Without Words

Posted on by

I came to you
in a place without words
in the quantum field
where all my electrons
were kicked into a higher orbit
and the speedy surging of the particles
thrummed against my ears and eyes and skin

So merging at the edges
Centers pressing
We approached ourselves
(the physics-induced distance seeming
ever more unbearable)
We rose in mighty effort
to breach its mounting wave
We crested more than once
and still the buoyant sea remains

And we will learn this new each time —
This being —
Open, without rhyme
or even words —
The primal pulse of life
Asserting its own essence
in our forms.

Summons

My touch reached you
Between worlds, you told me —
You felt me there as soft cirrus
Searching wisps that drifted
Through the doors of consciousness
Changing as they went
My fingers were, perhaps, songs
Planes of my skin
A blend of shifting colors
Pulsing through your light, transcendent form
I, awake in this world
Waited solid
My slow stroke 
Inviting your return.

Your Purity

Posted on by

Your purity is not achieved
through negatives —
through not doing
not thinking 
not feeling

Your purity, like that of mountain streams
is won by jumping forth
Leaping in the love of life
Taking on everything
Clearing the stream bed 
through unrepressed movement
Hurtling free
with the forces that gather
Learning your essence
by being.

Opening

It wasn’t an obvious change

Not like signal flags strung up a mast

Each letter’s pattern flapping brightly

Not like an avalanche
Taking down half a mountainside
Not like a rite of passage
Attended by ceremony and celebration
Process and resolve, 
Admonition and attention
Just a small door that was there all along 
Now quietly unlocked.

A Need

Too many nights, he said
we fall in bed
so late that sleep 
seems like the most attractive option.
We need to make the time
to let the sweet desires arise
to let our consciousness entwine
our skin to hum, our hands to find
each other, and our heat to press together
the compelling friction generate
electric sparks, rejuvenate
our sodden hearts, invigorate
the inner currents underneath our skin
the lights across the many miles within
so that we know
our next traverse of day
though walked alone
will call out chimes of common coursing spirit
in tones so strong that everyone can hear it.

Sexy

Sexy eyes
are eyes that see me
recognizing what I really am
Sexy eyes
are eyes that smoke
with that singular vulnerability
of being turned on
They hold me
they promise to take me places
they move with me —
quick concatenations of comprehension
between us
pulling me in.
A sexy body
is one you live in
all the way out to the surface of it
and beyond
A sexy body feels the invitation
and responds.

Two sonnets for the goddess

Posted on by

I.
The goddess moved in me, I welcomed her
Let her cool fire lick outward toward my skin
Let my soft heat respond, suffuse the air
As joy rose swiftly upward from within
Why not? Though stern gatekeepers would prevent us
From spreading love so free, unearned, untallied
Would say such feeling, absent set conditions
Was better to be cast aside than valued
For there’s no harm if all is in her service
If every touch, however meant, will bless
Affirm divinity aroused within us
Light up our day with heightened consciousness
Each time the goddess offers to possess me
I’ll respond with a resounding yes.
II.
Much later, in the courtroom of my mind
Considering the thoughts that I had voiced
I noticed, pleased and curious to find
No stance of opposition to my choice.
In younger days I might have thought it wrong
To know the goddess, let her play a part
Along with God, in crafting my life’s song
Elucidate the function of my heart
But now my sense of what is true is clear
God can be All, and I still have the goddess
Just as I still have sunshine, mountains, stars
All good a part of Truth, resplendent Oneness
My goddess flight is granted quiet landing
So, step by step, unfolds my understanding.
