   Oh my goodness, To write a love letter, I need to fall in love with someone. It's difficult to fall in love with someone prior to December 1st. I mean it's too fast, isn't it? Lol!
   
   Is it possible to write a love letter to God? Or maybe a poem on God's love:) I think I can try.
   
   Bredz, thank you very much for sharing this.
   
   Blessings and Love!!

      These are some of the guidelines, Misbah.
      "A love letter or poem written to any of the following (they MUST be a real person or pet): 
      Your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/significant other/parent (or parents)/child (or children)/grandparent (or grandparents)/a beloved pet/another writer or poet (living or dead)/someone you don't know, but would like to get to know/someone famous (living or dead) "
      Not sure if that would include God, but why not try?

      I have hundreds of classics like that, Misbah. In fact, people call them romantic. I do not tell them I'm speaking to God. Some sense it, so don't. Think of Allah and use the creative side of your nature. Many say wrong things about Rumi's poems, because of the way he wrote.
      
      Think of Allah as a man bringing you gifts, showering you with praises and make use of flowers and the cosmos to describe this Love. Go into your feelings and touch on how the Heart feels and the fact that Love alone will do, nothing else.
      
      Explain how much you yearn or pine for Him, That you offer your life or death for His feet. Don't use divine words, but let your Heart be Divine and you'd do well. Peace.

         Everything you said is correct, my dear brother. If we speak to God as He is the Lover. We will surely experience genuine pleasure. You already know how much I admire your work. Don't you?
