BLURB:

 

Diving Into the Beloved is a mesmerizing collection of poetry that plunges into the realms of love, spirituality, and the soul's longing. Each poem is a profound reflection of the sacred dance between the lover and the Beloved, capturing the essence of divine connection and human vulnerability. Compton's words invite readers to explore the depths of their own hearts, making this book not just a literary work but a spiritual experience—an invitation to embrace the love that resides within and around us. With a youthful, modern interpretation of the path to enlightenment, this collection reminds us of the ecstatic poets like Rumi and Hafiz, yet Compton's voice remains distinctly his own, weaving together concrete details and bold imagery that will leave a lasting impression.

Excerpt:

 

Beloved, take me back

 

to that feeling space

 

in dream time

 

 

 

where I can easily navigate

 

my yellow submarine

 

 

 

with its pink propeller of love

 

while laughing at the absurdity

 

of being a character

 

in your psychedelic cartoon

 

 

 

Laughing and crying tears of tangerines

 

floating endlessly

 

in my submarine of love,

 

silly, as it swims endlessly in you

 

 

 

I give up, I have no clue

 

why I continue to exist on your playground

 

 

 

For the moment I will keep crying and laughing

 

tears of tangerines

 

until there are enough

 

for a giant glass of your morning juice

 

 

 

Then, I hope that when you drink it

 

you will laugh at this cartoon,

 

put it down

 

 

 

and I can go back to composing poetry

 

to the tune of

 

 

 

“We all live in Beloved's submarine

 

Laughing and crying tangerines of pure love

 

floating through galaxies and universes

 

sharing our love fruit with all

 

in Beloved's wild cartoon of Love”
