when i play with you, my love
i understand why there is such a play
of colours on clouds, on water,
and why flowers are painted in tints.
when i sing to make you dance
i know why there is music in leaves,
and why waves send their chorus of voices
to the heart of the listening earth.
when you whisper sweet things to me,
i know why there is honey in the cup of the flower,
and why fruits are secretly filled
with sweet juice.
when i kiss your face to make you smile,
i understand what pleasure streams from the sky
in the morning light,
and what delight the summer breeze brings to my body
and i kiss to make you smile.
- Rumi
