what was said to the rose ~ rumi

What Was Said to the Rose

What was said to the rose that made it open
was said to me here in my chest.

What was told the Cypress that made it strong
and straight, what was

whispered the jasmine so it is what it is, whatever made
sugarcane sweet, whatever

was said to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil in
Turkestan that makes them

so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush
like a human face, that is

being said to me now. I blush. Whatever put eloquence in
language, that's happening here.

The great warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,
chewing a piece of sugarcane,

in love with the one to whom every that belongs!

Poem by Jalaluddin Rumi,
translation ©2005 — Coleman Barks

star killer drink with me

if i open my mouth wide you can peer in

to see where stars are born.

sometimes they pour out,

flailing arms flaming with abandon.

would you open yours and drink them in?

will you pour water down my throat to quench them?

Opposites Attract

I'm the red balloon need an anchor.

I am the dance and he is the stage.

He uplifts me. He is foundation

Woman not Womyn

i am a woman. not a womyn. 

there is no shame in bearing his title within mine. 
be i his rib, or he the fruit of my womb. 
we are connected and beautiful.
