DESIRE


I sigh

Shrug my shoulders
Someone's taken those
Words out of me
They've saved my work
No need to
Make the effort
To write today
But I must restate
And clearly
Utter again
Because of you
I love you
Because of you
I love myself
....
Nice song




A lover knows only humility, he has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret,
he has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment,
he has no choice.

A lover asked his beloved:
- Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings,
but from knowing you I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.

I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.

I am your lover, come to my side,
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars.
You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you have always been connected to me.
Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest.
I am life itself.

You have been a prisoner of a little pond,
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood.
Come merge with me,
leave this world of ignorance.
Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.

I desire you more than food or drink
My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
although you belong to all the world
I wait with silent passion for one gesture one glance
from you.

Desire. That single word holds so much.

Dulce-Peep, I see these as the most true words ever 'uttered':

I love you because of you.
I love myself because of you.

What greater "love words" there might be, I do not know them, nor wish to, nor need to.

That is truly a prayer:

amor y paz!

those lyrics are WOW

Angeles said...

I love myself...I love you.
I love you...I love myself.
All we need is love.

Pd: Los textos que pongo en mi blog no son míos, son cosas que tengo guardadas y trato de poner el autor (cuando lo se)para que no haya malinterpretaciones, que no crean que soy escritora y que los autores no se enojen.
Tengo una conocida Mari Dolç, cuando la conocí me llamó la atención no es muy común el nombre Dulce, qué bueno que sea el tuyo, me gusta.
Besos:)

Ángeles, su comentario a Dulce bien traducido en mi programa ... hermoso.

En la música yo veo "Dolce", y luego debe tocar el violín con dulzura, porque eso es lo que Dulce es.

Oh, I have not heard these lyrics, but they resonate SO COMPLETELY. See you wrote for me today. This reminds me of Kahlil Gibran or Rumi...so utterly beautiful!

Love and sweet hugs, Dulce~
your humble Secretary Poetess...;)

Calli said...

...and oh, wow, I just noticed Steve used the word 'uttered'...

Silly Saturday #7 - Charm or Chores?

Sylvia said...

I must have got you wrong. Someone stole your poem?! I looked and looked and I couldn't understand. Perhaps I'm too tired. Besos. Take care, my friend!

Dulce... this is so beautiful, as though I felt I was living these words. Thank you for sharing, as always.

Unfortunately, the flip side of this is "you don't love me/ I don't love myself."
