Quotes added by The Persian Courtesan Erotica Unleashed!

There is a void in your soul,
      ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
You feel the separation
      from the Beloved.
Invite Him to fill you up,
      embrace the fire.

I was dead, then alive.
Weeping, then laughing.

The power of love came into me,
and I became fierce like a lion,
then tender like the evening star.

Be with those who help your being.
Don't sit with indifferent people, whose breath
comes cold out of their mouths.

There are thousands of wines
that can take over our minds.

Don't think all ecstasies
are the same!

Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky,
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.

One day You will take
my heart completely
and make it more fiery
than a dragon. Your
eyelashes will write on
my heart the poem
that could never come
from the pen of a poet.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don't go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep.

Quote

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,
free of mountainous wanting.
