Intoxicated By Love


Because of your love
I have lost my sobriety.
I am intoxicated
By the madness of Love.

In this fog
I have become a stranger to myself.
I am so drunk
I have lost my way to my house.

In the garden
I see only your face.
From the trees and blossoms
I inhale only your fragrance.

Drunk with the ecstasy of love
I can no longer tell the difference
Between drunkard and drink,
Between Lover and Beloved.


~ Rumi
