Make Rumi for Me





I’m not asking for much, really, 
Just everything.
All of it.
I want the music, the laughter, the tears,
The front row seat
And the starring role,
The feast assembled on the blanket
Spread out under the oak tree.
                                   
And I hope you don’t mind,
But would you please
Take my hand and lead me
Where no one else
 Has gone before?

And while you’re at it,
Speak softly in my ear
Words of love only I understand.
Our private Esperanto.

And in the garden
Overflowing with roses, laden with fruit,
Make love to me.
Make Rumi for me.
