The Woman I Love
Because the Woman I love lives
Inside of
you,
I lean as close to your
body with my words
As I can--
And I think of you all
the time, dear pilgrim.
Because the One I love goes with you
Wherever you go,
Hafiz will always
be near.
If you sat before me,
wayfarer,
With your aura bright
from your many
Charms,
My lips could resist rushing to you and needing
To befriend your blushed cheek,
But my eyes can no
longer hide
The wondrous fact of who
You Really are.
The Beautiful One whom
I adore
Has pitched His royal tent
inside of you,
So I will always lean
my heart
As close to your soul
As I can.
