Come Close To Me

COME CLOSE TO ME

You seek me outside
but I dwell within you
You think I am your other,
but I am not other than you
A believer in otherness is truly
An alien to the cult of lovers
Be careful, otherness is certainly
The essence of being cut off
See, how my pure light envelops you?
It goes off only when you shut your eyes
“Come close to me, I am your true essence"
When I love you, I lead you to myself
In yourself I meet you:
A mystery beyond reason!
No one can know me, save those
Who see meaning beyond forms
I am in love with you ever since
I created you and made you
My caliph upon the earth
Swear, "I only obey you"
I shall cloak you in my light
And shroud off your cloak of dust
With my light you shall see
Every atom is graced by me
I appear everywhere and in everything
I am beautiful and love my beauty
Through the eyes of my lovers-
Whom the dust of my worlds blinds not
