I Like For You To Be Still

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things
Filled with my soul
You are like my soul
A butterfly of dream
And you are like the word: Melancholy

I like for you to be still
And you seem far away
It sounds as though you are lamenting
A butterfly cooing like a dove
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not reach you
Let me come to be still in your silence
And let me talk to you with your silence
That is bright as a lamp
Simple, as a ring
You are like the night
With its stillness and constellations
Your silence is that of a star
As remote and candid

I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
Distant and full of sorrow
So you would've died
One word then, One smile is enough
And I'm happy;
Happy that it's not true

At the Twilight

At the twilight, a moon appeared in the sky; 
Then it landed on earth to look at me. 

Like a hawk stealing a bird at the time of prey; 
That moon stole me and rushed back into the sky. 

I looked at myself, I did not see me anymore; 
For in that moon, my body turned as fine as soul. 

The nine spheres disappeared in that moon; 
The ship of my existence drowned in that sea.
Rumi

Devil

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don't forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.

Like the moon

You were just like the moon,
So lonely, so full of imperfections,
But just like the moon you shine in times of darkness.

Sarah Boswell

Hope and joy

There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug.

So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of wine and milk
Besides your soft earthen mounds,

And I often sing.

But still, my dear,
You do not come out.

I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you.

We should talk about this problem--

Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.

Hafiz

What if you fly?

“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
                  -Erin Hanson

Silent cry

I am smiling at myself today
There's no wish left in this heart.
Or perhaps there is no heart left.
Free from all desire
I sit quietly like Earth.
My silent cry echoes like thunder
Through the Universe.
I am not worried about it.
I know it will be heard by no one
Except me ...

Blind man

My friend said: “This man is a wise man.” 

We approached him and I asked: “Since when are you blind?” 

“Ever since I was born.” 

“I am an astronomer,” I said. 

“So am I,” the blind man answered. And placing his hand on my chest, he said: “I spend my life observing the many suns and stars that move inside me.” 

Gibran and Haskell

             Do you not know what it is to burn and burn, and to know while burning, that you are freeing yourself from everything around you? Oh, there is no greater joy than the joy of Fire!

And now let me cry out with all the voices in me that I love you.

Kahlil

And when will You come to me in a dream and make night sweeter than night?

Haskell

I love to be silent with you, Mary.

Kahlil

Your silence will be read with your writings some day, your darkness will be part of the Light.

Haskell

Your understanding of me is the most peaceful freedom I have known. And in the last two hours of your last visit you took my heart in your hand and found a black spot in it. But just as soon as you found the spot it was erased forever, and I became absolutely chainlleds.

Khalil

Prophet

Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow

Oliver queen

Talia: “There is a monster inside you, yes, but it is not you.”

Oliver: “I don’t see the difference.”

Talia: “No, you need to create one. You need to give the monster an identity. It’s only when the monster becomes someone else, something else, that you’re free to be Oliver Queen.”

''I asked my father,
I said, "father change my name."
The one I'm using now it's covered up
with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.

He said, "I locked you in this body,
I meant it as a kind of trial.
You can use it for a weapon,
or to make some woman smile.

"Then let me start again," I cried,
"please let me start again,
I want a face that's fair this time,
I want a spirit that is calm."

L Cohen
