Omar Khayyam:

O friend, for the morrow let us not worry
This moment we have now, let us not hurry
When our time comes, we shall not tarry
With seven thousand-year-olds, our burden carry.

Dedicated to the Irish Queen.

Her Celtic Eyes

Across a crowded room he saw the beauty of her Celtic eyes,
Yearning and burning with passion needing him much,
They came together staring with their sighs,
Unbridled their lips come to touch.

Rumi

Every morning, play your organon, like this!Yes, my beauty! like this, like this!
Leave your harp next to Venus, O my moon!enter, stamping your feet joyfully, like this!
When the crowd asks for fragrant musk;Untie your hair [in a dance], like this.
If the firmament turns against your will, for one instance;
It is the day of assembly, O love hold my hand!
And guide me to the royal celebration, like this.

(Divan 1953:3-6)

You are lovely

I'm in awe because you are lovely,
Your beauty transcends time and space,
I bow down to the vision that I see,
When taking a look at your face.

A poem by - Sri Chinmoy

A moment's truth
Can and shall make the world beautiful.
A moment's peace
Can and shall save the world.
A moment's love
Can and shall make the world perfect.

Omar Khayyam:

In childhood we strove to go to school,
Our turn to teach, joyous as a rule
The end of the story is sad and cruel
From dust we came, and gone with winds cool.

Two line Poem

This is the end I've reached before
What new adventures lie in store ?

Omar Khayyam:

At dawn came a calling from the tavern
Hark drunken mad man of the cavern
Arise; let us fill with wine one more turn
Before destiny fills our cup, our urn.

Omar Khayyam:

If my coming were up to me, I’d never be born
And if my going were on my accord, I’d go with scorn
Isn’t it better that in this world, so old and worn
Never to be born, neither stay, nor be away torn?

A sea of faces, without a soul,
And even though the din was loud,
I heard my heart's crescendo toll.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to see your post, and thank you for the compliment. I do not put a name to my own.
