The poem concludes with the assertionthat when one loves they are closer to God.
This piece is short as most Rumi poems are. It begins with the lines featured in the title and continues with: The poem ends on a very inspiring note. The speaker asserts that “suns exist” and that “you” should not give into the darkness.

‘The Flame of Love’ is a six-line poem that asks “thou” how long they are going to spend on superficialities.
