I WANT TO SEE YOU by Rumi


Today is the International Poetry day, so I would like to share a beautiful poem by RUMI. 
Rumi was a Persian poet from the 13th century, many times described as the most popular poet of all times…

He was not only a poet but also a jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian a Sufi and mystic. His poetry and work influenced literature and philosophical thinking…

Here one of his beautiful poems…


I want to see you.

Know your voice.

Recognize you when you
first come 'round the corner.

Sense your scent when I come 
into a room you've just left.

Know the lift of your heel,
the glide of your foot.

Become familiar with the way 
you purse your lips
then let them part, 
just the slightest bit,
when I lean in to your space
and kiss you.

I want to know the joy 
of how you whisper 
"more” 

RUMI
