A Great Need

Out
Of a great need
We are all holding hands
And climbing.
Not loving is a letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For
That.

Hello everyone, may I ask for your favourite poems on music ( Read more... )

Find that flame, that existence,
That Wonderful Man
Who can burn beneath the water.
No other kind of light
Will cook the food you
Need.

~Hafiz

Good Poetry makes
The universe
Admit a secret:

"I am really just
A tambourine,
Grab hold,
Play me against
Your warm
thigh."

Where we live

Is no place to lose your wings

So love, love

First time posting here but I just wanted to share my favorite poem ever.

"THE SUN NEVER SAYS" by Hafiz
(Translated by Daniel Ladinsky)

Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."

Look what happens with a love like that --
it lights the whole world.

Damn Thirsty

First
The fish needs to say,

"Something ain't right about this
Camel ride -

And I'm
Feeling so damn

Thirsty."

-Hafiz
