vipul20044 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 Alas, I thought I knew so muchOf love, and yet I know so little!Love is always patient and kindit is never jealous; love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish;it does not take offense, and is not resentful.Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth;it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.Love does not come to an end.And if my homage she'd receiveMy wooing and my service true--The sleepless nights I have been throughThe grief I bear from morn till eve,Could never take me from her sight;I'd be a slave unto delight,All burdens I would gladly bearAnd for my heart's grief I'd not careAn eye is meant to see things,The soul is here for its own joy.A head has one use: for loving a true loveLegs: to run after.Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,for learning what men have done and tried to do.Mysteries are not to be solved. The eye goes blindwhen it only wants to see whyA lover is always accused of something.But when he finds his love, whatever was lostin the looking comes back completely changedOn the way to Mecca, many dangers: thieves,the blowing sand, only camel's milk to drink.Still each pilgrim kisses the black stone therewith pure longing, feeling in the surfacethe taste of the lips he wants.This talk is like stamping new coins. They pile up,while the real work is done outsideby someone digging in the ground.Love is a weapon of matchless potencyIt is the "summum bonum" of Life.It is an attribute of the brave, in fact it is their all.It does not come within the reach of the coward.It is no wooden or lifeless dogma but a living and life-giving force.It is the special attribute of the heart.Love courses through everythingNo, Love is everything.How can you say, there is no lovewhen nothing but Love exists?All that you see has appeared because of Love.All shines from LoveAll pulses with Love,All flows from Love--No, once again all is Love!

thejestergl 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 Well technically he did quote it so it wasn't like he intended it to be shown as his work. It is still a nice poem and I'm glad that he shared it with us! Though I would really like to hear some original work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
