, I went to where
you sell perfume. I begged you not
 
to trouble me so with longing. Come
out and play! Flirt more naturally.
 
Teach me how to kiss. On the ground
a spread blanket, flame that's caught
 
and burning well, cumin seeds browning,
I am inside all of this with my soul.
 
 
 
 
~ Rumi
