You, I Desire (By Jalaluddin Rumi) Poem by Lawrence Hiung

Show me your face, darling!
To see the rose garden-I desire.

Give me a smile, sweetheart!
To taste the sweetness of Life- I desire.

Show me your face, sunshine!
The dark clouds have wrapped me.
To see your warm and radiant face - I desire.

In your voice and fragrance
I hear liberating music.
I come to you always
for your bosom and arms- I desire.

Sometimes you say,
'Enough, leave me alone now.'
Even when you say that.
to hear your voice- I desire.
