The violent counter part of this poem is here
The Sufi's notion of Love is seeing God as the beloved. More often than not, God is the lover in Rumi's poems.
The earth kissed her feet

Warm, Tender, Soft
She slipped
Slid into the belly of a wet, paddy field
Slid into the belly of a wet, paddy field
Its scent on her back
Coarse sand on her neck
Coarse sand on her neck
She took a breath
Hu!
Hu!
The sun touched her brows
Draping its rays as a veil
It dripped down
Like a runnel of desire
A thousand caresses
Sieving through her breasts
Her tummy squeezed out a breath
It dripped down
Like a runnel of desire
A thousand caresses
Sieving through her breasts
Her tummy squeezed out a breath
Hu!
She stretched out her hands
Her fingers found the palm of wind
It tip toed around her body
And touched her tongue
Slowly at first and then like a storm
A blaze of sweet trickle pressed her mouth
Her throat felt a ball of fire
That stretched her body out
Like a bow
A breath sneaked in
Hu!
She saw the stars
She saw Time
The Universe
She saw Love itself
A song without words
And, it covered her
With a glimpse of an ancient memory
She tried to move back
It pulled her in
Tighter, Stronger, Harder
She became pleasure
She became Love
Breathless!
She rose
She stayed
Hu!
