God Sends Us.

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.
