My heart is burning with love
All can see this flame
My heart is pulsing with passion
like waves on an ocean

My friends have [bad word] strangers
and I’m surrounded by enemies
But I’m free as the wind
no longer hurt by those who reproach me

I’m at home wherever I am
And in the room of lovers
I can see with closed eyes
the beauty that dances

Behind the veils
intoxicated with love
I too dance the rhythm
of this moving world
I have lost my senses
in my world of lovers

*****

In my hallucination
I saw my Beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo
In my dizziness
In my [bad word] haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel

I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the Spirit of Love
Now I am sober 
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy

And my Love says
"Look at me and hear me
Because I am here just with that"

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I [bad word] all this way eager for you
Without shoes or shawl

I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you

Oh the sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns
