This is how it always is when I finish a poem. A great silence overcomes me and I wonder why I ever thought to use language.

More quotes by Rumi
Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody.
Rumi
And patience flees my heart, And reason flees my mind. Oh, how drunk can I get to be, Without your love's security?
Rumi
Soul of all souls, life of all life - you are That. Seen and unseen, moving and unmoving - you are That. The road that leads to the City is endless Go without head and feet and you'll already be there. What else could you be? - you are That.
Rumi
Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.
Rumi
A SEEING eye is better than three hundred blind men's: The eye can distinguish pearls from pebbles.
Rumi
Innumerable changes of moods are yours, and they are uncontrolled by you. If you knew their origin, you would be able to dominate them. If you cannot localize your own changes, how can you localize that which formed you?
Rumi
Let your throat-song be clear and strong enough to make an emperor fall full-length suppliant, at the door.
Rumi
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.
Rumi
I Wish I Could Give You A Taste Of The Burning Fire Of Love. There Is A Fire Blazing Inside Of Me. If I Cry About It, Or If I Don’t, The Fire Is At Work, Night And Day.
Rumi
Darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes but it cannot hide love from the soul.
Rumi
You try to be faithful And sometimes you're cruel. You are mine. Then, you leave. Without you, I can't cope. And when you take the lead, I become your footstep. Your absence leaves a void. Without you, I can't cope. You have disturbed my sleep, You have wrecked my image. You have set me apart. Without you, I can't cope.
Rumi
My heart is so small it's almost invisible. How can You place such big sorrows in it? Look, He answered, your eyes are even smaller, yet they behold the world.
Rumi
Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening.
Rumi
Everything in the universe is a pitcher brimming with wisdom and beauty.
Rumi
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
Rumi
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
Rumi
Because I cannot sleep I make music at night.
Rumi
What was said to the rose that made it open, was said to me, here in my chest.
Rumi
The Past, the Future, O dear, is from you you should regard both these as one.
Rumi
Concentrate on the Essence, concentrate on the Light.
Rumi
