The Way Of Your Love...


At first,

the way of your love

seemed easy.



I thought

I'd reach your union

with speed.



After taking a few steps,

I found the way

is an ocean.



When I stepped in,

a wave swept me

away. . .



~ Hamid al-Din Kirmani (13th Century)

  1. I was already suffering. You have added salt to the wounds. And the fun is you are left asking for more. Because of this salt only, there is taste in life.
