I was listening to a CD called Buddha Bar yesterday. The words from a particular song really has stuck in my head, and my heart too..
A lover knows only humility
He has no choice.
He steals into your alley at night
He has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, dont fret
He has no choice.
In his frenzied love for you he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment.
He has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved
Do you love yourself more than you love me?
Beloved replied
I have died to myself and I live for you
I have disappeared from myself and my attributes
I am present only for you
I have forgotten all my learnings
But from knowing you I have become a scolar
I have lost all my strength
But from your power I am able
I love myself, I love you
I love you, I love myself.
I am your lover
Come to my side I will open the gate to your love
Come settle with me
Let us be neighbours
You have been hiding so long endlessly drifting in the sea of my love
Even though you have always been connected to me
Conceled
revealed
in the known
in the unmanifest
I am life itself
You have been a prisoner of little pond
I am the ocean and its turbulent flood
Come merge with me
Leave this world of ignorance be with me
I will open the gate to your love
I desire you more than food or drink
My body, my senses, my mind
hunger for your taste
I can sense your presence in my heart
Although you belong to all the world
I make this silent passion for one gesture, one glance, from you.
