I THREATENED THIS and now I am doing it, Rumi poems as #TheUntamed gifs, buckle the fuck in to have your heart broken

all Rumi quotes are from the 2020 translation by Geoffrey Squires

IN THIS HOUSE WE HAVE NO TRUCK WITH COLEMAN BARKS

"he who slipped through my hands
the one to whom my heart is prisoner
if I have to spend the rest of my life
I will get him back again"

"whoever speaks of the moon
climb up on the roof and say
like this"

"how could anyone renounce you for the sake of his own head"

"come down from the sky of the heart O moon
and turn our night into day
so that no traveller may say
this is a moonless night"

"for your sake I have put up with wounding tongues
I have listened to burning taunts
and been pierced by arrows from those self-same bows"

"the tip of his hair says here
do the rope-trick climb
and the smile of his candle asks
where is the moth then"

"who could weary of you or have enough
you are that breath of which God said
it will revive the dead"

"under night's veil delicately
the thief finds a clever way
to scale the roof of the house of mystery"

I AM SORRY ABOUT THIS ONE

"he is a jewel of grace in that placeless place
from him comes a sign to the heart like two tear-drops falling"

these next two are from the same poem, which has clearly been written to hurt me

"he said you have become a candle
the whole focus of this assembly
but I am not part of this gathering
I am nothing but wisps of smoke
that rise from its burning"

"and ancient love said to me
stay here close to my breast
I agreed and will remain
here in this place steadfast"

SORRY SORRY SORRY, don't blame me, blame #TheUntamed

"the mind cannot grasp or describe it
for it involves a union of opposites"

"Of all the world I have chosen you alone
so it is right that I should sit here grieving"

you die and behold the world of the soul
and if afterwards you come back to life
you understand what it is to live then

"bring me jugs of wine
in such measure
that I may lose myself
for in being and selfhood I have known only fatigue"

"he is my soul do not touch him"

"dead or alive wherever you are I am too
without your breath I am a lifeless silent flute"

"believe in him who has believed in you
hold firm
for he is both the beginning and the end

find him"

okay I am stopping now

but just know that I have an entire book of Hafez that I haven't gone through yet
