A lover knows only humility;
he has no choice.
He steals into your allay at night;
he has no choice.
He longs to kiss every lock of your hair;
don't fret, he has no choice.
In his frenzy love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment;
he has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved "Do you love yourself more than you love me?"
His beloved replied "I've died to myself and I live for you.
I've disappeared from myself and my attributes.
I'm present only for you.
I've forgotten all my learnings but from knowing you, I've become a scholar.
I've lost all my strength but from your power, I'm able.
I love myself; I love you.
I love you; I love myself."
I am your lover, come to my side;
I will open the gate to your love.
Come settle with me;
let us be neighbours in the stars.
You have been hiding so long;
endlessly drifting in the sea of my love.
Even so, you've always been connected to me;
Concealed, revealed, in the knowing, in the unmanifest.
I'm life itself;
You've been a prisoner of a little pond.
I'm the ocean and its turbulent flood;
Come merge with me.
Leave this world of ignorance;
be with me.
I will open the gate to your love;
I desire you more than food or drink,
My body, my senses, my mind hunger for your taste;
I can sense your presence in my heart;
although you belong to all the world.
I wait for your silent passion;
one gesture...
one glance... from you.
- The above lyrics were taken from Buddha Bar II-Dinner 2. Just wanted to share the words and feelings of lovers. If you do come across this CD, do get it.
