My name is Shams.
I have come again to this world
of flesh and bones,
of pain and joy
and bliss and sorrow.
I have come again
to love
and be loved,
to love the world awake,
to make love with
all beings and all things...
I have come again
to pierce this infinite Moment
with the Sun's eternal radiance.
Wake up, my love.
It is morning.
Wake from your dream.
The Sun is here.
Open yourself.
I have come
to pierce you through with light.
Together, we surrender.

Two kinds of love stories
There are two kinds of love stories...
boy loses girl,
and girl loses boy.
Someone always dies first.
This will all pass.
And in the end,
you must give up
everything you love.
Only love is eternal,
God circling back upon itself;
your eye mirrored
in the eye of your Lover,
eye looking at eye looking at eye...
Immersed in the ocean of Self.
--
Love now, without reservation.
Live with an open heart
This is your chance!
Do it now!
Don't waste this life.
It won't come again.
Yes, your heart will break.
I promise you, it will.
Yes, yes, yes.
That is the price of living.
The entry fee to this world
where love can be had
for those willing to pay
the heart-price.
Don't be stingy with
the only coin you have.
There is only one thing
you can buy with it.
Spend it now.
The baby's wail is the cry
of the broken heart
giving up the presence of God.
When lovers cry,
it is the same.
Why does your heart burn?
Life is a broken heart seeking itself.
Do you want to see God?
Look into the eye of your lover.
You will
one day
return.
--
Cling only to God,
But love like love is
your reason for being.
It is.
Love is the God
we see in
each other.
Cling to that love,
not to the other.
