“Kiss of Solitude” (Rumi)

I want a long kiss of solitude with the friend. I have been unfaithful but I still want that beauty, what we sometimes imagine as a husband-and-wife harmony. though that has never happened even once.

Strangers meet and pass, holding out a hand to bring that one

to the center of the dance.

Each is longing to hold you naked. Absence deepens the soul.
