136.I can’t be without you _ Rumi

I can be without anyone

but not without you.
You twist my heart, dwell in my mind
and fill my eyes, you are my joy
I can’t be without you.
You are my sleep, my rest, the water I drink.
You are my clarity, my dignity, my world
I can’t be without you.
Sometimes you are kind, sometimes unfaithful,
you break my heart but
my love, my essence, do not go away
I can’t be without you.
You are the head I am the feet
you are the hand, I am your banner
if you leave, I will perish
I can’t be without you.
You have erased my image, taken my sleep
you’ve torn me away from everybody but
I can’t be without you.
I find no joy in life or relief in death.
Why don’t you say it too
I can’t be without you….

  1. Rumí is one of my favorite poets. 5 years ago I started writing poems and its influence was vital to my style. His poems are a song to pure love. Like “I can’t be without you”.
    It was an excellent choice to be at your blog. The image gives a special frame to the poem.
    Thanks for sharing the poetry.
