Ruby's Arms (Redux)

I will leave behind all of my clothes, i wore when i was with you, all i

need's my railroad boots, and my leather jacket, as i say goodbye to ruby's

arms, although my heart is breaking, i will steal away out through your

blinds, for soon you will be waking.

the morning light has washed your face, and everything is turning blue now,

hold on to your pillow case there's nothing i can do now, as i say goodbye to

ruby's arms, you'll find another soldier, and i swear to god by christmas,

there'll be someone else to hold you.

the only thing i'm taking is the scarf off of your clothesline, i'll hurry

past your chest of drawers, and your broken wind chimes, as i say goodbye

i'll say goodbye, say goodbye to ruby's arms.

i'll feel my way down the darken hall, and out into the morning, the hobos

at the freightyards, have kept their fires burning, so this

goddamn rain, will someone put me on a train, i'll never kiss your lips again,

or break your heart, as i say goodbye i'll say goodbye, say goodbye to ruby's

arms.

How Can I Tell You

Cat Stevens.

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you

But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you

I'm always thinking of you, but my words

Just blow away, just blow away

It always ends up to one thing, honey

And I can't think of right words to say

Wherever I am, I'm always walking with you

I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there

Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you

I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that

You can't hear, sad that you can't hear

It always ends up to one thing, honey,

When I look and you're not there

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you

Feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore

And - each night and day I pray, in hope

That I might find you, in hope that I might

Find you, because heart's can do no more

It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you

But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you

I'm always thinking of you....

It always ends up to one thing honey

And I can't think of right words to say

It's Only Words, but words are all i have

Ev'rything we are will never die

Oh you make my world.. a summer day

Are you just a dream to fade away...

The soul is here for its own joy.

A head has one use: For loving a true love.

Feet: To chase after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,

for learning what men have done and tried to do.

Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind

when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.

But when he finds his love, whatever was lost

in the looking comes back completely changed.”

― Rumi, Night and Sleep

“You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!” ― Rumi

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
― Rumi

In A Tree House Poem by Hafiz

Light
Will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage,

For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
Is hidden and sown on an ancient fertile plain
You hold the title to.

Love will surely bust you wide open
Into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

Even if your mind is now
A spoiled mule.

A life giving radiance will come,
The Friend's gratuity will come -

O look again within yourself,
For I know you were once the elegant host
To all the marvels in creation.

From a sacred crevice in your body
A bow rises each night
And shoots your soul into God.

Behold the Beautiful Drunk Singing One
From the lunar vantage point of love.

He is conducting the affairs
Of the whole universe

While throwing wild parties
In a tree house - on a limb
In your heart.
