Salvation of the True Rock: Tease

Tease

On this day when my heart feels like sand

and words fail me

my Love leans in to offer His lips

but mine meet nothing but the air.

You tease!

About Najat Ozkaya

Najat Ozkaya was born in Konya, Turkey, in the 14th century CE. His father was a Sufi teacher, and Najat assumed his mantle upon his death. Najat's poetry is similar to the Sufi poetry of Rumi or Hafiz, centered on the relationship of the soul with its Beloved, Allah. Najat's writings were thought to be lost to the world, until religion scholar John Mabry discovered a hand-copied manuscript in the Bu Matrak Mosque. Working with a team of Turkish translators, Mabry is rendering selections of Najat's book into contemporary English.
