Kiss by Gustav Klimt
THE COLORS OF LOVE
What is the color of love?
Red, blue, green or black…
Seasons change, Does love?
Here are some of my favourite verses on love.
Listen for the stream that tells you one thing.
Die on this bank.
Begin in me the way of rivers with the sea.
Rumi
He himself aroused longing to become mad in love.
He himself became Laila to steal Majnun's heart.
Himself He wept, himself consoled himself.
0, what a game of love He plays!
What a carefree game He plays!
Himself the lover, He himself is the Beloved.
Here logic and reason have no part to play.
Bullah rejoices in his union with the Beloved.
Why does He create separation now?
What a carefree game He plays!
Bulleh Shah
You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.
It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me.
Rumi
Longing is the core of mystery.
Longing itself brings the cure.
The only rule is, Suffer the pain.
Your desire must be disciplined,
and what you want to happen in time, sacrificed.
Rumi
