Mystical Poems of love, life, death, hope and victory!

A selection of mystical love poems, GRAIN -Mystical Poems is for the mature reader whose delight is to curl up in a comfy spot by the fire and drift off into a world of dreams never dreamed.

In that silent solitude, you can hear your ever-present, always already there, still small voice whisper words of inner comfort and guidance.

GRAIN -Mystical Poems is a selection of twenty-eight love sonnets and one long contemplation on death and dying that touches the heart directly. It depicts a sense of mysticism that drives the inner soul to find solace in a wholly different world. The poet brings about a beautiful unification of love and death which has a direct impact on the intriguing mind. The moment of death and its aftermath are amazingly portrayed and meticulously crafted so as to make anyone drift away into a world of hope.

A mature poet, Doug Bentley not only demonstrates his ability to merge the strongest of emotions. He also shows the poet’s ability to reach out to the dreamer in the present technological age and touch his heart in a very private way. As a poet who believes strongly in the power of mysticism, Doug Bentley has produced this poetry book to reach out to the dreamy soul.

Excerpts

GRAIN

a grain of sand all heaven may hold
and the stars spin round a flower;
alchemists exchange precious gold;
philosophers seek the stone of power;

seven wonders may the world awe
and mysteries be knowledge of few;
the spectacle eyes on calvary saw
be secret of life's creation new;

on seven pillars may wisdom be founded
and antique oracles fortune foretell,
but in you my trumpet's sounded;
that love i'll never trade nor sell.

simple love may hold all things;
in your love my simple heart sings!
