In the 13th century Persian poet Rumi (named after the city where he lived) composed works of mysticism and desire that inspired countless people in his own time and throughout the centuries. His poems expressed the deepest longings of the human heart for its beloved, for that transcendent intimacy which is the source of the divine. Deepak ChopraContemporary spiritualist Deepak Chopra got inspired by Rumi's Love Poems and asked several celebrities to read them to music. Among them are Demi Moore, Goldie Hawn, Martin Sheen, Debra Winger and of course Madonna. Madonna choose the poem Bittersweet.
****** My heart is burning with love All can see this flame My heart is pulsing with passion like waves on an ocean
My friends have become strangers and I’m surrounded by enemies But I’m free as the wind no longer hurt by those who reproach me
I’m at home wherever I am And in the room of lovers I can see with closed eyes the beauty that dances
Behind the veils intoxicated with love I too dance the rhythm of this moving world I have lost my senses in my world of lovers
*****
In my hallucination I saw my Beloved's flower garden In my vertigo In my dizziness In my drunken haze Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence I was there in the beginning And I was the Spirit of Love Now I am sober There is only the hangover And the memory of love And only the sorrow I yearn for happiness I ask for help I want mercy
And my Love says "Look at me and hear me Because I am here just with that"
I am your moon and your moonlight too I am your flower garden and your water too I have come all this way eager for you Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh To kill all your worries To love you To nourish you
Oh the sweet bitterness I will soothe you and heal you I will bring you roses I too have been covered with thorns
