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.
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”
