The Empty Whole
Written a few days ago... I forgot to note down the date. And though I'd intended to have this post up earlier, I was apprehensive and unsure if it was the most clever thing to do on Earth or not. Finally, I'm convinced. All for the best. One day, many millennia from now, someone will read it and be thankful for the joy. His friend would weep

Though at the time I was writing the pome, the thought that filled me was one of apprehensive exploration, visiting a part of myself that I'd not known even existed before.
Suddenly, light shines upon me, breaking through the dense clouds. A new day arises each time I blink, and yet there's a chance that I fool myself. :)
A great Sufi Saint said once tere ishq nachaya... this is what im reminded of when reading your pome.
Do you have a copy or a gist that you could share with me sometime, I'd like to check it out sometime. :)

Compelled by love, I dance, I dance.
This love has set up camp inside me.
It is I, who filled the cup with this poison and drank it.
Come back, my forsaken, else, I will surely die.
Compelled by love, I dance, I dance.
The sun has set, its glow remains.
Grant me a sight of you again! I would die for it!
What a mistake I made, not going with you.
Compelled by love I dance, I dance.
Mother do not bar me from this love.
Whoever turns back unloaded boats that have left?
How foolish I was, not going with the boatman.
Compelled by love I dance, I dance.
Peacocks sing in the groves of love.
My beautiful beloved is my Ka’ba, my Qibla.
He injured me, then turned away.
Compelled by love I dance, I dance.
Bullhe Shah, I sit at Inayat’s door,
He clothed me in robes of green and red.
When I stamped my heel, I found him.
Compelled by love I dance, I dance.
Remind me to make you listen to the song, next time we chat.

Ah, sepiaverse who commented soon after you below already sent me 4 renditions of the song. Would have checked it out abhi tak.. It's just that Gmail's not opening up on my laptop today for some odd reason. :(
But many thanks for the offer. :)
