All The Petals Of The Universe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789914707892)

A poet for the lovers, dreamers and believers.

I wish for everyone all the blessings of life. I am open and receptive to God's riches: spiritual, mental and material and they flow to me in avalanches of abundance. How blessed I am! The infinite intelligence of my subconscious brings all I want to pass in divine order. I accept my reality and refuse to resist it. I prosper because I am joyous and affirm this reality mentally and emotionally. God's river of peace governs my mind and activates my body. Divine right action, success, wealth and happiness flow because I understand the laws of the universe and my small part in it. Divine power flows through my thoughts, words, deeds and feelings. I inspire others to experience the riches of life, their minds and mine. I am prosperous in this business of life. Look how abundance overflows! There is so much joy in the hearts of my family. This fabric we wear is not material at all and it knits us together so so wonderfully -this fabric of love, which is an endless and FREE flowing energy from God, directly into our hearts.

This book encourages not only the shedding off of the qualities that harm our experiences of life, but wearing like new skin the qualities that help us become happier and more peaceful beings.

It's a book that can be read by any person at any stage in their lives.

God don't leave me, I'll be back in a second

I told the pastor forgive me
I hope you'll still bless me
I asked God don't leave me
But I'll be back in a second
He asked why are you acting up?
I said I don't know why I keep messing up
Maybe if sin didn't reside
Down bottles of whiskey,
I wouldn't hide
Myself when I'm drinking.
Excuse me as I make a mess of myself
God don't leave me
I'll be back in a second.

He asked about the bounty on my head
I told him I'm the criminal from Israel
That I bought into the triangles and the bills
He said you're lost my child but I love you still
Though there's a mountain in your bed
There's also a crown on your head
I said great but why so much pain?
He said watch yourself and from doubt refrain
So down went another glass.
Like a bitter gulp from the past
Like a swollen wound with puss
I could burst from self-questioning
But instead I'll take another glass
God forgive me as I pass out
Forgive all the ways in which I doubt
I know you love and believe in us
So please don't leave me drunk
I'll be back in a second empty as a tank
Though I suppose I already am.

Poem

You don't know why you look for crumbs
Why you pick so often at your scabs
Why you think the feast others eat
Is not part of your own feast.
Why do you doubt the wind
When it tries to push your wings?
You don't know why you can't just love
Without feeling an emotional flood.
All the colors you've ever know
Are fading away so subliminally
And you don't know what you did wrong
To go from fertile to barren land so quickly.
You and the hill you're ever climbing
You and the prayer in your chest bubbling
You don't know why you keep on waiting
To survive a tragedy that's not happening.
Oversized clothes make you feel secure
Is that why you want your parachute
To land in the middle of nowhere?
Hope in you is pale and without flowers
(Heaven is a place you desire to believe)
Heaven is real but you're not a follower
Every day you feel lower and lower.
Your heart's not fresh from healing
Just stabbing and repeating
You want this poem to reach its ending
You need this poem to do some mending
Blurry you, reading Virginia Wolf
Soft light from outside loving you
You feel as deeply as the ocean
Yet you are no boat
You cry more furiously than the rain
But you are not the storm
