God Sends Us.

[Guest guest]

Each moment contains

a hundred messages from God:

To every cry of

"Oh Lord,"

He answers a hundred times,

"I am here." ~Rumi

 

God sends us love letters,

messages in a bottle of form,

or communications from love to Love.

This intercourse

can be a tiny orgasm,

or multiple,

or stupefying.

The way it arrives is not our business,

how we open up to receive it, is.

 

Making love is an art.

First the brain must be put out like the dog.

Your bedroom must be free of yapping,

and other pet detractions.

Then the heart must be made ready

with longing and acceptance.

You must have a ‘come hither’ look

that is entirely wanton,

and have no other lover in mind.

 

Everyone is looking for a place to fall in love.

Never guessing that the home of love

is they who are a home to themselves.

Loves dwelling

is shut and vacant,

until all the windows are open,

and the hearts welcome mat is put out.

 

We call to love, we cry for love,

we supplicate and entreat,

while God patiently waits;

a tramp begging at our door.

If you want to lie down in this love,

you must make a beautiful woman of your soul,

and call upon yourself

until God finds you irresistible.

It only takes a moment

to surrender like this.

 

 

love
