Some Kiss We Want

There is some kiss we want with
our whole lives, the touch of

spirit on the body, Seawater
begs the pearl to break its shell

And the lilly, how passionately 
it needs some wild darling! At

night, I open the window and ask
the moon to come and press its

face against mine. Breathe
into me. Close the language door and

open the love window. The moon
won't use the door, only the window.

Rumi, from The Soul of Rumi
