A Dialogue Between Love and Yearning

Love speaks, addressing Yearning:

"I am the one who enchants the hearts of lovers with bliss,

Making them surrender to my will, shaping them as time shapes stone.

They rejoice in the cup I offer,

Their minds wander, lost in devotion, only to return,

Rushing back to me in their endless quest.

I am the sovereign, the all-knowing of their love,

While they remain intoxicated, unaware.

Tell me, is this my cursed ailment, my doing?

Or has the flame of passion deepened their thirst for my wine?"

Yearning humbly responds:

"Greetings, my creator, my master of destiny.

Without you, I would not exist; my actions spring from your will.

I am the spark that ignites their hearts,

Leading them astray as they long for more,

Craving the fire that only you can fuel."

Love, moved by Yearning’s words, replies:

"I miss you, teach me how to yearn.

Your fervor, oh Yearning, tires the hearts of lovers.

Yearning is perilous; I cannot fathom its hold on them.

If you are true, show me the art of yearning.

Your path is fraught with thorns,

And those thorns will pierce their feet, weighed down by longing.

Yet, even as yearning burns them,

The fire itself carries each desire straight to the heart."
