The Subject Tonight Is Love


The subject tonight is Love
And for tomorrow night as well,
As a matter of fact
I know of no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all
Die!

                                                                                         ~Hafiz

The story of the poet Hafiz who lived in Iran is adoringly described on another blog site. The poet's muse was a ravishingly  beautiful woman whose name was Shakh-e-Nabat  (meaning ‘Branch of Sugarcane’). 

    The shape of this poem on the page reminds me of a Valentine heart.  The message is universal. Love shapes our days and nights.  Speak about love, every chance you get. Our heart is made sweeter with love.
