"Bittersweet" is a poem read by Madonna. She gives this contribution to the project of the guru Deepak Chopra. The poems on this CD were written in the 13rd century by a persian poet called Jalaleddin Rumi. Now, some musicians have added music to these beautiful poems, and they made a perfect new age album. The full name of the CD is "A Gift Of Love: Deepak And Friends Present Music Inspired By The Love Poems Of Rumi", and we can find many famous people reading apart from Madonna: Goldie Hawn, Debra Winger, Demi Moore, Noah Hutton... among others. Madonna reads "Bittersweet", the second poem of the second part of the CD (called "Love Drunk" - with the poems "My Burning Heart", "Bittersweet" and "Intoxicated By Love").

lyric
Bittersweet

In my hallucination
I saw my Beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo; in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the Spirit of Love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow

I yearn for happiness; I ask for help
I want mercy
And my Love says
"Look at me and hear me
Because I am here just for that"

I am your woman and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way eager for you
Without shoes or shroud

I want you to laugh, to kill all your worries
To love you, to nourish you
Oh, Sweet Bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns
