Life and Death

2007/09/26,10:23

A master piece by Rumi, nothing to add from my side. The full poem is at http://www.khamush.com/life&death.htm. Thanks to Rumi and to the website.

come on sweetheart
let's adore one another
before there is no more
of you and me

a mirror tells the truth
look at your grim face
brighten up and cast away
your bitter smile

once you think of me
dead and gone
you will make up with me
you will miss me
you may even adore me

why be a worshiper of the dead
think of me as a goner
come and make up now

since you will come
and throw kisses
at my tombstone later
why not give them to me now
this is me
that same person
