TAKE ME

Don’t wish for union!
There’s a closeness beyond that…
Fall in love in such a way
that it frees you from any connecting.
Love is the soul’s light, the taste of morning;
no me, no we, no claim of being…
As eyes in silence, tears, face:
love cannot be said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Oh Beloved,
take me.
Liberate my soul.
Fill me with your love and
release me from the two worlds.
If I set my heart on anything but you
let fire burn me from inside.
Oh Beloved,
take away what I want.
Take away what I do.
Take away what I need.
Take away everything
that takes me from you.”
