NaPoWriMo Day 10: An Eternal Love

This piece of poetry is inspired by my favorite writer, Rumi. As many of you know, I’m in love with Rumi’s poetry and hold him in great regard and a source of inspiration for me, so I dedicate this poem to Rumi, a dust of his mansion of poetry!

Poem: An Eternal Love (Inspired by Rumi’s poetry)

I search for Thee in the presence of Thee,

For I believe and I know,

He’s already there,

Wherever I see

–

I find Him in judgment and pride,

I see Him in reality and caprice,

I find Him glistening in stars and moon,

In Sunlight, I look out for Him

–

For the love of Thee, I love you my beloved,

For you are the conduit to immerse in Him,

I wait for the day to unite with you,

For that would be the day, to meet my Thee

–

In my heart, there’s a place sacred,

That shines and gleams with light of love,

I offer that light to you my love,

Do you see yourself there, beyond what eyes can perceive?

–

I feel His presence in the ink I write in,

Yet my words always keep scouring for Him,

Is there a pathway through these words?

Or am I failing to see His presence near me?

–

Come, and help me seek Him, my love,

My soul yearns for that eternal meet,

A glimpse of Him I feel in your embrace,

When Him, you and I become one!
