Here are a few poems from my new book "God's Kissing Booth".
She had finally aged enough
to become
truly lovely.
Open, soft,
floating,
breathing life.
Flowers sprung from her fingers,
clouds floated in her hair,
a big pink moon sat on her shoulder,
waiting for night.
Immense was her welcome.
Animals and all manner of hearts,
from bruised to billowy,
took up residence in her smile,
in her magnetic eyes.
Rain loved falling on her,
creeks went far out of their way
to find her toes.
The wind
used up all its kisses
on her
rosy
cheeks.
She had become a living vessel,
pouring love into
anything that would drink.
Fear,
anger,
sadness and despair
all fell mute at her feet.
With nothing more to live for,
they cast themselves into her loving sea.
She had become the universe,
giggling, dancing,
kissing anything that moved.
And when God had finally seen enough,
He sighed a delighted sigh
and whispered,
“come my love, come”.
She smiled playfully
and dissolved.
The ocean is having a party
tonight.
And just to make sure
the waves
will be decked out
in their finest,
frothy
attire,
the wind is bringing
her dancing shoes.
God must wonder
what it will take to get
our attention.
Every moment, explosions of life
and hardly anyone bats an eye.
Riots of flowers
leaping into existence,
dancing
to
symphonic
winds,
have you noticed?
Trees,
they could just lay there,
but no,
they stand up
all
day
long
proclaiming beauty in
leaves,
branches
and monumental trunks.
Not exactly shy,
are they?
A thousand birds have
a thousand ways
of singing the same
song of love.
There are reasons
you have ears.
All of these are God,
jumping up and down,
waving His arms,
trying to get us to see
how
much
we’re
loved.
"God's Kissing Booth" is my new book of devotional poetry,
inspired by the poems of Rumi and Hafiz.
