I’ll come back through the roof hole...by Rumi

How can I find
anywhere in this world
a more beautiful face
a more desired beloved
even the moon
is seeking for this love
to see it’s reflection
to find it’s adornment
if I ever talk about
going to travel
or leaving this town
break my teeth with no qualms
I’ve lost my feet
going to the sea of love
but like a boat
i need no feet to crawl
and even if you
throw me out of your door
i’ll come back
through the roof hole
because of your love
I’ll be dancing and floating
in this air as a speck of dust
to finally settle in your house
~ Rumi
