Dear Friend, let me plunge in the sea of love, <br />Let me sink into that sea and walk on. <br />Let both worlds become my sphere where I can <br />Delight in the mystic glee and walk on. <br /> <br />Let me become the nightingale that sings <br />A soul freed from the dead body's yearnings; <br />Let me bury my head in my two Hands, <br />Take the path to unity and walk on. <br /> <br /> <br />Thank heaven, I saw the Friend's lovely face <br />And drank the wine of the lovers embrace. <br />It severs me from you-it's a disgrace <br />I'll abandon this city and walk on. <br /> <br /> <br />Yunus drifts in the throes of love's torture: <br />Of all woes, his is the worst to endure. <br />For my distress only you hold the cure, <br />I,11 ash for that remedy and walk on.<br /><br />Yunus Emre<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dear-friend-let-me-plunge-in-the-sea-of-love/
