Ever drunk with love

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

Caught by our own thoughts,
we worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

Rumi

    let me add what I have by Rumi on this subject. Hope you don’t mind other’s adding to this site 🙂

    I am hopelessly in love with you,
    no point giving me advice.
    I have drunk love’s poison,
    no point taking any remedy.
    They want to chain my feet
    but
    it is my heart that has gone mad.
